    Curtis Joseph

    • I visited Curtis Joseph when you posted a query regarding WP banners on talk pages at Project pages. I nested some banners on the talk page of Curtis Joseph, whenever they get three or more they should fold up. Please do add the SK banner, as it will help other SK articles enormously as well! For instance, I added Curtis Joseph to Wilcox, Saskatchewan in their prominent persons section. Kind Regards, and good work on all your articles! (BTW This particular article may well soon be able to go to GA status - I left a note on its talk page. )

    Your question

    In order to keep the discussion complete, I answered your question on my talk page. Cheers. -- JamesTeterenko (talk) 02:50, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

    Regarding formatting etc from WP SK talk page

    Most tricks are learned as one goes along writing articles for the most part. As I started up and wrote an article on a new topic... I search for a category it may belong to, then I enter the category and randomly peek at some articles and their talk pages to see what other editors may have done in a similar area - get ideas for infoboxes, templates, sections, succession boxes etc. - which you seem to be doing very well at for just starting BTW. Peeking in at the better articles helps a lot too...especially FA and GA articles in the category, I am writing about. Quite often the wikiprojects will give ideas about what they like for standardization. I also like the little tips that can be found at Tip of the day. Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention or that when you need it, the query comes up, and you seek it out. I don't know if this helps or not, but you are doing very well.

    WHL player eligability

    In general we don't add junior players unless they are leaps above other players, ie they won MVP or lead the league in scoring etc. In this case since he played internationally I wouldn't nominate him for deletion myself but if you want to see the exact standards for creating hockey players a good place to check out would be WP:Hockey Notability of Players --Djsasso (talk) 21:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

    Randall Flagg

    If and when the article becomes a GA, I'd like to nominate it for an FA. If you could include the information on the commentary, that'd be great as it might help its chances of being selected.--CyberGhostface (talk) 02:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

    Thanks for adding it. Its a great addition to the page, and the more 'real world' information available the better. Hopefully someone will review the article soon and give it a GA.--CyberGhostface 02:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
    Sure, go ahead. Thanks for your help on the article, btw.--CyberGhostface 20:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

    What's New?

    The Assessment Department is new. Please help to assess via quality and importance Saskatchewan articles by using the parent Canada wikiproject template {{WikiProject Canada |class= |importance= | sk=yes }} along with the Assessment guidelines.

    See also wikiproject template for other work groups with their wikiprojects as well as provinces which can be added to the Canadian template

    The new template and assessment table worklist is produced periodically and was created by Arctic Gnome. Thank you very much! Please take a moment to send an award or other recognition

    New Template Saskatchewan

    • AT Bot requests, another very kind user has also offered to help with the transition process (Thank you also to Ρх₥α )

    The request conglomerated together the following tasks to help show the quantity / quality of Saskatchewan related articles:

    1. tag all articles in Category:Saskatchewan and all of its subcategories with {{WikiProject Canada |sk = | class=| importance=}} and if {{WikiProject Canada | class=| importance=}} already exists, then can just |sk=yes be added to the Canada template?
    2. all articles which have a Saskatchewan related stub Saskatchewan-politician-stub / Saskatchewan-stub / Saskatchewan-geo-stub to be tagged in their talk pages for wikiproject Saskatchewan and be classified as stub as such: {{WikiProject Canada |sk =yes | class=stub| importance=}}
    3. add GA or FA to to the class parameter of {{WikiProject Canada}} articles if any other template has such a parameter value on the talk page.
    4. add stub to the class parameter if a stub tag is present on the article page.
    5. Replace the old tag {{Saskatchewanproject}} with the new parent wikiproject tag: {{WikiProject Canada |sk =yes | class=| importance=}} and if {{WikiProject Canada | class=| importance=}} already exists, then can just |sk=yes be added to the Canada template?
    6. add to the class area FL for any Featured-class lists articles if any other template has such a parameter value on the talk page.
    7. add to the class area List if the Saskatchewan related item in category:Saskatchewan articles if any other template has such a parameter value on the talk page.

    Watch Arctic Gnome's assessment table worklist for progression undertaken by Ρх₥α. It is a very exciting time. Please take a moment to send an award or other recognition

    Progress Report

    Unassessed Saskatchewan Articles See this category: Unassessed Saskatchewan articles which bear the old template, and also this page Unassessed SK Articles

    Want to add a new article/image to Portal Saskatchewan? Help Page!

