== Carlyle, Saskatchewan & WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods Invite ==

I have seen you have made a good start to the [[Carlyle, Saskatchewan]] article. Although it is a good start, it needs to be Wikified more and organized.

Also, I am herby inviting you to join [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods|WikiProject Communities & Neighbourhoods]]. Since you have taken the intiative on starting Saskatchewan community articles it would be great to have you apart of the project. [[User:Fishhead2100|Mr. C.C.]] 08:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

== Starthoaks, Saskatchewan ==

To avoid this article being put up for deletion, I would suggest putting information on this and just the obvious like:

"Starthoaks is a small town in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan."

*The [[:Portal:Saskatchewan|Portal Saskatchewan]] peer review has produced some excellent suggestions, many of which have been enacted. Some of the portal categories should be added to Saskatchewan wikiproject such as the [[Portal|instructions]] on how to add content to a box portal concept.

*To go forward to apply for PORTAL feature status, 10 articles, 10 biogrphies, 10 images which are qualified as ''good'' or ''feature'' should be added to the portal in the various areas.

* '''{{User|Shanemcd}}''' has contributed to the organization of which placenames are town, villages, hamlets, etc by going above and beyond the call of duty. Sorting out [[List of communities in Saskatchewan]] and the various section lists have shown significant improvements. Consistency and attention to detail on the various incorporation dates, and status of the many and several communities is producing more accurate lists for visitors to wikipedia viewing Saskatchewan articles. This provides an improvement in quality on wikipedia and so a large thank you goes out to [[User:Shanemcd|Shanemcd]] at this time.

*So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else to Saskatchewan related articles, why don't you give them a reward to show your gratitude? Nominate excellent and notable Saskatchewan editors on Wikipedia who deserve attention, and honour. For every wikipedia user who is mentioned in the spotlight department, they will receive a Wikipedia Saskatchewan Ribbon on their user pages for excellent service! Every newsletter will bring an update to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Spotlight|Spotlight Department]], so please keep tuned for other excellent contributors.

I, Fishhead2100 aka Mr. C.C. have been organzing the project as of late. Moving and adding items to the appropriate pages.

As was mentioned many months ago, we want to also bring Indian reserves to the forefornt. Start those articles on Indian reserves.

There is going to be a new banner for the project, but it still on the works. Once completed it will alow for assesments via the banner.

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.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods/Assesment|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 [[Template:WikiProject Canada|Canada talk page bannerr]]. There is a [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Challenge:_assessment_lists|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 [[Template_talk:WikiProject_Canada#Wikiprojects_and_departments_of_provinces|applying the code]], and it works!! Thank you very much.

*'''Version 0.7 Saskatchewan articles'''
*:
[[Wikipedia:Release Version|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 [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/release-data/2008-9-13/HTML/ automated selection of articles for Version 0.7].

'''We would like to ask you to review the [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/release-data/2008-9-13/HTML/Saskatchewan.s0.html 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 [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/cgi-bin/problems.cgi 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 [[Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Copyediting|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 [[User:SelectionBot/0.7/S-1|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!

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. -[[User:Royalguard11|Royalguard11]]<small>([[User talk:Royalguard11|T]])</small> 18:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC) -[[Wikipedia:CANTALK#Canadian_federal_election.2C_2008|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?

*'''Use of coordinates?'''
*:*A posting from [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Canada_Roads#Use_of_coordinates.3F|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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Highway_8_(Ontario)&diff=241647731&oldid=236456643]). 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.

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.

*'''Saskatchewan articles of increase'''
*:[[Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport]] has had joint editors expanding this article significantly. New topics have been started on Saskatchewan to improve the [[Geography of Saskatchewan]] main article so it may perchance run at GA again. [[Flora of Saskatchewan|Flora]], [[Fauna of Saskatchewan|Fauna]], and [[Geology of Saskatchewan]] articles have been started. There is an article started for almost every highway listed at [[List of Saskatchewan provincial highways]]. Since the election, several electoral district articles have been updated with the current information which is fabulous and a large undertaking. The cities and towns of Saskatchewan have articles of representation. Redlinks for villages are disappearing from the [[List of communities in Saskatchewan]]. Hamlets, rural municipalities and [[List of Indian reserves in Saskatchewan|Indian reserves]], still need more help in regards to their red links. (BTW there is a discussion [[Wikipedia_talk:CANADA#First_Nations_reserves_vs._Indian_Reserves|First Nations reserves v.s. Indian reserves]] naming)

*:Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Coordinators' working group|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.

