[edit] Categories

Hello. When people are listed in categories, they are typically listed under their last name, not their given name. To accomplish this, when adding a category, for example, Category:XYZ, to an article, for example, "John Smith", add Category:XYZ|Smith, John rather than simply Category:XYZ. This means that John Smith will be listed under "S" rather than "J" in the category. Thanks. McPhail 13:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm just going by the Wikipedia guidelines, which state that "sorting by last name is preferable". This is the approved means of categorisation within Wikipedia. You aren't obliged to follow this guideline, though. Thanks. McPhail 18:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

It is considered vandalism to remove other people's comments from this page. I already pointed this out to you. Please stop doing this. --Yamla 21:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

My apologies. I see you are moving them to the archive. Please ignore my comments above. --Yamla 21:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Top 99 of...

I'm sorry but I can't undelete an article that has gone through the Articles for Deletion process. It was listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Top 99 of... on June 20 and you can see the results. Three is no requirement that article creators be notified when one of their articles are up for deletion; you need to make sure the article is on your watchlist and keep an eye out for these things. If you really want to challenge the deletion (incidentally I would have voted for deletion as well), you can state your case at Wikipedia:Deletion review. 23skidoo 21:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lumiere - copyvio

[edit] Please don't add copyrighted text to Wikipedia

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your creation of the article, Lumière, but we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage. If your new article is appropriate, and not a further copyright violation, the reviewing administrator will move that new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved. Happy editing! Baseball,Baby! take a swing 17:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message (and for not biting my head off!). Don't worry too much about the template message above - sometimes they can be pretty cold and harsh, but the powers that be want us to follow their procedure. (Somebody really ought to rewrite these messages. Have you ever seen the big page-blanking message? It scares me just to look at it. Paste {{copyvio | url=insert URL here}} into a message and see what happens, but don't forget to take it out. Eek.)
I understand that the entire article isn't from copyrighted text, but parts are and that's not allowed. If I hadn't tagged it, someone else would have and they quite possibly would have blanked the page in the interim with that huge, page-blanking, monster copyvio template. The copyright owner could - might not, but could - sue the Foundation for copyright infringement. The rules against copyright infringement are set in stone. This way, your page stays as it is while an admin sorts it out. If you have permission to use that text, you need to say so pretty quickly using the method on the copyright problems page – on a Google search for "In French, Lumière means light, in its purest, most transcendent form" the book pops up as the first 4 results. Amazon.com's sales page for the book has the text and it's the top result for me. Happy editing - Baseball,Baby! take a swing 13:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sara's Secrets

Thats fine, I marked it for deletion because it looked like a vanity article or even something made up, since it only had two lines and bad spelling like you said. Now it is expanded and tidied and is much better, clearly it is a real show and I sorry if I trod on any toes. Keep up the good work--Jackyd101 17:19, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting categories

Sorry for the delay in replying but I've been away. Regarding your request re:deleting the category Category:Treehouse TV shows, I can't do that on my own. If I created the category myself that would be a different matter. If you created the category and cannot delete it yourself then it needs to be listed at Wikipedia:Categories for Deletion. Hope this helps. 23skidoo 00:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category duplication

We're not supposed to duplicate categories on Wikipedia. Category:Canadian rock guitarists is already a subcategory of Category:Rock guitarists, so we're not supposed to file people in both categories simultaneously. Bearcat 14:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, the thing to do, then, is to take the non-Canadian duplicate entries out of the parent category, not to add more duplicate entries into it. Bearcat 22:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Can you point me in the right direction for a "How To" or "Getting Started" guide to starting categories. Thanks!--Gephart 20:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Boy Meets Grill

I've deProdded Boy Meets Grill and explained my reasoning on Talk:Boy Meets Grill. -- Whpq 20:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Purvis

I added no content whatsoever to that article. My only changes were minor fixes to the text. Why don't you talk to the person who actually wrote the article? Everyking 03:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I think you meant to direct your comments to User:142.167.243.107 [1]. An understandable error on their part, so long they don't make a habit of it, and an understandable error on your part as well. Nonetheless, I think you owe Everyking an apology. Regards, Ben Aveling 04:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Template:Infobox Professional wrestling announcers

