[edit] changes
hi. i moved some information about the city of Comox to Comox, British Columbia as this article should be about the Comox people (who still exist in the present & still speak the Comox language). dont worry, i will be writing something soon (about their language). peace — ishwar (SPEAK) 05:28, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
[edit] disambig?
What should I do about the various Comox electoral districts? fed/prov older ridings simply named Comox, there's Comox-Alberni, Comox-Atlin and Comox-something else too. Normally I would venture to rewrit this as a disambig page, with the first nations language just a link; should I maybe instead (rather than relink everything sent here) the line about Comox, BC (town) and make that a link to a new disambig page. Or could maybe what's on this page be put on a Komox page (with an accent on one of those o's I believe?)
Please see my revisions to Lillooet, which had originally directed only to the St'at'imc people/language and get back to me. I'll move on to other ridings in the meantime.Skookum1 05:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Here's the disambig information needed once that is decided
- Comox, British Columbia, a town on Vancouver Island
- Comox Valley - the environs of Comox and neighbouring Courtenay and Cumberland
- the Island Comox people
- the Mainland Comox people, also known as the Sliammon or Homalhko
- the Comox people; I suggest here that the formal latinization now in place - komox with accents and I think a plosive mark on the x (?), be used for the Comox language; and as for example in the case of the Sliammon that is their name for themselves; but their language is Comox.
Comox language = will be a redirect to Komox however spelled
Comox is also part of the name of various British Columbian provincial and Canadian federal electoral districts:
- Comox, provincial electoral district 1871-1986
- Comox Valley, provincial electoral district since 1991
- Comox-Atlin, federal electoral district 1903-1914
- Comox-Alberni, federal electoral district 1914-1976, 1987-1996
- Comox-Powell River, federal electoral district 1976-1987
- All these names derive from the Chinook Jargon word for "dog", kamuks
