Cohonina

[edit]

I filled in Cohonina, but I don't know if there is an infobox for them. S.G.(GH) ping! 09:25, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I'm surprised that there is no article on Havasu Village; I believe there is abundant information about it (for example, IIRC it was the subject of a National Geographic article), & Rambot was quite exhaustive in creating articles on every inhabited place in the US back in the day. Doing a little digging, I did find Supai, Arizona which appears to be another name for this settlement. Are they identical, or are they two different settlements mainly inhabited by Native Americans? -- llywrch (talk) 05:14, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Featured article review

[edit]

This article is currently the oldest FA promotion listed at Wikipedia:Unreviewed featured articles and might be due for a review. I note that there is a recently introduced section tagged for citation and there are other statements, using potential weasel words or quoting statistics, that should preferably be cited. These are:

  1. "The Havasupai and Hualapai are descended from the Cerbat and still live in the immediate area. The village of Supai in the western part of the current park has been occupied for centuries."
  2. "The group was led by Hopi guides and, assuming they took the most likely route, must have reached the canyon at the South Rim, probably between today's Desert View and Moran Point."
  3. "His report of an impassable barrier forestalled further visitation to the area for two hundred years."
  4. "although there is little supporting documentation."
  5. "that group successfully ran most of the canyon"
  6. "Both the Powell and Dutton expeditions helped to increase interest in the canyon and surrounding region"
  7. "Competition with the automobile forced the Santa Fe Railroad to cease operation of the Grand Canyon Railway in 1968 (only three passengers were on the last run). The railway was restored and service reintroduced in 1989, and it has since carried hundreds of passengers a day. Trains remained the preferred way to travel to the canyon until they were surpassed by the auto in the 1930s. By the early 1990s more than a million automobiles per year visited the park."
  8. "only to sell it nine years later in order to start a long career as a Grand Canyon guide"
  9. "The tourist flights over the canyon have also created a noise problem, so the number of flights over the park has been restricted."

Does anyone have potential sources? Or should some of this material be cut? DrKiernan (talk) 20:04, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
