DYK for Old Strathcona Branch (Edmonton Public Library)[edit]

On 21 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Old Strathcona Branch (Edmonton Public Library), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Edmonton civic leaders turned down a sizable grant from philantropist and steel magnate Andrew Carnegie while constructing the Old Strathcona Branch? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Congrats[edit]

Nice work on getting the Strathcona Library to DYK. I'm not sure I like the current title of the article, however. It's a bit wordy. I might nominate it to be moved. But again, great job. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 20:20, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-Thanks. The title used to match the other branches of the EPL library in wikipedia, however they have since changed. I agree that it is a bit wordy on its own, but it was originally meant to match the others.Ravenblacksky (talk) 16:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

April - National Contribution Month[edit]

Good day Ravenblacksky,

During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.

Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room. Beside improving articles, a goal of this participatory workshops is to initiate neophyte in the cooperative contribution of Wikipedia.

If you are interested in organizing or participating in a contribution day in your region, communicate witht he national team on the project's talk page. The exact agenda of each local event is left to the discretion of the organizer. Help is available for the organization from contributors who already organized these type of days, so don't be worried. If you have any questions or want more information, don't hesitate to contact us.

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada[edit]

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
