We are endeavouring to bring the list of municipalities for every province and territory of Canada to featured status. We have created a standardized format and so far promoted Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. We have also taken suggestions from the previous 6 nominations into account for this nomination.

With your reviewing help, we are hoping to eventually reach featured topic when all lists are featured quality and have been promoted. Our project is currently 6/13 complete, hoping to make it 7 with this nomination. All suggestions welcome and thank you for your input! Mattximus (talk) 22:04, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • This list looks fine, and does not appear to be a fork. One thing I noticed though, where do the remaining 10 people live? Nergaal (talk) 09:45, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Nergaal: thanks for reviewing. Five live in the unincorporated settlement of Umingmaktok, while five live in the unorganized portion of Baffin Island. I can add a note tomorrow afternoon at the end of the first paragraph. The note will indicate that the remaining 0.03% of the population, or 10 people, are split between these two places. Does this location seem appropriate for the note, or did you have another location in mind? Hwy43 (talk) 11:03, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the list looks fine, but please clarify "Cities, Town and Villages Act" - I assume it refers to the constitution of Canada. Nergaal (talk) 12:12, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Nergaal:. Thank you for your review and support! The act in question is legislation of the neighbouring territory to the west, the Northwest Territories. The second paragraph mentions this and the note at the end of the first sentence explains why Nunavut uses the legislation of its neighbor. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Only the intro, not the body. Nergaal (talk) 22:49, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Hwy43 (talk) 07:25, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - short and sweet, only a couple small comments that I don't think are worth holding off for.

  • The first sentence of "Cities" is so long! Cut it off after "Community Affairs", then start the next sentence up as "The proposed city must have a minimum assessed land". Same thing for "Towns".  Done
  • Note c says there's three unincorporated settlements, but note d only lists 1, plus a region. Do settlements without citizens count as settlements?
    • Actually yes, I had to look it up. The other two settlements have a population of 0. I suspect they used to have a population in the past, but the residents have since moved away. Do you think I should mention this factoid in the note? Mattximus (talk) 23:18, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - To protect privacy, Statistics Canada rounds the population of communities with 15 or less people to the nearest 5 people, so both settlements could very well have residents. Even if they truly both do not have any residents, the places are still designated as "settlements" according to Statistics Canada. Hwy43 (talk) 06:42, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you found this review helpful, consider optionally reviewing the FLC for Hugo Award for Best Fancast up above - it's also short! --PresN 22:40, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'll see if I have time this weekend, thanks either way for the review! Mattximus (talk) 23:18, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Iqaluit held town status prior to incorporating as a city. - When
  • Cities, Town and Villages Act - Why not just stick to CTVA throughout the body? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:14, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the ce and the review. I've made the changes, and found a source for the dates cited. Please let me know if there is anything else that can improve this article as well as the lists for the other provinces and territories. We are planning on creating a featured topic with all lists, having 6/13 already standardized and at featured list status. Mattximus (talk) 01:32, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Likewise thanks and likewise I found a source but Mattximus beat me to it. I've split his contribution into the three applicable sections. Hwy43 (talk) 03:42, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Very well written article. Good work, Mattximus and Hwy43. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:59, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
