I edited and wikified much of the article, and organised it. Please correct any errors. Thanks. Vidioman 03:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Date Discrepancy In 1940, Tom sold 109 claims located west of Steep Rock to Midwest Iron Mining Corporation, and in March 1945 with 60 claims in his name, created Rawn Iron Mines Ltd. On July 23, 1940, Rawn went out prospecting near Sapawe, and never returned. Parties searched for weeks, but his remains were never found.

The result of the proposal was move. Mind matrix 15:24, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
This page should be renamed per the criteria at WP:CANSTYLE. It appears to be the primary use of the term Atikokan, and an internet search for the term, excluding the term "Ontario" to find occurrences not related to this township, yields numerous hits, of which the first 100 are almost all related to the township. Mind matrix 13:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
What do you mean 'known locally'? It is not just 'known locally'; Atikokan actually is the Canoeing Capital of Canada. Just because some Southern Ontario town gerrymanders Canadian history (for the umpteenth time), to cunningly make it look to the world as if only Southern Ontario is the 'real' Canada, does not make their claim correct. Atikokan is, and has been for a long time, the unquestionable Canoe Capital of Canada.
Good Heavens, don't we have some prominent Canadian woman who is supposed to be on the senior Wiki review board who can check into these things and verify the truth? (Wait, as I recall ......... she is from Southern Ontario herself !! ..... oh no .....all is lost ..... !!)

This article needs references and additional material is being added without refs. This needs to change in order to bring it up to Wikipedia standards. Please add refs when you add new material. As always, Happy editing. Daffydavid ( talk) 05:48, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
The info box and the article contradict each other - one says they observe Eastern time, the other says Central time. To be perfectly honest I really don't remember which one they observe although central time seems correct. Happy Editing Daffydavid ( talk) 06:47, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Jessicacolvin, could you make an effort to make your additions more encyclopedic? New material is good and appreciated, and may come with some imperfections which I'd be happy to help on a little, but if it's a mile off people are going to just delete it instead of fixing it up. For example your recent group of additions reads like an activities brochure or a promotional brochure rather than encyclopedic material. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 11:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
This book is unavailable anywhere except possibly an institutional library in Georgia. The lack of an ISBN number is also disturbing. Without addition of additional refs the added material is basically unrefed. If additional refs are not added this material will have to be removed. Happy Editing. Daffydavid ( talk) 08:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
I noticed after I updated the refs that StatsCan has two different figures for the population. This seems odd, I will look into it another day as the pages appear to convey the same info other than the 2 figures. If you can explain the difference I'd love to hear it. Happy Editing. Daffydavid ( talk) 02:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
The: "Timber was first noticed in the area as early as 1886......The first attempt at harvesting timber in the area was in the 1870s" is self-conflicting and needs to be fixed. Does anybody know what actually first happened in 1886 and the 1870's?
It looks like logging (and sawmills) first started only as an adjunct to mining. Then later Red & White pine harvested for lumber. Then later (as pulp mills got closer) pulp wood logging. North8000 ( talk) 11:49, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
The article has improved in this area, has a normal amount of references. On the minus side, an elusive book or booklet has been sued extensively and some of the stuff that cited it doesn't sound quite right. And there are also a few unsourced statements that dont' seem quite right. For example, the "fur trade era" sounds like a shaky and possibly wrong summay of the development of the fur trade in a 3-4 province + 1 state area, wit not mention of Atikokan's involvement, probably because it didn't exist during the described period. I'm planning on taking out a few of the shakier statements and removing the top level tag. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 00:15, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
