Talk:Everett, Washington

Sports teams table
I think it'd look a lot better, be more intuitive and more compact if the logos and club names were in the header, and the data rows below that. Right now the table layout makes more sense for a computerized database rather than human-readable information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.137.223.153 (talk) 20:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

October 2015 Comment: Washington Stealth relocated to Langley, BC, Canada in mid-2014 and changed name to the Vancouver Stealth; Puget Sound Gunners relocated to Issaquah, WA, so they're no longer associated in any significant way with Everett, WA. Recommend deleting them or making a "former sports teams" table which could include the former Arena Football League team, etc.

Everett's sister cities
I find no evidence that "Kligo,Ireland", purportedly a sister city of Everett, even exists. The US embassy in Dublin web page on sister cities lists neither Everett nor Kligo. The city of Sligo, Ireland, (nearest I can come to it) has Tallahassee, Florida as a sister city. The 87-page Atlas of Ireland published by the Ordinance Survey of Ireland doesn't have a Kligo in its Gazetteer.... So I hafta figure that somewhere this bad penny of information has got sucked into wikipedia and mestastisized throughout all the faux wikis and ad-driven information sources on the internet as gospel truth. So I recommend that "Kligo" be taken off entirely, unless someone can demonstrate there actually is a Kligo. Breffni Whelan 04:55, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a tough one. The source given for that page ought to be reliable, but I agree, I can't find any other reference to a Kligo in Ireland.  I've emailed the Lt Governor's office to see if they are aware of a potential error on their site. &mdash; Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 06:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Protection still needed?
This article has been protected since the end of August. Do we think the protection is still needed? I came here to add some dab links, as I did at SS City of Everett, a recently created article about a ship built in, and named after, this city. I propose that the article get the following dabs:

Comments? If there are no comments within a few days about why this still needs protecting, I'll probably remove the protection. ++Lar: t/c 01:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)


 * A vandal was hitting Everett High School (Washington) and related articles and has since moved to talk pages. I don't have a problem with unprotecting, per se. But if this starts again, then an abuse report is in order.--chaser - t 03:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Neighborhoods
i think that i want to do the neighborhoods. since im from everett, i could get pictures. make pages for all the neighborhood and link them so you can click on the name and it brings u to the neighborhood page. seattle has this with that page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CallOfAndrew (talk • contribs) 19:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Before creating such articles, make certain that you have reliable sources about those neighborhoods that can establish their notability to justify their having their own articles.
 * If you look at the Seattle article, you'll notice that those neighborhoods that do have articles have several reliable sources attached as references to support them. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:27, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of neighborhoods, the images in the article seem awfully heavily focused on downtown. Someone might want to look through some of what I've made available on Commons: I've taken a lot of pictures elsewhere in Everett. - Jmabel | Talk 08:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

do you happen to have a picture of hewitt ave thats my favorite area. just not the taco del mar pic of hewitt ave thats already here. or any pics of uss abe lincoln? i can get some pics of Everett but that would be in the summer. any requests? just mostly the north Everett. but Jmabel, people barely know what south Everett looks like, put some of those on here. oh, and i dont really know how to put pictures on here. is there a tutorial for that, if so can u make a link for me. but if there isnt can someone just teach me. tyvm CallMeAndrew (talk) 02:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Correction to the size (or ranking) of the Everett Marina
Please change second-largest to largest

The city of Everett's Marina is no longer the second-largest on the West Coast, but rather the LARGEST, due to recent marina addition. At the port of Everett Website, they confirm this: http://www.portofeverett.com/home/index.asp?page=2

 * wow, thats pretty awsome, i would edit it for u and put in the reference but someone made Everett protected. thats sucks. Fix? CallMeAndrew (talk) 05:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

History
The history section here is pretty meager. From what I understand, the history of Everett is pretty well documented, though I haven't read much of it myself. I'm told that the public library there has a really good set of documents on city history, if there is a Wikipedian living there.

There is almost nothing in the article on economic rise and partial fall as a mill town, evolution of the demographics, how the Boeing plant ended up there, or even about most of the notable historic districts (the name "Rucker" appears only once in the article, and that's for the address of a high school).

