"Alaska is bounded on the north by Stefanssen, on the east by perdition, on the west by Bolshevism, and on the south by applications for government jobs." – Anton Anderson, 1952
"...Alaska was largely a terra incognita; the literature pertaining to it was scanty and of dubious accuracy. In fact, so much was so misleading that it became natural and a seeming duty to put down facts and to correct the inaccuracies found everywhere in the public print." — Edward L. Keithahn, 1966
Welcome to WikiProject Alaska! This WikiProject was formed to foster better articles on the U.S. state of Alaska with a spirit of cooperation. This page and its subpages contain suggestions on formatting and layout of articles, which can be discussed at the project's talk page. To participate, simply add your name at the member section below.
Urgent: An editor in Alaska able/willing to actively work with the Wikipedia Ambassador Program to provide direction/oversight for any articles within the project which are being improved upon under the program.
Knik, Alaska, the ghost town, and Knik River, Alaska, the CDP, are not the same place. In fact, they are approximately an hour's drive away from each other.
Despite its name of "City and Borough of Yakutat," this entity is a borough, not a consolidated city-borough.
See the talk page (or archives of same) of WP:ALASKA, or of the articles in question, for more information.
Maintain: add ((WikiProject Alaska)) to the talk pages of Alaska-related articles and add the articles to Wikipedia:WikiProject Alaska/Recent changes (if not done already by a bot) so related changes link works.
