repeated disruptive editing[edit]

User The King Of Legends seems to think Yukon has an alternate name, Territoire du Yukon, yet provides no sourcing to back this up. According to https://yukon.ca/fr/votre-gouvernement, the official web page for the Yukon government, the territory is called simply le Yukon in French. So TKOL... please revert yourself and stop edit-warring, and discuss here, as per WP:BRD. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:43, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Population Statistics[edit]

The opening paragraph states that Yukon has the smallest population of the three territories, citing the 2016 population of 35,874, however, the estimated population of YT for 2019/2020 is 41,022, which puts it ahead of Nunavut's estimated 38,873. While both estimates could be inaccurate, it suggests that YT has had greater population growth than NU in the past four years, regardless of the exact numbers.

Is it better to adopt a wait and see approach, change the statment to compare YT's place as 2nd most populated territory/2nd least populated in Canada with Whitehorse being the largest city in the territories, or would dropping any mention of YT's population from the opening paragraph would be a better option. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.238.82.195 (talk) 23:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Government now says: THE Yukon (and the people, too)[edit]

The Yukon government has officially changed their position and now calls it The Yukon (as has most of the population done all along), using the definitive article THE. However, to save money, existing texts (including websites) and signs will NOT be replaced/changed to reflect that, until these texts/signs have to be changed/replaced for some other reason.

I changed the entire lemma to reflect not only the local use of the article, which is prevalent, but also the official change in the Territorial government's use. That was a lot of work. Of course I included the link to the official government announcment as a reference.

Then someone anonymous changed it all back without taking into account the NEW development. That sucks.Ds77 (talk) 10:43, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ds77, for some context to this, please review WP:THEYUKON. Hwy43 (talk) 10:52, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
