Wikipedia launches new project!!
- There is now a Wiki for left handed viewers of wikipedia. Please help to edit our right handed articles for the new left handed wikipedia! The new format will be ready to view on April 1, 2008! Please help rotate all content on existing Saskatchewan related articles from the left side of the article to the right side of the article by 180 degrees for ease of clicking on links and handling article content for left handed viewers.
New Talk Page Banner Addition
- The Saskatchewan communities has been joined by Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian communities. Now all communities, neighbourhoods, cities, towns, villages, hamlets, rural municipalities, and any place name can have a rating within the Canada talk page banner. In this way, all articles can be rated as belonging to Canada, and any province or territory as well as any demographic can have their own rating.
- The full Canada template is located at Template:WikiProject Canada. When rating articles for Saskatchewan related content, add supporting work groups also such as: cangov, ppap, riding, canlaw, education, tvshow, music, road, sport, geography, and now community!!
Hackers have infiltrated Saskatchewan related articles
- Hackers have "hacked" into Wikipedia, and into this wikiproject site, breaking through our security. For some time now the hacker who was named ap®1L_f001$’ has been making attempts to break through our security on this site, and has now gained access and has made changes to website articles on wikipedia and wikiproject Saskatchewan articles. Please see this article for how you can help.

- New highway change for Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan adopted the International metric system in 1971, and even though school trustees would like the imperial system returned to the classrooms, there is a new change intended for Saskatchewan. The latest news to hit the province of Saskatchewan is to adapt the new traffic directionality concept that Saskatchewan drivers will undertake. As of the beginning of the month, drivers will begin driving on the left side of the road rather than the right side. Which Side Of The Road To Drive On?

Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods
See this page for new areas of discussion: talk page Communities & Neighbourhoods
Prince Albert is one of the Saskatchewan city articles which has been growing by leaps and bounds. Many communities are being created and are picked up by the new article robot. Please help to tag these and all community articles with the new assessment talk page banner at Template:WikiProject Canada. *Stub class just barely introduces the topic, much is missing.
- Start class gives a bit more knowledge but it shows one of these to expand upon a stub article;
- a particularly useful picture or graphic
- multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
- a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
- multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
- B-Class checklist
- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited.
- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies.
- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content.
- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors.
- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams.

WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods has undergone a new facelift and revamping just in time to putter away at new civic articles on the August civic holiday, the first Monday of August. Drop by and see the new colour scheme which corresponds the the provincial colours. The assessment department provides quality ratings to articles via the talk page. At the current moment the assessment department combines the communities project with the province on the Canada talk page bannerr. There is a request out to make an assessment table from the parent talk page banner or if a new banner is advised. The challenge has been met! User:CBM figured out the coding necessary! A number of various editors and administrators puttered at applying the code, and it works!! Thank you very much.

- C class assessment is the newest addition for articles which need more TLC before being assessed as B class such as citations or wiki clean up. The article is more useful than a start class article, but isn't quite as rounded as a B class article.
- A class articles will need more than one reviewer for reaching A class article criteria.

- Version 0.7 Saskatchewan articles
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

- Canadian Election 2008
-
- The election has now been called, so as with all elections we'll need to keep a close eye on the main article, party articles and candidate articles to make sure everything is conforming to policy (read: NPOV) and to watch out for likely edit wars.
Of course it will all be nothing compared to what happens on election night, October 14th, as packs of anon editors update ridings according to who won the first 1% of the vote, so mark that date on your calendar too. -Royalguard11(T) 18:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC) -Canadian Federal Election 2008

- Rural municpalities
- Individual categories for each rural municipality are being created. It would be good to gather consensus as to which articles should be tagged with an individual RM category. The places names which an RM provides rural government for should be within the individual category for the RM. However, should these areas also be added into the individual RM category: political divisions, points of interest, notable people from the RM, towns with their own urban governments which host the RM office? Add your comments.

- Use of coordinates?
-
- A posting from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canada Roads A bot is going around tagging various articles for missing coordinates. One recent tagging was on Highway 8 (Ontario) (see [2]). Given that a road will have numerous coordinates, what sort of coordinates should be defined for Canadian road articles, if any? Terminus points, perhaps control cities would be obvious candidates.

