Talk:Delta Junction, Alaska

message: I propose to add an external link to The Delta News Web, http://www.deltanewsweb.com  
While I have been told that it is not normally proper to add or suggest links that one has a personal interest in (I am the publisher), I wonder if in this case the link might be appropriate and helpful. The Delta News Web is a heavily used local news and information resource, and people outside the area interested in the community will find it helpful.  There are many pages of photos and other information about life in Delta, mainly contributed by the community.
What is the procedure now?
Thanks...David

message: This may be trivia, but...I found myself reading through various things, as I couldn't stay awake long enough to finish the work I started.  From that reading, it appears that Mayor Hallgren was also mayor of Sitka during the 1990s.  There have been a number of individuals throughout Alaska's history who have been the mayor of more than one town or city, but I don't believe those cases involved two cities spread as far apart as Delta Junction and Sitka.

Talk:Chenega, Alaska

message: Inuit is not a euphemism for Eskimo.  It is a language group.  And the people there on Old Chenega, or their ancestors, would have spoken Alutiiq.  The weren't Eskimos.   Inuit is the language of Greenland and parts of Canada.  There are people in Alaska who speak an Inuit-family language, but they call themselves Inupiaq, and the people of Old Chenega were not Inupiaq. The Inupiaq live up North, a thousand miles and more away from Old Chenega.  It is like calling all Europeans "Romans", because there is some Latin in many European languages. Before you start calling people strange names, you should talk to one of them and see what they want to be called.Hypercallipygian (talk) 00:12, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

message: this place has a lot of history, it's a shame the article reads like an almanac.
I imagine you were the one who went and added all of the stuff, then?  The result is an entry which lacks objectivity, and is very short on citations. Too much opinion and terrible demonstration of writing. The entire section titled "Americanization of..." needs to be changed or deleted. You need to spell-check and correct all of the grammar mistakes.  You have horrible word selection, subject-verb disagreement, subject-subject disagreement, nonsense statements, etc. Most importantly, though, an almanac brief entry would be better than this opinion piece posing as a -pedia entry. Blending mythology with historicity is poor form, and should be separately discussed in an article about the people, except for where that might particularly be about this settlement. 2602:304:CD8A:D5C0:8C76:291F:7E76:13F4 (talk) 04:07, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
