I have ordered and grouped the sections in a way that seems consistent with a majority of the Province articles. I intend to do the same with the other 9 plus territories unless someone disputes this. On a factual note, I observe three different figures regarding the areal size of NWT in the article. Perhaps someone knowledgeable could take a look. Verne Equinox ( talk)
An issue has come up: should the infobox to this article contain the field "government_type", filled in with "Parliamentary system with consensus government". Since this issue affects all ten provinces and the three territories, a Request for Comment has been started on the Canadian Wikipedians Notice Board. If you are interested in this issue, please come to the Notice Board and contribute to the discussion. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 01:18, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
I am not certain where an article about time zones could be built in Wikipedia: as a subsection of the N.W.T. main article, or as its own article.
From information at Timeanddate.com, I have ascertained that until 29 April 1979, the area that now is part of the N.W.T. since 1999 had two time zones. With some exceptions, the area west of longitude 120°W was using Pacific Standard Time, as was Ulukhaktok (Holman). The exceptions west of 120°, using MST, were Deline (Fort Franklin), Tulita (Fort Norman), Fort Good Hope, Tungsten (occupied since 1961 and beyond 1979) and the Canol Camp (occupied 1942-45) across from Norman Wells, thus producing an irregular boundary. However, these five exceptions should not be considered definitive, as the "official" record may have not prevailed over local preferences.
Is this worthy of inclusion in the N.W.T. article? GBC ( talk) 03:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
I noticed that a lot of the climate section in this article is unsourced. I'm not confident enough in my ability to comprehend meterological information but hopefully this source could be of some use to someone whose better at this than me! Cheers, Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 03:31, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi Mediatech492, it's unclear what you mean here. Could you explain? Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 03:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
