Talk:Adak, Alaska

Untitled

This article says: "Adak Airport has no control tower", Adak Island article says: "Adak Airport has a control tower", Adak Airport article doesn't even mention a tower. So does it have a tower or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.71.101.166 (talk) 07:30, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

"Before taking any fish or game, please have a solid plan to either use the meat, ship it home, or give it away." This sounds more like a brochure than an Encyclopaedia.

Whats EMS? Something to do with Emergency services? - I do wish people would remember the Internet means you are on an INTERNATIONAL network. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.236.111.217 (talk) 02:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Status of Article

This article is a very rough draft, and was not proof-read to a great degree. I am currently working on getting the information from the State of Alaska's community information database copied over for each community, at which point I will come back through and start editing. If this message is still here, that means I have yet to come back. Of course, please feel free to clean this up, hopefully to conform with the WikiProject_Cities standards (or at least, as well as can be done for Alaska's unique villages and towns). Thanks!! —akghetto (talk) 06:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I have removed "second class" descriptor of "city". Maybe this is some official nomenclature, but I would suggest a reference if so.--Slp1 03:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Can someone please add that the zip code for the city is 99546 so others know?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.100.214.55 (talk) 03:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC) 

Can someone explain ...

... the giNORmous population drop between the 1990 and 2000 census? That cries out "there's a story here". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.223.125.30 (talk) 02:26, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Probably due to Naval Air Facility Adak's closure in 1997. 189.230.180.250 (talk) 01:58, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

There also seems to be a story in the sudden swell of Asian population? How come Asians were less than 10% in 2000, but the majority in 2010? 50.117.141.56 (talk) 08:51, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Contradiction: southernmost city in Alaska

As of the timestamp in this signature, both the articles Hyder, Alaska and this one (Adak, Alaska) claim that their subject is the southernmost city in Alaska. They can't both be the southernmost. I would say given that Hyder's latitude is 55 degrees north and Adak's latitude is 51 degrees north, Adak has the better claim.--Captain Breakfast (talk) 13:27, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

I'll correct that on both pages. Hyder is the easternmost. Adak is the southernmost. Although Adak is a more recent settlement, I'm not sure how Hyder was ever mistaken, since nearby communities of Ketchikan, Hydaburg and Metlakatla are all further south. It can claim, however, to be the southernmost community in Alaska that can be reached by car (as opposed to boat/ferry or plane). DJ Jones74 (talk) 03:38, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
