The first paragraph states Bethel is west of Anchorage-and Anchorage is NOT THE CAPITAL OF ALASKA
Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.
Is it really necessary to have four dense paragraphs of statistics?
According to the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, as of 2006, there were an estimated 5,960 people living in Bethel. As of the 2000 census there were 5471 people, 1,790 households, and 1,190 families residing in the city. The population density was 49/km² (125.0/mi²).

There are contradictory population estimates. Is Bethel's population 6,262, 5,960, or 5,471? molto_agitato 19:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was drawn here by the posting on WP:ANI. The town's high school burning down is more than just news; it's a part of the town's history (especially for a relatively small town like Bethel). User:Michaelh2001 was adding too much information - the detail that the library had historically important Yu'pik artifacts is notable, the fact that a gym burned down and a dormitory did not isn't really notable. But the high school burning down is definitely more notable than a hoax involving Taco Bell. So I've restored part of Michaelh2001's edits, and deleted the paragraph about the Taco Bell hoax.

A widespread practice in this community is to burn a local tree fungus to make ‘punk ash’. There are several dozen places with handmade signs advertising it for sale. It is added to chewing tobacco to intensify the nicotine buzz, and is legal. This is done in other Alaska villages. What about a mention of this? It is pretty big.
