Talk:Arviat

Map?
It might be nice to have a map of the territory so you can see just where this place is? 4.130.6.32 (talk) 05:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)eric

Arviat means "Baby Bowhead Whales", when we see something, we call them. Here, we saw more than one baby bowhead whale. Different dialects can result in very close, but not the "Real" intention. Also, "Tikiraryualaaq" and "Ittaliurvik" are also the two other names, because "Tikiraryualaaq" means "Small arriving place" and "Ittaliurvik" means a place to make tents. After the tent is done, it's called "Tupiq". The process of making a tent means "Ittaliurvik". People who originated somewhere else interpreted "Arviat" I think. Otherwise, "Tikiraryualaaq" and "Ittaliurvik" would have been mentioned, as they are the real names according to the real local people here, not "Ahiarmiut" or "Sallirmiut" But "Kivasikturmiut", people who went back and forth between "Ranger Seal Lake" and "Arviat" Year after year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aupak (talk • contribs) 22:26, 11 June 2008

Arviat, Nunavut → Arviat — These communities all use one of the official aboriginal languages of the NWT or Nunavut as a name making them unique. Currently all undisambiguated names are redirects to the community. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 01:02, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Support move as consistent with WP:CANSTYLE naming conventions. One did catch my eye, Lutselk'e, which I recognize as the name of a people/band as opposed to that of a settlement. However we have no article yet on the people (assuming I'm correct), so no big deal for now, and perhaps the people and the settlement are one and the same. Franamax (talk) 03:19, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Deline, Kakisa and Lutselk'e all have governmental groups associated with the community. However, they are in the form of "Name First Nation" so it should not really be a problem as, for example, Lutselk'e would be the Lutsel K'e Dene First Nation. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 18:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not a big deal right now. I'm just saying that if/when/in the far future we have an article about the Lutselk'e people and their history, it should easily take precedence as primary target over the settlement where they finally ended up. Franamax (talk) 22:57, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Support move per CBW reasoning and WP:CANSTYLE naming conventions. --Rosiestep (talk) 06:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose move for Igloolik as the hamlet shares the namesake of its island ( Igloolik_Island ) Support move of the other moves. BaShildy (talk) 07:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Sorry I should have mentioned that, as noted at Talk:Arctic Bay, Nunavut, while some communities may have been named for associated geographic features the primary use is the community. Also, as Igloolik is a redirect to Igloolik, Nunavut it shouldn't be a problem. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 18:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If that's the convention for other communities, then I think this is fine. Changing my vote to Support move. BaShildy (talk) 21:14, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Support all - there should only be an administrative unit qualifier if disambiguation is required, which doesn't seem to be the case here. -- Ja Ga  talk 12:44, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Waters receding
The summer location for coastal Inuit, has been relocating over a period of 5-7 decades. It is due to the fact that the shoreline is receding. Scientific studies confirm what Inuit has been saying all these decades, that the seas are receding in this area. A long, long time ago, there used to be no winters. More recently like 5 generations ago, the mean winter temperature was minus 50 to 70 degrees celsius. Nowadays, it's more like minus 30 during December. One sign of nature's rapid warming. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.181.32.135 (talk) 22:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Sanikiluaq still points to Talk:Arviat "because of the move section here"
If the move section here is archived, then should the town/village pages still point here?

Or should they be updated to remove that?

Talk:Arviat There is nothing about commerce or industry
The article should include the major commerce or industry in the region, whatever that is.

Undefined ref
you "fixed" a reference by replacing it with the ref name "Arviatccn", but that name doesn't match anything on the page. Could please fix this cite error with what you meant?&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 17:13, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