Template:Infobox Professional wrestling announcers has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. Lid 07:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Simpsons Teletoon

The Simpsons is currently on Comedy Network up in Canada, not teletoon - I can't remember it ever being on Teletoon in the last, but if I'm wrong, please revert my The Simpsons edit (and if possible mention in the edit comment when it was on teletoon?) Thanks. TheHYPO 09:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, no problem - I don't personally remember them being on teletoon and thought you might have confused it with Family Guy or another show which was on one network and then switched. TheHYPO 02:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Rob Feenie copyvio

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Rob Feenie article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! 71.192.136.148 05:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC) MPW

Probably from around the same time as the Lumiere page. Please edit this page. I am sorry but I also put a copyright violation on the Lumiere page, it has been several months since you were notified but I think the changes were not extensive enough to count as writing it on your own.

[edit] Re: Reverting on CBC page

By taking away the list of past personalities from that article, you are causing data loss and suppressing insight. Please keep that list there, using the category link as a "see also". -- Denelson83 15:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

A category is not to be used as a substitute for a list. If you want to get the names off the main article, you can try creating a separate list at List of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation personalities and see how that flies. You cannot, however, simply link to the category as if it were a list; for one thing, it's impossible for the category to include redlinks, and for another, a category is not simply a cached page on the server; the server has to actually generate the category each individual time it's called up, which generates far greater server load than is warranted. Bearcat 04:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the comment! I just read today. ;) ~~~~ Kassie 13:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

List of Corner Gas episodes already exists as requested on the Corner Gas discussion... there is a link to it on the Corner Gas article. Jazznutuva 07:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Collaboration Page

Today I will putter at a collaboration page, see how it goes... I will have to do a bit more research to get going on it. SriMesh | talk 17:31, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I think it is started...Wikipedia:Saskatchewan collaboration what do you think? SriMesh | talk 02:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments about the collaboration page. We'll see how it goes...the Canada nationwide collaboration page collapsed, but it was saved online for ideas anyways. We'll see how this provincial one does...It would be cool to see an article worked on in a collaborative way and rise through the ranks quickly, as I have noticed that the various SK editors, each contribute in a different way which is unique, and fills in articles lovely. SriMesh | talk 00:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] SKCN newsletter

The main page newsletter is handy, it is like some WP announcements. It is a nice quick way to show improvements, changes, and growth since a user's last visit to the project, and rather gives direction as well. Good idea. I think even if there are no subscribers to the WP Sask newsletter, I will still update it here and there for the same reason, to show updates, and changes to the project.SriMesh | talk 00:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meet Up

I looked at map quest, and Craik and Saskatoon are this far apart... Total Est. Time: 1 hour, 34 minutes Total Est. Distance: 90.25 miles The meet up is over lunch at Saturday, June 23 at noon 12:00. I am not sure what time frame to surmise about the actual meetup and the discussion - there isn't an agenda online yet - there is so much developed lately and potential as well. So leave Saskatoon at about 10 a.m. Saturday as I don't know exactly where the eco-centre is to get there by 12:00. ... and arrive back in Saskatoon...before supper I would say for sure. Delzen was proposing 6-8 the night before - a couple of hours, so a couple of hours on Saturday would be what... 12 to 2 o'çlock ish ... and then 1-1/2 hours home would make it 3:30 - 4:00 p.m. arrival at Saskatoon - and if it went 12 to 3, then the arrival would be 4:30 - 5 p.m. arrival at Saskatoon. There is only one meetup where they said the time was 1:00-4:00... Anyways it is cool to catch a ride if you do decide you have the time avail. I am not sure what hour your evening shift begins, if this time frame would get you back in time for it. If you want to phone - email me. SriMesh | talk 01:01, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Central Business District (Downtown), Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

A tag has been placed on Central Business District (Downtown), Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 06:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Why would I want to expand an article about a subject I know nothing about? If you merely posted this as a stub wanting more information, please add the appropriate stub category. If this article is merely incomplete, put an {{underconstruction}} tag at the top. Realkyhick 06:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I tried to scoop you a bit more info, for your article.  :-) I am not a Prince Albertan, but I hope it is helpful so that you remain untouched from the CSD people. SriMesh | talk 05:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bethune, Saskatchewan

