Coastline lengths 'n' stuff
I'm pretty sure I don't have the coastline figures accurate; could be 40,000 for all I know; it's more than the rest of the coastline by about that propotion or difference, whatever the n0,000 is.
History section has yet to be completed. I put section headings below that to give an idea where this is going but this was a draft and I did it in one go this afternoon. Maps soon. Probably should get used to putting things of this size together in the sandbox, but I'm working off the wikification of the regional geography right now and was setting this up for various interlinks already in place as links but without entries to go with them . . . This is a companion-piece, regionally-speaking, to

Communities list vs First Nations list
I feel a little awkward separating these two; many individual First Nations are also single villages/locations and constitute communities; not having them in the communities list is a bit segregating; the whole point of the First Nations list is the respective sovereignties/cultures; whereas the communities list is meant to be places of note and which have services etc. The regional coalescences of First Nations political entities are probably what I should link to here to make it work, so there's not 400 First Nations communities listed (all with wildly-difficult to spell names).Skookum1 01:52, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Rivers associated with inlets
It occurred to me earlier while looking at another article somewhere (?) that the list of inlets and waterways here could be given greater context if the rivers associated with them were also listed; I think for formatting reason this would be best done as a table/boxformat but I'm open to suggestions; also in the same league are any named ranges, such as the Namu Range near the townlet of the same name, and overall the division between the Pacific and Coast Ranges. Examples of the river-inlet connection are Howe Sound-Squamish River, Toba Inlet-Toba River, But Inlet-Homathko/Southgate Rivers, Knight Inlet-Klinaklini River, Dean Channel-Dean River and so on. At present I've only marked Telegraph Passage, the outlet of the inlet-like Skeena estuary, but as far as a page describing the coastal geography may be a four-column system with inlet-waterway | islands/archipelagos | rivers | ranges might work. Anything else? Other than illustrative photos - I'm already working on a suitable map.Skookum1 03:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Re-organization
I've been meaning to come back here for a while to try and give this page some structure; no luck yet on the map, but maybe that's best as a group of maps is probably more suitable here than one big-area map only. This ties in with my main recommendation/agenda here, which is to break the page into sections for hte regions - North Coast, Central Coast, South Coast, and their respecvtive subregions, hwoever defined. This is partly because of links like
Compare section to this external website
Can someone re-word this section or put into quotes all the information from Worlds Rim Fjords? It looks like copyvio. SriMesh | talk 21:31, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- LOL by them, you mean...I'm the author of that passage, written freehand from the top of the noggin; look at the original edit(s) to the page and check the content; worldrim.com "pirated" it, but because it's public domain they didn't pirate it at all, they just copy-pasted from the wiki article, which I stress again is of my authorship and others can attest to signs of my handiwork and habitual syntax etc. This page is due for a major overhaul anyway, as the North/South/Central/Outer Coast sections need breaking up; the list of inlets and rivers etc can almost be a separate list-article. I've also puzzled, as I did over it when preparing to make it, what kind of title could take in the whole fjord-complex from Puget Sound to Yakutat or at least to Glacier Bay; i.e. the Washington-BC-Alaska Panhandle coastline as a single geographic concept; "Northwest Coast" extends farther north and south, but I thnk you may understand what I mean; for now there are three articles for one coastline, otehr than Northwest Coast of North America, though there is of course Pacific Northwest]; but that's not the coast only; one of the points of this article's title is it is apposite to[ British Columbia Interior (which has similar structural/arrangement problems, i.e. South, Central, North etc),. Just laying all this out so you know what's out there; and to reassure you not only that worldrim.com are the copycats, and there is no copyvio here, and that this page will be a substantially better page than theirs coce it's ever done (as such sites don't have contributors, and instead of copying-over from sites that do). Anyway it was a wiki clone you were looking at, though uncredited and I supposed standalone (and not hyperlinked).Skookum1 (talk) 22:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)]
One Big Coast, but no name for it
