List of cities in British Columbia

Featured list candidates/List of cities in British Columbia/archive1

Nominator(s): Cos ^{(X + Z)} 20:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did some work on this list in honor of my 1 year anniversary editing Wikipedia. This is my first FL nom. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 20:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OlifanofmrTennant

The first collum, in this case "Name", should be using:

!scope=row | Foo

per MOS:DTAB example: Peter Capaldi filmography

The image is good but it needs ALT text.

Ping me if needed Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 22:51, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant I have resolved your comments. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 22:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

As mentioned above, the cells in the first column, which are the beginning of each row, need the row scopes added
There's something wrong with the population density column header that's making the cells at the top of the table very tall, I believe it's all of the <includeonly>||City</includeonly> inclusions directly until the text for population density
Everything after the regional district column should probably be right aligned instead for readability. It's currently difficult to follow the populations which vary wildly.
Why are the corporate names listing the name first? That should essentially be covered by the column to the left.
References have inconsistent date formatting
Some references missing the source of the information (who published it?)
Some sources contain wikilinks to the source while other do not, make consistent when an article is available to target
Former cities should probably be made into its own table instead of being four sentences
Percent column should include percentages next to the figures
Km column should include km² next to the figures

That's what I've got for now. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh I have resolved your comments. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 20:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CosXZ:

Refs 2, 4, 14 – Should use Government of British Columbia as the website instead
Ref 8 – Remove "| Britannica" from the reference title.
Ref 10 – Wikilink Province of British Columbia
Refs 11, 12 – Should be Province of BC, not government of it.

That's what I've got at the moment. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:03, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few comments, I still believe this is a fork of the list of municipalities, but that being said:

What makes a city "notable" as per first image?
What functions do cities carry out? Could be mentioned in the lead.
Gallery images in strange format, lack alt text (which is needed as per WP:ACCESS), and have non-descript captions. Suggest using common gallery format, adding alt-text and some informative captions.
While not necessary, it would be nice to colour code the %change as was done in the municipalities page.
Any explanation on why there are some cities below the threshold of city population but are still cities (were they grandfathered in due to losing population?)

That's it for now! Mattximus (talk) 16:09, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattximus

I have removed that image as it is useless, because it doesn't display all the cities in British Columbia.
I can't find sources for your questions "what functions do cities carry out" and "why there are some cities below the threshold of city population but are still cities"
Fixed the gallery.
I am not colour coding the %change, because I tried {{Change}} and it would break the table.

Is there any other comments that you want to put down here? Cos ^{(X + Z)} 19:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattximus? Cos ^{(X + Z)} 21:07, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still do view this as a fork of the municipalities list so I can't support, but I also won't oppose as others have differing opinions on the importance of forks. Mattximus (talk) 22:52, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. This is not a full review, and does not result in a support vote. --Pres N 15:56, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PresN this nomination has three supports. Is this list ready to promote? Cos ^{(X + Z)} 18:08, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lists are promoted when one of the coordinators that has not done a full review feels that consensus has been reached to promote and is able to get to promoting it. Please be patient. --Pres N 01:49, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok Cos ^{(X + Z)} 17:52, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

" Although the populations of Enderby, Grand Forks, Greenwood and Rossland fall below this threshold, they are still categorized as cities." - why?
Although it's not compulsory to have an image in the lead it does look unusual. Maybe consider including this image of the capital city.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:50, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude I have added your suggested image. I can't find a source that answers your question. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 21:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I guess if there's no explanation as to why these tiny places are classed as cities then you can't add it. Lost in the mists of time, I guess..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:26, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