I noticed the article of Bethune, Saskatchewan was deleted. I am courious as to why it was deleted. If it notability, than that is an invalid reason as it would a long time to determine which articles on cities, villages, towns, hamlets, etc. are notable. Mr. C.C. 06:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The article was deleted because the contents were complete and total nonsense. If you can write a good article on the community, then feel free to do so. --Carnildo 06:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, you could have put a clean up tag on the article instead of deleting it. But what's done is done. Mr. C.C. 06:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
There was nothing there to clean up. Once you remove the made-up statistics, the nonsense, and the defamatory statements, you're left with the sentence "Bethune is in Saskatchewan". --Carnildo 06:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] August Newsletter

Now that July's newsletter is hot off the press, the proposed third edition (blank template awaiting / inviting updates) Volume 1 Issue 3 August 2007 newsletter. I thought maybe give this a try to see if it gets filled in over the next while, instead of doing it all in one go around .... then if you / others would like to add another article or two / another update for the August newsletter, that would be cool! (Thanks)SriMesh | talk 05:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bam

No, you didn't give any support as to why it was significant, which is your responsibility as the editor adding the content. Please read WP:V. Thanks, Deiz talk 06:06, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, forums / fan postings do not qualify as reliable sources.. please check out WP:RS, in particular: "Reliable sources are authors or publications regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand. Reliable publications are those with an established structure for fact-checking and editorial oversight" Deiz talk 07:06, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
It would appear the main article for JAPW currently has a few problems of its own. Articles like this should comply with WP:CORP. This should be your primary focus before creating categories etc. Deiz talk 08:13, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
I note it was kept, although the discussion was closed by a non-admin (who mysteriously retired from Wikipedia soon after), and those who voted were apparently all interested in wrestling. I'd venture that an admin or more experienced closer would have taken slightly more account of the fact that the article was unsourced, and the voters failed to address this.. I'm not pushing for the article to be deleted as it seems a decent promotion, but the sourcing concerns are pretty clear. Hopefully there are some independent reliable sources which reference the promotion, as their own website and forums can help provide information but not establish notability. I have to say that from what I've seen I'm satisfied with my original opinion that without a solid, reliably sourced reference this does not appear to be a terribly significant event in the career of Bam Margera, the projects listed on his WP article such as Jackass, Viva la Bam etc are all major movies, MTV shows etc. that he created or was a major player in. He makes appearances at skating events, store openings, music events etc. in front of a few thousand fans several times a month. On the other hand, the appearance may well have been a fairly big draw for JAPW, hence an appropriately referenced mention could be probably be made on the JAPW article. Deiz talk 08:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rosetown, Saskatchewan

Hello there! I agree with you. The Rosetown article proper would very much benefit from the additional section. I don't think the article on the history will grow to reach feature status with enough information. Did you wish to do the merger? SriMesh | talk 21:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know where to find a citation for the statement It had one of the largest population increases of any town in Canada between 1921 and 1931. from the same article. SriMesh | talk 23:46, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wikibox on After Midnight's Talk Page

Hi Mr C.C - Just thought I would let you know something...you left a message on one of the admins talk pages, User_talk:After Midnight - you encased the message in a wikibox, on which you used the <div> tag. You forgot to close the div, which you must do or all subsequent entries become part of the box!!! :) When you finish, use </div> to shut the code... Not being fussy, just letting you know for future ref. Regards, Thor Malmjursson 10:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. I added Wikiproject Communities and Neighbourhoods to the welcome template...Just use the syntax in the grey box at Outreach, and you will be good to go.

[edit] An Invite to join Saskatchewan WikiProject

Hi, you are graciously extended an invitation to join the Saskatchewan WikiProject! The Saskatchewan WikiProject is a fairly new WikiProject. We are a group of editors who are dedicated to creating, revising, and expanding articles, lists, categories, and Wikiprojects, to do with anything Saskatchewan.

