I, too, may be seen as being biased in my view because I am a native of Monroe County, although I have not lived there for many years.

All of the blue colored communities allow readers to visit the article and learn more about the place, while redlinks simply lists the name of a place with no evedence the place actually exists.  I have added back Big Springs and Potash, with a source, as they appear to be populated places, however, Rock Stand and Tin Shop are listed in GNIS as "locales", which are places "at which there is or was human activity" but "does not include populated places".  These places are generally not listed as unincorporated communities, however, if you are able to find sources supporting that these places were once populated please included them.

Talk:Bessie Smith

message: Currently the article has a section about Digital Remasters that claims, "Given those historic limitations, the current digitally remastered versions of her work deliver significant improvements in the sound quality of Smith's performances. Some critics believe that the American Columbia Records compact disc releases are somewhat inferior to subsequent transfers made by the late John R. T. Davies for Frog Records.[35]"  However, the citation ([35] "100 Best Jazz Recordings". Telegraph. Retrieved 2015-08-30) has no mention of the Columbia recordings or anything about comparative quality.  This reads like an advertisement.

message: The focus of this article is clearly meant to be a discussion of burning as a method of execution, rather than instances of where people are killed by fire more generally, whether by arson, firebombing in war (e.g. Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki), or fires caused by law enforcement operations (e.g. Waco).

message: Need someone with better code-fu than myself to fix this. The article uses , which, when Alaska is selected for the state parameter, causes it to incorrectly display at the top of the box that this is a borough (Alaska version of a county). This is clearly incorrect, this is a census-designated area and part of the Unorganized Borough which has no local government.

Talk:Valdez–Cordova Census Area, Alaska

message: The change to this article and related content was perhaps a bit hasty and is yet another example of Wikipedians pulling facts out of thin air merely because they can be sourced.  I clicked on the source and found the following in the second paragraph:Note:  The Census Bureau does not have maps illustrating the boundary changes listed on this web page. Contact the state or county governments affected for more specific information about these changes.Since this is part of the Unorganized Borough, the state would be solely responsible for providing those maps.  Going to the pertinent page, you see nothing which reflects this change, despite the note stating that the maps are based on 2019 data.  I doubt there will be anything reflecting the change until finalized data from the 2020 Census is released. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  17:50, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I have access to in-depth census data.  That's the problem, though.  Whatever information folks have pulled off the web over the years makes no mention of census subareas.  And since I haven't studied census data in-depth for the other 49 states, I don't know if this is a standard feature of census geography or if it's an anomaly to account for Alaska's unique local government structure.  IF (big variable) any paper sources exist for the 2010 Census, they may contain the answer to this puzzle.  Since I'm in a place with such resources, I'll try to dig it up in what little time I have today.  Otherwise, I'll have to get back with you.

Where did the size information come from?  The entire and former Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area was 11,376.73 square miles, according the U.S. Census Bureau.  Another wikipedia article on Skagway lists its borough size as 464.4 square miles.

"[T]he Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina . . . has published a map showing the social vulnerability to disaster of every county in the United States. It’s a resilience map that takes into account such things as poverty, age and the percentage of people with special needs. The five most vulnerable counties are, in order, the Bronx; Wade-Hampton in Alaska; Manhattan; Buffalo, S.D.; Daniels, Mont."
Note that Wade-Hampton is right up there, with two much more famous boroughs. This claim is notable enough to be in Wikipedia. Some one should research it.
