Name of this article vs Liard River

Note: by Wiki naming conventions, this article is appropriately about the community named Liard River. The article on the river should be (and probably is) titled Liard River - if there was more than one Liard River, it would be Liard River (Canada), for example, but there's no need; just as a point of ref for other authors where the name of the town or other feature is also the name of a river (or lake).Skookum1 22:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First Nations name?

Notice this in the current text: "Peace Liard Indian tribes". The precise name used by these people should be used here; I'll check it myself but in case the author of this article as it stands is watching, please put in the appropriate ethnographical name, and also any band/nation government name, and some sense of which language etc.Skookum1 22:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

same as Liard River Hot Springs?

I know there's a separate article on the provincial park; but is this Liard River community right AT the hot springs, or down the road, or what? The hot springs themselves theoretically could have a different article than the provincial park, i.e. a geological one and the history of discovery as given here; if the town and the springs are far apart all that's needed in this article is a ref to any article on the springs, once it's written.Skookum1 22:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The community (actually a restaurant+motel+gas station) is located right on the Alaska Highway, while the hotsprings are a short distance in the bush (the parking lot), then the actual pools farther away across the boardwalk. --Qyd (talk) 19:22, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
