List of Northwest Territories capitals[edit]

Former Featured List Candidate nomination failed do to lack of interest, with no oppose votes. It was suggested that this article is not much of a list by one person, but could be improved to a real feature standard article by another. Since I created researched and for the most part, with a little help here and there got this article to where it is, i am kinda out of ideas. So I yield the floor. --Cloveious 00:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You should rename it ot "Capitals of the Nortwest Territories" or "Northwest Territories Capitals". It's not really a list. Other than that I can't really think of any improvements; it's a good article. Luigizanasi 03:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the compliment, I will rename the article at the conclusion of the peer review process --Cloveious 06:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The writing is concise but doesn't flow well at points. Consider expanding the intro to discuss what the capital means to the Northwest Territories (government functions it performed). Try re-orienting the page so that it conveys more of a list format like this List of Northwest Territories capitals/temp. Add an image of Ottawa and Fort Smith for consistency. --maclean25 07:46, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That is an interesting layout. I could not find what I thought was a relevant image for Ottawa or Fort Smith, Ideally I want a picture of the building on Sparks street where the Northwest Territories assembly sat, but i'm not sure if the current office on sparks street is where the assembly was. Let me dig around, of course if anyone in Ottawa could go snap a picture of the current building for the NWT office in Ottawa that would work for me. For Fort Smith I'm not sure what to show but let me dig around. Also if anyone has a public domain image of the current Northwest Territories legislature building I would gladly change out the photo. --Cloveious 22:50, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the opening paragraph, to try and convey meaning to what a capital means to the Northwest Territories. --Cloveious 06:37, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Being the capital city would mean there would be a migration of 'skilled' labour (ie. bureaucrats) to the city to run government programs. What programs were run from the capital? What was the capital city's relationship with the rest of the Territories? Did the capital's location have any effects on the rest of the Territories (ie. was the goverment's attention focused on certain parts of the Territories, meaning other places were ignored)? --maclean25 05:20, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Fort Smith picture! I will see what I can come up with on those questions --Cloveious 08:39, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
