[edit] Juneau's size in area
Juneau has an area of roughly 3100 square miles while Connecticut has an area of over 5500 square miles. Consequently, the size of Juneau is not larger than Connecticut as claimed on the page. It is, however, larger than both Delaware and Rhode Island and its size is roughly that of the two states together. 216.68.35.35 00:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Juneau, Alaska
Hello, I noticed you reverted both my edits to Juneau, Alaska's article.
Firstly, for Holland America Line motor vessels, I believe they specifically use a decapitalized abbreviation. Thus, it should read "ms" instead of "MS" (I base this off of their website). If I've gone astray please do correct me, but this seems as to be how it should be done otherwise.
Secondly, for the link to Sitka, Alaska, to be honest I don't quite know what the rationale would be linking to Sitka City and Borough, Alaska as that is a redirect to Sitka, Alaska. If you get a chance let me know what your thinking is.

- Hi. I had never seen MS, SS, HMS or any other ship prefix lower-case before. I reverted them, not because I didn't believe it was possible, but for confomity and only after consulting with Ship prefix. I thought I changed the Sitka, Alaska link to conform with the change you had previously made. I'm not sure I saw the difference in context.--Evb-wiki 15:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- ps - I also went to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships) for guidance. (Nothing directly on point.)--Evb-wiki 15:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC) pps - My mistake on the Sitka link. I had meant to conform the others to your edit.--Evb-wiki 15:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

- No worries. The page only get recently moved to Sitka, Alaska from Sitka City and Borough, Alaska, and yeah, before that I was guilty of linking to the latter!
-
- Per the Holland America ships, it seems that HAL is merely an anomaly in naming convention. Perhaps we should revert to how they do it?

The building serving as it now, as well as attempts to build something unique --where's the information? (or at least a picture) --Bobak 23:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