- Holiday wiki-presents
- Give out barnstars, and let each other know that what they're doing is valued.
- Create a guide to stave off burnout and to help another wikipedian expand Saskatchewan topics.
- Participate in Saskatchewan Peer reviews or Community assessments.
- Get acquainted with the characteristics of Good Articles and help a fellow member get an article to WP:GA.
- Use the Newsletter. Add a tidbit that has helped you create an article on a Saskatchewan topic such as research materials, and ideas.
- Help out another Saskatchewan editor and provide a peer review on their articles. Feedback can range from brief comments after skimming through a page to a full blown dissection of grammar, structure, and references. Either way, every bit helps. Reviewing another editor's article can help sharpen your writing skills, which in turn can improve the articles you write.
|
-
- According to the December 2007 newsletter, it is one year since Saskatchewan articles have had an assessment department which enable Saskatchewan articles to be rated for importance and quality. The Canadian banner was modified one year ago to help improve Saskatchewan content. Please help to assess via quality and importance Saskatchewan articles by using the parent Canada wikiproject template{{WikiProject Canada |class= |importance= | sk=yes }}
-
- One year ago the new article department was also established. This new articles department introduces new wikipedia editors who are interested in Saskatchewan and also helps to monitor the expansion of Saskatchewan related articles. The new article department also alerts editors to fledgling articles which may receive tags for improvement.
|
- Natural resources of Saskatchewan
-
- A request has been sent out for information regarding natural resources of Saskatchewan. Can there be an organisation of articles, categories or a list in this regards to satisfy the query?
|
- Saskatchewan Wikiproject facelift request
- There will be a Saskatchewan barnstar sent out to any editors who can provide a facelift to the Saskatchewan wikiproject over the next few weeks. There has been a large influx of material to the wikiproject since its inception, and now the material should be re-organised and re-distributed for ease of access.
|
- Maps as reliable sources
-
-
- There is a l-o-o-ong discussion on the use of maps as reliable primary or secondary sources for wikipedia articles at Regarding maps as primary sources. This has a direct influence on highways and roads articles as well as town and placename articles.

- Saskatchewan B Class articles and Importance ratings
- An opportunity to Be bold and find out what is required to raise an aritlce past B class into GA or FA. Some information is included below about how to raise an article to B-class
- This is an article written about the wikipedia assessment process Wikipedia Article Quality Assessment and Ranking Tips for Users and Search Engine Engineers.

Some wikiprojects offering B class outlines are Military History FAQ, Ships WP FAQ and WP UK roads The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
- The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
- A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

- T. Mazzei (talk · contribs) The March 2009 award is presented to T. Mazzei who upgrades and creates numerous Saskatchewan articles on a regular basis. It is good to have an editor monitoring articles, and adding wikilinks where needed. A thank you is extended for your consistent efforts.

- Saskatchewan photographs
-
- when you are traveling or looking through old pictures, if there are any of Saskatchewan roads, highways or Saskatchewan highway signs that you would wish to upload to wikimedia commons, it would be appreciated. It would be good to show our highways in various seasons as well as with various geographical terrains. Of especial import when getting involved with photographing highways are junctions, scenic points of interest, historical markers, intersections, divided highways, road crews, historical road crews, historical travel on highways, overpasses, underpasses and road signs showing concurrencies between various highways.
- Besides the above photographs, there are also these articles lacking images Wikipedia requested photographs in Saskatchewan
- If you have started an article for Saskatchewan, and wikimedia commons does not have a related Saskatchewan image, then place this code on the article's talk page below the banner for Saskatchewan {{reqphotoin|Saskatchewan}} and your request will be added to the above category.
- If you have added a request for a map, there are now locator maps for Saskatchewan available which should alleviate some of the requests added at Wikipedia requested maps in Saskatchewan For example see Saskatoon for a locator map in use.

- Coordinators and A Class Review
- Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

- Saskatchewan B Class articles and Importance ratings
- An opportunity to Be bold and find out what is required to raise an aritlce past B class into GA or FA. Some information is included below about how to raise an article to B-class
- This is an article written about the wikipedia assessment process Wikipedia Article Quality Assessment and Ranking Tips for Users and Search Engine Engineers. The video game wikiproject reviewed what enabled a topic to be classifed and ranked as important within the scope of their wikiproject and was reviewed in their Newsletter
- For B-class articles the pre-requisites have been posted also at a few wikiprojects for the minimums required for B-class before advancing on to GA. Some wikiprojects offering B class outlines are Military History FAQ, Ships WP FAQ and WP UK roads The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
- The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
- A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

. The video games wikiproject took some time to devleop what was important within the scope of their wikiproject for the importance assessment.

- TO DO
-
- Saskatchewan clean up and SK communities and are lists of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles.
- There are still articles requested at the Canada WP notice board
- Place this articles for deletion page on your watchlist to know if any Saskatchewan articles are under discussion. Likewise if there are issues with improvements for Saskatchewan check out articles to improve periodically. At the moment this article name has been changed Rural Division has been changed to Saskatchewan Rivers School Division(NPOV) and there has been discussion if placenames require the added note that it is Foo, Saskatchewan or if the article can remain as the placename name: Foo. In this regards this article which needs disambiguation has not been reduced to placename title only. Regina --> Regina, Saskatchewan
- Please welcome new editors to wikipedia who are trying their hand at writing articles, at new Saskatchewan articles
