It turns out Rovaniemi is incorrect.

Its coordinates are: 66°30′N; however, the Arctic Circle coordinates are somewhere between 66°33’N-66°34’N. Therefore Rovaniemi’s latitude is outside that of the Article Circle’s.

I also double checked Kirovsk (since it didn’t appear on Wikipedia as well), but this one turned out to be correct (67°37′N, above 66°34N); so it turns out Wikipedia isn’t always correct. It’s always good to double check these things.
