replies: text: Just happened to see this while sending/saving comments below.  Wanted to add that the Cariboo, the South Cariboo in particular, is known for being heavily German more and more in recent years, andthere's other patterns to German immigration in BC, historically and today (I was raised in the Central Fraser Valley....); I'd jibed somewhere, but in seriousness, about a History of German immigration to Canada and Scandinavian, Irish, Scots, Italian and other relevant equivalents, since the huge History of Chinese immigration to Canada shouldn't be the only one.  I think a title like History of German settlement in British Columbia might work better; the provincial title actually because of the important German role in the colonial era, and in the early provincial days when, though part of Confederation, European immigrants to BEC were of a difffrerent ilk than the farmer immigrants on the Prairies or the religious immigrants that came later (Mennonites, Moravians etc).  I won't go on about this, just wanting to ask MacLean25 to keep handy his German-BC stats and keep an eye out for materials worth putting in that.  The Germans were the third/fourth largest in the country for a long time, and were very prevalent in BC right from  1858 onwards, and in some areas still are; theres' also a whole story to pre-WWI German culture/society in BC (see Talk:Werner von Alvensleben and also the first section on my current pre-soon-to-be-archived talkpage) and a luminary cast of characters throughout, from "Dutch Bill" Dietz who found Williams Creek and so created Barkerville to the Kosters and Krugers and Richters of ranching/orcharding and poitical fame.  No, I'm not German; I just think it's rich material, and an important and historic part of BC's "cultural diversity", which so manyh people think is about colour (usually their own).Skookum1 (talk) 04:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Are you question whether the population isn't notable, or the article itself? I'm a bit lost on what you're saying... crassic![talk] 00:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: that's a very old comment, and I think he/she means on the front page of Wikipedia where this might have appeared as an FA...but that kind of raw-numbers bias is tiresome and out of whack with reality in the sub-Arctic were places of this size are what is notable, given that other communities, such as there may be, are so much smaller; this is a major regional centre; the bias of an IP address located in Kingston ON against places that are "not notable" in Ontario, or the UK or US, is quite irrelevant.Skookum1 (talk) 06:20, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  population 11,000? 

message: I just created this stub, but wasn't able to find it on a satmap to give its coordinates exactly (ideally the base of the lift) or anything about its elevation or snowfall.  Any Dawson Creek locals who can fix that up, please do.Skookum1 (talk) 19:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Bear Mountain Ski Hill]]

message: It would be great if someone could please research and update the economic statistics for Dawson Creek, to more accuratly reflect the current reality there.
The existing stats are over 12 years old and have changed drastically since then.
Thank You!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.185.133.5 (talk) 18:03, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Economy statistics are over 12 years old! 

message: Pretty sure this was because my power went out just after I'd hit send; I remember it was this page was where I was when that happened; so only part of my data sent got processed.Skookum1 (talk) 03:32, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Several summer months have values for the lowest measured wind chill that are higher than the lowest measured temperature.  Im going to attribute this to sparse data for summer windchills rather than assuming the climate data is corrupt.  I imagine that if I went looking I could probably find dozens more examples of this just in Canada, .... if we want to point it out it would probably be best suited for the wind chill article rather than mentioning it on every city page.  —Soap— 22:12, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wind chills that are warmer than the temperature 

message: This FA was promoted in 2006 and does not meet the current criteria. Issues:
* lots of uncited information (full sections that lack inline citations: "Transportation and infrastructure", "Education", "Media");
* the "Economy" section is dated, with links from 2005, 2006, 2000, 2007... Unemployment rate, poverty rate from 2001;
* the text in the "Demographics" section does not reflect the 2011 census. It reflects the 2006 one;
* the section on notable people should use prose instead of bulleted points;
* It seems like Prince George—Peace River changed its name to Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies in 2015 and that still hasn't been corrected in this article.  
The article needs an update to rise to current FA standards. RetiredDuke (talk) 21:37, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
