Something tells me that Kivgiq should be the article's title, but I'm not familiar enough to say for certain. Where's Floyd Davidson when you need him? Oh yeah, he probably became fed up years ago, judging from various talk pages.RadioKAOS (talk) 07:03, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Kivgiq (by Iñupiat people of North and Northwest Alaska) and Kevgiq (by Yup'ik people of Southwest Alaska) is the Messenger Feast (by English-speaking peoples). Floyd here! --Kmoksy (talk) 08:42, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. However, I'm sure there's at least a few of us still around who remember him from BBSes and newsgroups 20+ years ago, and therefore didn't need that link other than to provide an update on his post-Wikipedia activities. Funny, though.RadioKAOS (talk) 09:41, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
