To-do list for Anchorage, Alaska: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2020-10-26
Help is needed with the following in order to improve not only this article, but the overall encyclopedic coverage of Anchorage:
- General
- Update population estimate data on a yearly basis. The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development publishes new numbers every year, accessible from this webpage.
- Compare current state of the article to "Information on Anchorage" from the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce (and similiar works) to address any lingering plagiarism (see this write-up for details).
- Expand Government section (the section can be renamed Government and politics).
- The Roads subsection of the Transportation section contains excessive details about a few major roads which already have their own articles. Consider moving those details to those articles and rewriting the subsection to reflect a more generalized overview of Anchorage's road system.
- Rewrite Bears in Anchorage, Alaska as Wildlife in Anchorage, Alaska, as this topic would also benefit from being covered in a more generalized context as opposed to a POV fork.
- History of Anchorage, Alaska needs expanding, along with pictures of Anchorage in the early days and today.
- Consider merging the following: Anchorage Football Stadium, Ben Boeke Ice Rink and Mulcahy Stadium into one article, Chester Creek Sports Complex (which includes Sullivan Arena, though that should remain a separate article).
- Biographies
- Cleanup
- New articles
- Major districts/neighborhoods and historically separate communities lacking their own article, such as Basher (or Stuckagain Heights), Bird, Fairview, Glen Alps, the Hillside, Midtown, Mountain View, Muldoon, Peters Creek and U-Med, plus any others.
- Alaska Heritage Museum (founded as an adjunct of National Bank of Alaska by Elmer E. Rasmuson, can also be sufficiently explained in either of those articles rather than created as a standalone article)
- Alaska Museum of Natural History
- Alaska Regional Hospital (blue link is a {{R without mention}} to Hospital Corporation of America, which isn't necessarily helpful as the hospital has had many owners throughout its history)
- Anchorage Assembly (see this article for reference)
- Anchorage Baptist Temple and Anchorage Christian Schools
- Anchorage Fire Department Museum
- Anchorage Municipal Light & Power
- Anchorage Public Library (Draft:Anchorage Public Library was submitted with numerous issues, which were never addressed, and was deleted in December 2014)
- Anchorage Ski Club (parent of Alpenglow at Arctic Valley with indications of independent notability, but can also redirect to that article)
- Anchorage Sports Arena (went defunct ca. 1980, but was an important venue prior to the construction of the Egan Center and Sullivan Arena)
- Anchorage Telephone Utility (also defunct, but can't be adequately explained in existing articles on successor entities due to its own history)
- Atwood Foundation
- Campbell Airstrip
Campbell Creek, including greenbelt and trail system as well as Campbell Lake
Chester Creek, including greenbelt and trail system, Valley of the Moon Park and Westchester Lagoon
- Chilkoot Charlie's
- Chugach Electric Association
- Earthquake Park
- Enstar Natural Gas
- Far North Bicentennial Park
- International Ice Carving Competition
- Lake Spenard
- Mount Alyeska
- Northway Mall
- Point Campbell Military Reservation (established 1921, most of the reservation's area is now Kincaid Park, so it could be explained in that article)
- Rasmuson Foundation (the note accompanying Heritage Library Museum notwithstanding, there is a lot more evidence of independent notability in this case)
- Russian Orthodox Museum
- Sunrise Bakery
- Town Square Park (Anchorage, Alaska)
- University Center (defunct shopping mall and major destination 1970s–1990s — as a part of Wally Hickel's real estate empire, could also be explained in that article)
- Wildlife Education Center (at JBER, formerly the Elmendorf Wildlife Museum — there is/was also a wildlife museum at Fort Rich, but it's unclear whether or not the two were merged)
- Wolf Song of Alaska
