Hello thank you for your note. As I was adding requested articles I tried to put a strike out through them and the date. I noticed that on other pages. I thought it would show progress, as the Wikiroads project was considered dormant even though it had been growing, just nothing to show changes. I have been adding the Wikiproject banner, as well as multiples if I find them, this has been quite good. I have been adding Sk or multiple banners to existing articles which were barren on the talk pages as well.SriMesh | talk 14:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Review Requested
Could you please help to create the first newsletter for WP SASK ? ... a pilot perhaps could start similar to....WP SASK Newsletter Do you have any other ideas ... it seems like other WP projects have tried to use newsletters, would it be helpful for WP SASK to also have one?.... SriMesh | talk 23:17, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Experiment
If folks who wish the newsletter not as a link, but embedded it seems like the wiggly brackets will make it show in a user page. {{ link }} instead of [[ link ]] So that should be a choice on the bottom of the newsletter... how to receive it I suppose...SriMesh | talk 17:16, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
-
- Me again :-} If any subscriber wishes to receive the newsletter it seems like the addition of the following lines on their talk pages will suffice to receive the newsletter, and the changing of month, and year for the newsletter name will change the addition of the newsletter to their talk page. See this page...Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Outreach#Delivery options for example
Full content delivery: {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Newsletter/{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} ~~~~
Link-only delivery: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Newsletter/{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}|WikiProject Saskatchewan Newsletter link]] ~~~~
[edit] Outreach
Yes...it seems like whenever I cruise around to see how other newsletters are getting along, they seem to be within the outreach area, with templates for newcomer welcome; newsletter info-subscribers, archives, delivery options; meet ups; WP Sk links, so it does seem to be a worthwhile thing. And it also seems like sith some WP areas like US roads, the reason why they almost failed a while back, is due to declining membership and non activity, so outreach seems to be viable to keep a WP alive and active. SriMesh | talk 05:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Did you want to putter away at starting a new outreach page....I have been floating away scoping out Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach Wikipedia:WikiProject Greece/Outreach and they seem to be quite helpful at giving directions about 'what's new' info as well as info for 'who's new'... Kind Regards

[edit] Category
I removed the [[Category:WikiProject Saskatchewan Newsletters|June]] from the newsletter or else is seems like the user talk pages also get added to the category if they subscribe to full content delivery .... SriMesh | talk 05:48, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Newsletter Banner
There should be a section in the newsletter to ask members / subscribers to design a new newsletter name with its own banner or font style appear ance just as Wikipedia as a whole named their newsletter the Sign post and used old english font, we should have our own Wiki Project name for the new WP Sask newsletter such as the....Star Phoenix, Leader Post, Herald, Booster, or Times Herald (which are already in use)....but something else perhaps What do you think about this new - new newsletter - article? SriMesh | talk 05:59, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
===Remove names from archives and newsletter===` Yes that is OK. I have to do a brief stint at work soon, but this is all right with me.
Do you want to add the new WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods to the newsletter, and when I return, I will let the members signed up that this rough draft is proposed for the first newsletter, so it can perhaps enlist folks for the meet up...Are you going BTW / ...I was thinking of offering rides from Saskatoon down to Craik for any Saskatoon members who are interesed, I think I do that on the meet up page. SriMesh | talk 18:41, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP SK newsletter
Hello there! I emailed Victor to see if he wanted to add the minutes of the meet up for the July newsletter edition, he took the notes, and has them on the meet up page, but would be nice to see also in the newsletter. So will wait for his reply, then shall start anew....: SriMesh | talk 04:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

- Haven't heard back from Victor, however started the July issue. Will you again help out?....Perhaps offer up the direction the Communities WP is headed and any other new items as you did so well last time. It is proposed at...WikiProject Saskatchewan Newsletter: Volume 1, Issue 2 - July 2007. Thank you. SriMesh | talk 02:11, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Collaboration Page
A collaboration page sounds also like a good idea. It seems like quite a few of the articles start at stub class, get elevated up to "B-class" and rather get stuck there. So maybe WP SK could get a few more above B and perhaps even featured which would be an honour for the province and all the members who are contributing. :-)

[edit] Delivery Robots and Wikiproject Template
Hello again. Cruising around there are 3 choices for robot delivery. The way it is set up on the subscribers page needs a delivery person to add a link or full text delivery. Full text delivery in this mode does not see changes made to the newsletter page after delivery has been inititiated.
Checking out the three delivery robots which are functioning as per WP Newsletters, there is also another option available. HermesBot can be used to tag Saskatchewan related articles with a Wikiproject Template. Would this be a good idea or produce too many articles with WP templates and no ratings?

[edit] Fall/Autumn newsletter
Talked to Delzen talk regarding his students and their contributions re wikipedia/ Saskatchewan in his information processing class, perhaps one newsletter edition could be by the students after school starts again...say September or October if Delzen thinks it would work out...SriMesh | talk 02:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
-
- Did you want to add anything more re the WP communities area? before the July newsletter is delivered? I haven't heard back from Delzen talk re the fall as of yet. I emailed User:Ultraflame to see if he wanted to add a blurb regarding the highways WP, haven't heard yet. SriMesh | talk 18:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods
[edit] New Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods
Looks awesome! Did you want to stay with just residential urban communities and rural communities RM's or also add ie.... from....{{Subdivisions of Saskatchewan}} - Census divisions, SARM divisions, First Nations, Indian reserves, provincial electoral districts, and Federal Electoral Districts. I think right now those are the main divisions on Wikipedia for Saskatchewan. The School districts are seperate, and part of another WP, and the health districts aren't online yet. Saskatchewan has to have the most different areas ever, I have both Sk Atlases put out by the U of S, and each chapter seems to outline yet another way of describing Saskatchewan regionally!?!
[edit] Featured Articles
Hello there :-) It seems like that's how it goes...Ultraflame has done an amazing job keeping the highways project alive pretty much on his own!!! It would be very cool to get a featured article, your 'feature' page offers incentive or a target to aim for. I guess a lot of work was done on Uranium City a while back when it was on the Canada WP collaboration pages to raise it to good and then it slipped back down to B. And it seems like the other SK cities have sort of stuck at B for a while here, and their talk pages have a lot of editors working on them. SriMesh | talk 01:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP SKCN Banner
I see both the talk page and the main page listed in the category, I think the project pages get the talk pages listed in categories as that is where the banner is placed, and the article with category at the bottom gets into the other type of category page. So I think your banner is working very well. I will try to place it on some articles also as I go along. Our busy season is abating somewhat at work, so I should be able to begin again online a bit more in a bit....SriMesh | talk 04:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

- Hello I tried it on Nutana, Saskatoon neighborhood, and the talk page shows up at WPSCN category articles, and this category is linked into...WPSCN category, so I think all is good to go. SriMesh | talk 02:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
