Smith Lake (Fairbanks, Alaska) → Smith Lake (University of Alaska Fairbanks) – Clarification, basically. "Fairbanks, Alaska" is understood in a certain context to refer to the city of Fairbanks, even though others understand it to be the area covered by certain 997XX ZIP codes. The lake is not within the city limits of Fairbanks, but it is located on UAF. RadioKAOS –&#32; Talk to me, Billy  02:38, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * To elaborate, the U.S. Census Bureau offers population data in alternate formats: along city/CDP lines, or along ZIP code market lines. The lake is only located in Fairbanks if you go by the latter, in which the surrounding area is located in the 99709 ZIP code.  Otherwise, the lake is actually located in College.  It sits on the western end of the CDP, or the opposite end of the CDP from its boundary with the city of Fairbanks.  Three adjacent CDPs (Chena Ridge, Ester and Goldstream) lie within a mile of the lake;  all of these CDPs are also part of Fairbanks if you go by ZIP code boundaries.  Hope that clears things up if you were confused as to the rationale. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  03:23, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
