- I'm told that about five hundred people showed up for the one in Homer, but there probably won't be any real press on it for a few days. KBBI and the Homer News will probably both report on it. Beeblebrox Beebletalks 00:27, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Humphreys really only seemed to want/demand a bunch of line-cites but I gave him s huge info dump about connecting/integrating related articles and updating deadlinks. I posted this on CANTALK to try to recruit help there; what touched me off was his comment that well-known history about the NWMP et al "didn't sound neutral" - but the truth very often isn't "neutral, rather damning; I think he's in the UK where ignorance of Canadian history is way too common, shamefully so considering we were their most loyal colony, though too often shrugged off because imperial interests often conflicted with North American realpolitik - the Congress of Vienna, the Paris Commune, Napoleon III and British interests in post-war Europe et al upstaged what we wanted/needed in various concerns in the so-called Great White North; our POV is necessarly at odds with yours, but the need for balanced coverage in cross-border issues/histories should be fairly obvious but unless you know the material is very hard to achieve.
During my time on Wikipedia I did my best to address this but on the one hand "life got in the way" to e.g. finish my work on this boundary dispute article, and its Oregon equivalent - but between outside life demands and my arduous struggles with a highly NPA/AGF/OR campaign to harass me for months with an upstart editor a third my age, a cabal of admins conspired to bully me, then imperiously block me, despite a strong reputation at large in Wikidom...I never bothered with ARBCOM as it was clear the same crooked games were played there and I just had no stomach for more stomping down and insults from those who haven't known about any of the material I knew about, and claiming TLDR had no interest at all in learning anything....grrr as you can tell it brings a certain gorge to my throat, but it's gotta be said as to explaining why I can't/won't "help this guy";
he may not even have the initiative to fix up the deadlinks, or read the related articles I link for him, nor watch the videos I dug out for his education. For any of you interested in early Alaska history you should find it all interesting, though will require you "think outside the box" in terms of seeing things from the CANPOV/BritPOV end of things, or realist the claim made somewhere on that talkpage that the "global" context of the title only refers to the 1897-1903 period which is complete rubbish in that the dispute begins with the first of Russia's ukases and then the RAC's attempt to block the HBC from the Stikine in the 1830s; BC's consistent view of the treaty's (in the Begg sources) was pointedly ignored by the Dominion government (Ottawa) and when Lord Alverstone came down on the American side of things, the article does mention the reaction in Toronto but the reactions in BC have yet to be added,
...likewise BC's position throughout, nor the RAC's offer to sell the territory to GB before he offered it to Seward .... Governor Douglas (of BC) had always advocated for that but he was relieved of power by Seymour and then Musgrave and Douglas' agenda was forgotten//shrugged aside... I watched a Youtube recently about "what if" Alaska had become Canadian rather than American, but the upshot of such an event might well have seen BC going its own way as a separate Dominion of the Empire and not joining Canada... our famous health plan first emerge from the immigrant settler/farmer population on the Prairies so there's no guarantee universal health care would have come about in BC or AK and you wouldn't have the Alaska Native Corporations, rather the noxious Indian Act or the systemic anti-native bias of the RCMP........
whatever it's all what-if history and not worth daydreaming about, same as us seeking redress for losses from the unfair settlement of lands seized from us way back when (skagway/Dyea. Haines and Wrangell should be BC....only Prince of Wales and Baranof and adjoining islands were meant to be Alaska; everything inland from Chatham Strait, Cross Sound and Icy Strait were meant by Begg's research on the treaties to be British; Skagway obviously was taken by a putsch by criminal elements from Seattle - heheh yeah as if, but once your president starts mouthing off about redrawing the boundary that can be seen from our side too - the easy way for you to get out of the blockade Premier Eby has threatened on the Alaska Highway is for y'all to petition the Canadian Crown for admission to the Dominion heeheehee.
I'm sorry to Alaskans for the trouble it's causing you but imagine what it's like having an orange gorilla who cheats at golf and sucks up to dictators, and his troop of baboons (Vance, Leavitt, et al.) menacing your turf and you'd be upset, too.....should be interesting if he tries to show up at the G7 in Kananaskis AB in a week or so; there's huge petitions to keep him out, and likely there'll be huge demos even in Alberta to keep the bully/felon/rapist out of our country; still Carney will have to be diplomatic though I'm pretty sure it'll be purely a fly-in/fly-out trip....I think Kananaskis might even have an airstrip big enough for Air Force One....could well be that Zelenskyy will be there too which is gonna get interesting; what Trump may say about us once he's on our soil is gonna be provocative, I'm sure.....sorry for the rant, I guess Trumpies among you may be offended, but "if your eyes offends you, pluck it out" doesn't really work if you're blind in both eyes already....sorry "I just couldn't help myself" per Jim Carrey in Mask.....2604:3D08:5776:7900:0:0:0:E596 (talk) 23:35, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