    What's New?:Portal:Saskatchewan has a new section! This new section gives access to complete instructions on adding articles and images directly into the portal - step by step. The Saskatchewan Portal was created via instructions in creating a box portal. Clicking the edit button on the main Saskatchewan Portal page does not help at all to add to the various sections as is usually the case with creation of wikipedia articles. The instruction page give immediate access to the transcluded pages which need to be accessed to change additions to the Saskatchewan Portal!

    If the Wikipedia Saskatchewan Project pages could talk - what would they wish for - the types of growth and changes for 2008 for Wikipedia Saskatchewan pages.

    1. Develop a bizzilion awesome articles about Saskatchewan so the WWW visitor is wowed by our province ( and survive those silly AFD tags!!! ) SriMesh | talk 02:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
    2. Add your one or several Wikiproject New Years Resolutions here!
    3. Develop quality articles. Increase the amount of good and Featured articles about Saskatchewan related content.
    4. Develop top importance articles about Saskatchewan such as those about crown corporations. the provincial government and its several departments. From the Saskatchewan wiki meeting held back on 23 June 2007 it was discussed to develop an article on Health in Saskatchewan, and to improve to feature status articles: Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Regina.
    5. The University of Saskatchewan became a good article to celebrate the 2007 anniversary of campus, and should now have a peer reveiw to continue on to becoming a feature article. The List of University of Saskatchewan alumni was developed to assist this article and help would be appreciated providing citations for each entry, and to help add to the list.

    Highway Picture Template

    • Just as there is only one image needed for upload for Saskatchewan locator maps, and then various towns can be updated upon this image. So, too there should be a highway picture template, so that the various numbered highways 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914, etc can all have their own image without needing to create a bizzilion numbered images online.

    2004 Election

    • Our 2004 Saskatchewan election has resulted in an amazing number of politician biographies coming online! This was an awesome achievement, and something to be proud of!
    • Qyd (talk · contribs) and Arctic.gnome (talk · contribs) are editors of a wide variety of Canadian related articles, and of note as of this date is the enormous amount of work they have undertaken to help amalgamate all the various provincial wikiprojects and Canadian sub projects into one umbrella assessment department. This unique assessment department means that Saskatchewan related articles can be assessed for their own provincial merit, and also belong to the Canadian wikiproject as well. It also means that editors from both Canada wikiproject and Saskatchewan wikiproject can unite in their efforts to provide banners and ratings to articles. This will result in a huge improvement in quality on wikipedia, resulting in Saskatchewan's spotlight award for Qyd (talk · contribs).

Congratulations are sent out to Qyd (talk · contribs)] and Arctic.gnome (talk · contribs) at this time.

    Welcome and Happy New Year!:

    • Just as panic begins to settle in as to what in the world the next newsletter should mention, new areas of development and growth come about. The coming year of 2008 should provide not only more Saskatchewan articles, but also more articles with higher ratings with the assistance of more editors, and a new assessment department umbrella. The highways and roads project has given a good base for development, and to strengthen the presence and notability of roads and highways and effort is being called upon to help these articles improve, now that they too are under the assessment umbrella.

    Saskatchewan Roads and Highways

    Saskatchewan Roads and Highways The WikiProject Canada Roads is undergoing an overhaul. It is aiming to produce some Good articles and Featured articles of highway content pertaining to Canada, and for the Saskatchewan Roads and Highways for Saskatchewan highways. As Saskatchewan is still a work in progress this is a challenging endeavour for as the guidelines are followed as laid out at either Highway wikiproject, they become red link farms because wikilinked articles have not been developed regarding the communities, provincial and regional parks and rural municipalities which the highways meander through. Please keep apprised of the progress, and if any Saskatchewan articles rise above stub we will list it on the main page.

    There is also discussion started about assessment and navigation boxes on the talk page. Please peek in to add any comments you may have.

    If you want to add your name as a particpant to the Canada Roads wikiproject [here]. To join the Saskatchewan Roads wikiproject sign on the main here please.

    Recently articles Saskatchewan Highway 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914 have been improved, but they need more help so they can become articles nominated as Good articles. Please help out if you are able, even to create community and rural municipality articles for these Highway articles would be an enormous help.