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. &mdash; <small>Delievered by <font color="green">[[User:ShepBot|'''§hepBot''']]</font>'''&nbsp;<small>(<font color="red">[[User talk:ShepBot|Disable]]</font>)'''</small> on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

*'''2009 Saskatchewan Wiki meet up'''
*:*In 2008, a [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Saskatchewan1/Craik|Wikimeetup]] was sceduled for those interested in editing Saskatchewan articles. Is there interest for a 2009 Wiki meet up? [[Craik, Saskatchewan|Craik]] was chosen as a mid-point between the two major cities, [[Saskatoon]] and [[Regina, Saskatchewan|Regina]], and it coincided with the [http://www.craikecovillage.ca/pdf/solarfair09agenda.pdf Craik Sustainable Living Project (CSLP) Solar Fair and Trade Show. June 20 and 21, 2009]. Please comment on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Saskatchewan|talk page]]. Is spring a better time for folks, or would late fall be better after harvest? Summer may crash into holidays and vacation times.

*'''Biographies'''
*:*With father's day upcoming, focus is on writing up some biographies on some notable Saskatchewan people. Please categorise these with one of the sub categories from [[:Category:People from Saskatchewan|Category:People from Saskatchewan]] and use the [[Template:WikiProject Canada|talk page banner]] and check off Saskatchewan=yes as biographies are harder to trace for inclusion than other Saskatchewan titular articles. With such categories-banners being used, the articles are more likely to be found and expanded by other Saskatchewan users. Take some time to find biographies of Saskatchewan folk on wikipedia currently and categorise-banner them as well.

*'''Saskatchewan B Class articles and Importance ratings'''
*:An opportunity to [[Wikipedia:Be bold|Be bold]] and find out what is required to raise an aritlce past B class into [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|GA]] or [[Wikipedia:Featured article criteria|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 [http://www.searchenginejournal.com/wikipedia-article-quality-assessment-and-ranking-tips-for-users-and-search-engine-engineers/6002/ 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Newsletter/20081203|Newsletter]]
*For B-class articles the pre-requisites have been posted also at a few wikiprojects for the minimums required for [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria|B-class]] before advancing on to [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|GA]]. Some wikiprojects offering B class outlines are [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/B-class FAQ|Military History FAQ]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Assessment/B-class FAQ|Ships WP FAQ]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_UK_Roads#B-class_drive|WP UK roads]] The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment/B-Class_criteria|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 [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment/A-Class_criteria|described here]].

Ensure that principals, vice principals, and current curricula and extracurricular activities are accurate for the 2009-2010 school year. Notable changes in curricula and extracurricular activities could be added to a history section. The newest education article seems to be an [[University of Saskatchewan|U of S]] article on the [[University of Saskatchewan Physical Activity Complex]]. [[List of universities in Canada]] this article was recently demoted from Featured list status. If anyone can work on this article and the new requirements to get it re-instated this would be awesome.

*:If there was a ''collaboration department'', then the [[North-West Rebellion]], and its several child articles such as its [[:category:Battles of the North-West Rebellion|battles]] and [[:category:North-West Rebellion people|people]] would be excellent articles to find references for, expand and achieve [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|GA]] or [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|FA]] status. In the words of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell who proclaimed, that "the 125th commemoration, in 2010, of the 1885 Northwest Resistance is an excellent opportunity to tell the story of the prairie [[Métis]] and First Nations peoples' struggle with Government forces and how it has shaped Canada today."<ref>{{cite web

When beginning or updating a Saskatchewan related article, ensure the use of alt tags, which will save time later when upgrading the article.

*:Regarding images generally, [[Wikipedia:Featured article criteria|FA criteria]] states that articles should have [[Wikipedia:Images|images]] that follow the [[WP:IUP|image use policy]] and other media where appropriate, with succinct [[Wikipedia:Captions|captions]], brief and useful [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images|alt text]] when feasible, and [[Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ#Licenses|acceptable copyright status]].

These detailed, and informative feature quality sections amount to 0.2% of the Saskatchewan content. It would be nice if these percentages could be reversed. Everyone's help is requested to make the drive a success.

*'''Welcome'''
*We’re excited to announce that [[User:Presidentman]] has joined [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan|WikiProject Saskatchewan]] as our Editor in Chief. Presidentman will oversee editorial content and the Saskatchewan Wikiproject community contributions on the Wikiproject newsletter. Presidentman has also successfully developed the [[User:Presidentman/potd|Picture of the Day project]] and has been active on wikipedia for close to three years in a plethora of projects enriching wikipedia with close to 3,000 contributions. The transition between our old editor and the new has been smoother than any of us could have hoped for — SriMesh wrote their last newsletter article for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Newsletter/January 2010|January, 2010]], and Presidentman started up without missing a beat for February 2010. The previous years for SriMesh, the past editor, had been richly rewarding, seeing subscriptions grow, informing interested editors of developments and changes to the Saskatchewan wikipedia community and supporting activities on the Saskatchewan Wikiproject. It is now time for me to move to new writing projects to finish, and further responsibilities which are vying for my attention. Please join me in welcoming Presidentman to the their new position! Presidentman is working on a host of new features and an updated look, which will take things to a new level. It is wonderful to have a new editor to bring in the new year! Expect great things.