As you have shown an interest in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan we thought you might like to take an interest in this growing WikiProject.
Please assist with any ongoing requests
You might like to take an extra interest in our To Do list
Another project dedicated to Saskatchewan is the Saskatchewan Roads and Highways Wikiproject
Also, a descendant project for Saskatchewan is the WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods
We look forward to welcoming you to the project! SriMesh | talk 18:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello - reply on several Saskatchewan topics

  • Invitiation Template

You did an awesome job on the invitation template...I try to use it every time I add a wp banner and rating...I just thought it would be cool to add the WP communities to it as well, I think you must have done the template before the WP...It is cool to peek into the other WPs to see how they are making out such as ....WikiProject Novels

The template is good, I just popped in WP comunities as an add in, I didn't find the WikiProject Novels template yet. SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

The Bethune, Saskatchewan article has no categories on the main page of the article. What categories do you suggest?...Did add some statistics to this article, you added quite a lot considering what it had on it.

  • For sections I usually try to add for towns and villages if at all possible....Info box, Introduction paragraph, history naming from the books published about SK names, law and government, geography like nearby parks or regional hills, rivers, lakes, Transportation old and new, Sites of Interest, education, Demographics, Notable peoples, map, image, sports, economics, media, published works like 1981 local history family biography books, area statisics, location in a chart thingie north south east west communities, See also area of wiki links and what links here where I also add WPs, and related lists, external links, references using template, categories, related Sk community templates, sister links and thats about it for sections. SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I have spent a little time here when I had web pages open for Bethune, sometimes the main source pages that I use like national archives and becquet maps and sask gen web give info for more than one place at a time... However, please also put it up for adoption in the Adopt-An-Article departmant of WP:SKCN the more editors which focus on an article, the more it grows.

Hello again...I hope you don't mind,... but is it ok if I ask you to do this... Could you pop back to St. Louis, Saskatchewan and place into the text your sources directly where you made your refernce to another article. A short cut way is just to type
    • <ref>[http:www Title of WWW URL as given at top of browser] URL accessed today's date</ref>.

A formal way which is needed for feature status is on...Wikipedia:Citation templates wherein you would then type instead...

    • <Ref>{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | title =Title of WWW URL as given at top of browser REQUIRED | work = | publisher = | date = | url =http:www REQUIRED | format = | doi = | accessdate = }}</ref>

and fill in the appropriate fields {any not filled in won't show up}..the only two fields which are required are URL and title. Then this way of citing sources will give a little superscript number in the text...and if you have a section named....References or notes, the only thing that needs to be in that section is this code...<div class="references-small"><references/></div> and the formal bibliographic style of citation will magically auto number and appear nicely referenced down below for you. I hope you don't mind this note.SriMesh | talk 23:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello me again. Should the article St. Louis Light be merged into the main article St. Louis, Saskatchewan? SriMesh | talk 23:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Reply...Mayor name was taken from Municipal Directory System that would be the place I used as a source. Don't know other than that.
St. Louis Light seems to have a tag on it...so it may not survive much longer. Perhaps if it got added into St. Louis, Saskatchewan, the info would still be available at wikipedia.SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Saskatchewan Portal

This would be an awesome idea for the August newsletter. I too have been having it roam around in my thoughts. The portals seem to be an awesome way to show the WWW and wiki editors the development of the area, and bring attention to the successes so far. It would be awesome now that more Sk folk are getting together, and more editors are grouping together to add articles in their strengths. Thought of also User talk:Royalguard11 in this respect, as they had made a note that they had also thoughts of starting up the WP SK project.

Yes I hope this gets some feedback, I also agree it would be an awesome benefit.SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • August Newsletter

Speaking of which I suppose it is time to start to put articles together here as well for another delivery.

Thank you for adding any articles / new items you can. Should also find a robot to help find newly created articles which mention Saskatchewan in them to make sure they get entered into the newsletter... Have added roads and highways direction from ultraflame. Have tried to contact Victor re the meet up result progress, to see if he likes how that is worded thus far, as I put his name on it, as he was the recording secretary at the meet up.SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

From the July newsletter, some articles were suggested that may help Saskatchewan. This article has been begun Sports in Saskatchewan, and....I notice that you have an interest in wrestling  ;-) ...can you improve this section, or any of the rest of the article,... please and thanks.

