message: The very big fishing ship Akamalik lies here, at least accordning to swedish tv. Should be mentioned, and Akamalik should also have a page of its own. See for example

thread_title:  Akamalik lies here 

message: The graph :File:Sisimiut-population-dynamics.png is currently misleading, or more specifically violating recommendations in WP:GRAPH, in particular Wikipedia:Don't draw misleading graphs. For instance, due to incorrect origin of y-axis, the graphics "fools" the reader by indicating that population sunk by 50% from 1993 to 1994, while according to the numbers the fluctuation was less than 1%. Oceanh (talk) 13:59, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it is misleading. The changes in population are small, and it is these small variations that are of interest, for all settlements in Greenland. A graph with the y-axis starting from 0 would be useless for all of them. I can add the y-axis label though. — Algkalv (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for response and for your arguments. As I am not an expert on demographics I can not take part in discussions on that subject. If this type of graph is a standard and widely accepted way to present population growth, then it is probably "ok", provided a cited reference to the adopted method or practice is given. If it is not, I would recommend to avoid introducton of new or nonstandard graphical presentations in violation of WP:GRAPH. Oceanh (talk) 13:24, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Every single bar is supplied with a number. Had I included only the axis threshold label, then we might discuss issues. There is nothing wrong with this graph. Standard != axis at zero. — Algkalv (talk) 13:30, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Misleading population graph

message: I don't know if you know but short paragraphs are frowned upon at GA and FA level. They disrupt the flow of the article. Paragraphs should be of reasonable length and comprehensive. It is not necessary to break everything down into tiny sections. Dr. Blofeld 21:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: While some of the sections can be combined (Europeans with Colonial Era, and Municipal center section removed), it is wrong to dump the entire history text into one gargantuan section. These are very different eras, and artificial joining of the sections does not help in any way. Please provide a pointer to GA requirement that there should be no subsections. The current era subsections are long enough on their own. — Algkalv (talk) 21:22, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: That example is not useful. This isn't even close to a featured article, and in all likelihood will never be, simply due to the subject matter. Again, there is nothing in GA guidelines to indicate this sort of mergning. Also, remember that there is a difference between an article about a village and an article about London. There is even a wikipedia essay about that. It's called scope. If you support the merges outlined above, let's do it. It will improve the article. — Algkalv (talk) 21:29, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Again, please provide a hard guideline, because for any example, there is a counterexample. I explained above why merging long paragraphs for very different eras is harmful. — Algkalv (talk) 21:33, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Done. — Algkalv (talk) 21:35, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Can you combine the two celebrations photos into a right-aligned multiphoto as in this revision? (though then the vertical would need to go, as it would be a dupe) — Algkalv (talk) 21:54, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Also, the lead should not have citations per wp:lead. The population section contains a ref. It would be better if the ref was moved to the infobox. — Algkalv (talk) 21:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Ok. More climate is good, if you can find references (I found them hard to find). Will do the lead and the image stack. Btw, please add edit summaries for your edits; it's a lot clearer then, and not just me, but anyone who looks at history. Particularly at that stage in the article age. — Algkalv (talk) 22:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Done. — Algkalv (talk) 22:26, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I'm not aware of any environmental concerns, so it's best that you add that section/subsection. Also, there is a number of mostly minor issues with the latest additions. I'll address them later. — Algkalv (talk) 10:27, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I don't know what that's supposed to mean. The content you add is subject to the same scrutiny as mine, or anyone else's. — Algkalv (talk) 10:41, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Absolutely. — Algkalv (talk) 15:36, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Probably not, as nearly all, and all notable outlets and orgs are Nuuk-based. — Algkalv (talk) 15:58, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: The proposed map is not very good. A small location map that shows Nuuk near the southern extremity, and Sisimiut near the northern extremity can be crafted, but that requires substantial work to produce if this is to be a quality product − a matter of several days or longer. I'd say that's something to keep in a to-do list for later. It's not a ga requirement, but I agree it would be nice. 
Fallingrain should be erased from the surface of this globe. — Algkalv (talk) 16:25, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging short paragraphs 

message: Per WP:Images#Forced_left_justification, the images should be on the right, unless there are expceptional circumstances, and a lot of text to support such special alignment. In the case of transport in this article, there isn't. — Algkalv (talk) 16:35, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Much better. Looks almost perfect now. I'd also get rid of the Taseralik photo. For some settings available in Wikipedia, it will overlap the section below. Would you agree with a removal? — Algkalv (talk) 16:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: My personal opinion is that it's low quality, and doesn't really add anything to the article... I think two images in that section are fine. I could upload a museum photo though. — Algkalv (talk) 17:10, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I have photos of the sculptures (all kinds), but any upload would be a copyvio. I can only upload the building itself. — Algkalv (talk) 17:15, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I don't. I also think any more images would be overdoing it, again per wp:images. — Algkalv (talk) 17:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I think the first photo in that section gives a good overview of the town environment already. — Algkalv (talk) 17:52, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: To sum up, I think the article has been much improved. Another pair of eyes than ours would be beneficial at this stage. — Algkalv (talk) 17:54, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Agree on distance. I think demo and climate sections are good as they are, and more than sufficient for ga level. Expansion is always good though. One of the reqs for ga is article stability. We're there, I think, but what would be good now is a hunt for typos, colloquialisms, etc. Preferably from a so inclined editor who has not been involved. The famed another pair of eyes trained on the detail. — Algkalv (talk) 18:25, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

text: We're in agreement then. Thank you for your work on the article, regardless of ga nom as such. — Algkalv (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