I'm (much) more focused on Seattle, but if someone wants to work on this seriously and has any particular areas where they need to find citations for something in particular, do feel free to ask my help. - Jmabel | Talk 06:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sketching out a short article on the Rucker brothers, which I hope to add soon. When I do, I can add a line here to link to it. I do live near Everett, but I'm really only interested in the early history, and that's not what's lacking in the article here. Iglew (talk) 19:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)


 * My Rucker Brothers article is up now. When I came here to link to it, I found that it wasn't easy to slip in a reference without rewriting the first few paragraphs of the history section, which I did. One result of that is that it's even more lopsided toward early history than before. Someone needs to fill in with some more post-1900 history. Iglew (talk) 05:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Removed apparant vandalism
I removed a bit from the Arts subsection referring to a supposed arts festival honoring Joe Baucco. There is no mention of such a festival (or even of such an individual) on the city's website, the city's Arts Council's website, or in the archives of the Everett Herald. In addition, the person who added it has only vandalisms as his/her only contributions. So I'm certain this is yet another vandalism. -- H-ko (Talk) 18:17, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

city list link "far too long"
List of cities and towns in Washington is a long title, and "seventh-largest city in Washington state" is a better link text for it than "second-largest", which does not describe it at all. WP:SURPRISE. If it does need to be shortened, moving "second-largest" outside of the link would be a better option. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:38, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Additionally, even if the link were "too long", that's not a particularly good rationale for the other changes being reverted; all of those appear to be correct and constructive. Nikkimaria (talk) 11:59, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please AGF on an article that has been massively improved in the past few weeks. You have not adequately explained why the convert changes are necessary, nor why we need to have a six-word pipe link when the three-word version is just fine and conforms with normal use. Nor has the removal of so-called "pointless filler" been adequately explained in this conflict.  Sounder Bruce  05:33, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Architecture and listed buildings
This a great article, very well researched but I was looking for an overview of the city's landmarks like museums, churches, monuments etc and couldn't see it. The lead should also highlight the most important landmarks. The history section is proportionally too long and detailed for an overview, consider, moving it to History of Everett, Washington and condensing it here.† Encyclopædius  03:30, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , some of that content should be covered in a separate Downtown Everett article or an expanded Hewitt Avenue Historic District, as it would not be representative of the whole city. I'll look into splitting off the history section, but I would rather have the full history explained here.  Sounder Bruce  03:43, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

I think this article should have an overview of the most notable landmarks and architecture too though, it's comprehensive other than that. Excellent work.† Encyclopædius  03:50, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Possibly better picture
The article currently uses File:Port Gardner Bay, Everett, ca 1905 (CURTIS 70).jpeg; I think File:Everett waterfront from Rucker Hill, ca. 1910 - DPLA - f2673f3ac45cde1ccd800315b9e92495.jpg (possibly either cropped or at a larger size) might be a better choice. High resolution and provides a very good overview of the city at that time.

Sources for name in infobox and rest of article not aligned
I'm not sure how to fix this or I would do it myself. The sources for the Lushootseed name area the same in the infobox and the rest of the article, but they are separate references, not just instances of the same article. If someone could fix that that would be great. PersusjCP (talk) 20:25, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The citations need to have the same reference name; also please do not leave citations with their default names (such as ":0"), which are hard to read and track. Citations should also follow the norms established by the article and other policies; in this case, MDY formatting and CS1 templates.  Sounder Bruce  04:04, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Native language of Everett
Lushootseed is the native language of the Everett area. A place's native language is closely associated with that place. It has been in use for thousands of years and continues to be used in the community. It is not just a random language. Like any other article, the native language translation can appear in the lead. @Magnolia677 PersusjCP (talk) 22:08, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * While I agree that the Lushootseed name belongs in the article, I'm not seeing a strong reason to include it in the infobox and lead; Lushootseed is not an official language of the city, county, or state, nor does the name get used widely by these governments or secondary sources like The Herald. Maybe (and hopefully) this will change in the future, but as Wikipedia is a reflection of the sources we have on hand, we should not be making the call ourselves.  Sounder Bruce  04:07, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with User:SounderBruce, per MOS:FIRST and MOS:LEADLANG. --Magnolia677 (talk) 14:36, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

"unrelated" areas like the port gardner peninsula
@Magnolia677 How is the prehistory of Everett unrelated to Everett? Do you know where Everett is? It is on the Port Gardner Peninsula, in fact, it takes up the entire Port Gardner peninsula. History doesn't begin with the founding of a city. History begins thousands of years before. Trying to erase history doesn't change the objective facts PersusjCP (talk) 16:14, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
