Talk:Kent, British Columbia

Kent -> Agassiz

Jaybrit recently changed several "Kent" references to "Agassiz", saying "Agassiz is our town's name not Kent. Agassiz is in the District of Kent but it is not known as Kent it is known as Agassiz." I have reverted the changes pending a search for more information. From what I can tell from the area's website, the local government refers to the area as "Kent". (It is possible that Jaybrit is interpreting the article's subject to be the community of Agassiz, as opposed to the overall district municipality.) --Ckatz^chat_spy 18:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:COA-BC-Large.jpg

Image:COA-BC-Large.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Area and density can't be right

I don't know where the figures for area, and consequently for density, came from:

Area

- Total 13.96 km2 (5.4 sq mi) Elevation 80 m (262 ft) Population (2006) - Total 4,738

- Density 435.32/km2 (1,127.5/sq mi)

Kent extends from the Harrison River to Ruby Creek, well over 25 klicks if not more, and it's not all that narrow. The area given sounds more like Kent Prairie and Agassiz only....I tried looking on the district's website but there's no area data; but a glance at the map tells you there's well over 5.4 square miles to this municipality.....where'd those figures come from anyway? How old?Skookum1 (talk) 06:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

The area and density are wrong on this article. Per the 2006 census, Kent's area is 166.51 km² and density is 28.5 people/km². Hwy43 (talk) 15:01, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks....I note the elevation must be that of Kent Prairie, but elevations in this district reach well over 1000m, shouldn't that be a "range" rather than a specified elevation? The same would apply for elsewhere I guess; Vancouver from 0m to whatevr the height of land out between Dunbar and Kerrisale is (which is the height of land within the CoV). I guess what's called for is only base elevations, but it seems odd to me to give a low elevation for somewhere that's overall quite mountainous (when not board-flat).Skookum1 (talk) 18:50, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I've yet to come across a single sourced elevation within articles on Canadian communities. It must come from some source, and I'd like to know to validate the elevations of several communities. Presumably the elevation of this article is from one specific point within the municipality, likely an airport, weather station, or locality/unincorporated community.

Thanks for fixing the area and density. Please add a reference using the link I provided above so that the figures don't get changed back or changed to something else in the future. Hwy43 (talk) 19:47, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
