Please, please a map! I know it is mentioned above, but it's frustrating that there is not one. I'm Canadian and have no idea where this place is!
Let's also get away from the usual Wikipedia practice of including only an outline provincial map of the country or province with the subject area marked out in solid red (see the Wikipedia article "Minas Gerais" [Brazil] as an example).
What we ideally need is a number of maps as follows:
Is it possible for a single set of maps to be used in a number of Wikipedia articles and shared between them?
I know this is long and more wordy than is usual for Wikipedia's style sheet, but I through-wrote it with the intention of breaking certain things off, like the subarticle on the Cariboo horses. The scale of the district is comparable to several US counties, even whole states, so it may be better to use the county style format for the main chilcotin district page; things like chilcotin history, chilcotin horses, chilcotin literature, chilcotin first nations would be sub/linked pages (the chilcotin first nations page is already in existence as Tsilhqot'in; I created the disambiguation page to create Chilcotin District as the information was missing from the Tsilhqot'in page. Questions to mikeclevenNO@SPAMgmail.com. Sources to be quoted on next revision; advice on format and break-up and other input requested from wikipedia staff.
In the article, I noticed that the link to Hanceville is to the page for Hanceville, Alabama, USA. Probably not what was intended.

For lack of anywhere else to put these, and as this is the main article for Category:Chilcotin Country, I'll list articles in need of writing/expanding here as a sort of project page for Chilcotin-related articles; others specific to the First Nation will be on Talk:Tsilhqot'in.

Please add anything else that comes to mind; Edward Choate/ Chilco Choate and Sage Birchwater should probably get bios, along with Ralph Edwards if he's not in here already...he's not that link goes to an American broadcaster; so Ralph Edwards (conservationist) or Ralph Edwards (naturalist) are definitely needed; FN bios needed can be listed at Talk:Tsilhqot'in, but for now I'll mention Fred Quilt as an important one to get done.

I should have made this "Chilcotin Country" from the start, and now regret using Chilcotin District; both are citable; the reason for my regret is in my long absence a CFDS changed Category:Chilcotin Country to Category:Chilcotin District and it just sounds WRONG in that context, especially because of the other "Country" categories for BC, which are more conventional and in wide use though not formally in any dictionary; e.g. Cariboo Country, Skeena Country, Peace River Country" etc...the use of "District" will cause confusion with "Regional District" and also with District Municipality. The term "Chilcotin district" (small-d) is in common use but as a proper name does not exist, only "the Chilcotin" and "Chilcotin Country" (small or caps 'c'). Alerted to this by edits to 'Chilcotin Ranges' which tried to supplant the misnomer "Southern Chilcotin Mountains", which is citable BUT INCORRECT, for the real current name " Spruce Lake Protected Area". Not into remedying this right now by a move request and a CFD fight, but damn this page was one of the first I made, now I realize the consequences.... Category:Chilcotin would be preferable, ultimately,but would not stand, also Category:Cariboo and Category:Okanagan and Category:Kootenays etc.....but explaining this to someone not familiar with geographic terms in British Columbia, or trying to cite it, has proven hard in the past; even getting someone to admit that "the Interior" should be capitalized was a battle......

BTW it's nice to hear someone understand my thought processes, instead of stylizing me as "ranting" or "angry" just because I'm long-winded and detailed and know what I'm talking about.... Skookum1 ( talk) 13:47, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
This is tecnically "correct" /tʃɪlˈkoʊtɪn/ but the usual pronunciation where the /tɪ/ is replaced by a glottal stop is by far the way this name is usually heard; a "swallowed" /t/, as with also Edmonton quite often. Skookum1 ( talk) 07:21, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