If you can expand the wrestling area it would be awesome, so far all that is in the 'martial arts' type section is boxing I believe which does not fairly represent them all :-( If you know enough about wrestling to have the section not be lumped together, by all means make a new and separate wrestling section, it is awesome how much SK is growing in the sports arena, and such. SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Saskatchewan articles

Have been adding more to the U of S article, but it is so ginormous, that everything starts a new main article which expands from the U of S section...so now there is on wikipedia more about the U of s such as the academics and alumni. It is so hard to just tweak the main article, without starting another article anew on another tangent. So besides having the U of S article at ACID I have started to place it at other areas of wikipedia for advice for direction of improvement. I also tried the reward board...I made an article for Jainism...and see if they will do a SK one now...should be interesting to see how this works. Maybe I should also post a reward board notice thingie for WP SK. SriMesh | talk 21:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

  • University of Saskatchewan thanks for any peeks you are able to take in regards to this article. Sometimes it is easier to go from scratch and run, rather than editing an existing article. I keep comparing it to the other university articles listed on the talk page...and I think most things are covered, that the other feature universities have sections and info on. Perhaps the article will soon be ready for peer review or good article status review...A comment was made to add more about the buildings first though.SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


  • Govenlock Saskatchewan - there are a few places to have a go at... to find info. I use most of the links at the bottom of the pages I help out with...See also St. Louis, Expanse, Xena, or Bethune...etc, either under External links or references....Expanse, Xena, are also unincorporated areas and I believe there was an article saying only one building was left at Expanse, and Xena was not listed on the 2005 map any more. They (Expanse, Xena) should probably also be on the ghost town listing.... The following paragraph is where I roam around to on the WWW and why I visit them for info.
  • Crichton, Saskatchewan that is pretty bad for an article, hardly even a stub, and it has survived?1?! Sometimes deletions just don't make sense at all, articles with more info, and sources get the axe, and one worded like that,...how long did it stay online??? SriMesh | talk 03:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Next time I answer, I won't nest, as this article is getting looooong :-)

[edit] August Newsletter

Please re-read the articles started at August 2007 newsletter... We were discussing the portal...Should this news item be worded differently or copy edited for other concepts. Thank you for the communities additions, you were speedy. I have left a message to ultraflame regarding roads and highways... So far the articles don't repeat each too much.

Coming all very well. Much better info than just dry stats and whatnot.

Thank you so much for your invitation.

As you peek at newly created articles at WikiProject Saskatchewan Commnunities & Neighbourhoods, add a sugggestion to the Did You Know? page. It will let more WWW visitors have a peek at the new article, which will help its visibility. The rules to making a Did You Know? sugggestion are posted here. So articles have to be entered while still young for example be no more than five days old. It is rather fun to do  :-) SriMesh | talk 05:30, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birch Hills

Looked at the talk page re Birch Hills and entered my opinion on your comment regarding Notable Persons. Hopefully some sort of resolution can be found. Good item to choose to review. SriMesh | talk 05:30, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Putting notes in a box

Please don't put notes in wiki articles in a box (like with Backmasking for instance). It makes them not print, and just in general, scroll boxes suck. There's no problem with having notes take up space: wiki is not paper, and people who are not interested don't have to scroll to the bottom. --jacobolus (t) 00:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello there your edit to Birch Hills looks good IMHO. Hopefully the copy editor who added it is OK also. Kind Regards BTW what do you think of suggest bot? It is kind of interesting, to see related articles of interest to previous edits, and helps to find a few SK articles that also need TLC. SriMesh | talk 04:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, playing with the portal concept idea thingie.

Hello I am puttering at the concept of the portal. Please peek in and see what I mean.... I started on my sandbox, and it wasn't a good idea there, so I really really started one under the actual name...so it is a portal under construction... at...Portal:Saskatchewan Making portals is different from making articles because one portal absorbs into itself a bizzilion articles...each little box on the page is actually its own page which is unique...see the Wikipedia:Portal/Instructions under Wikipedia:Portal. I picked green and yellow as they seem to be common SK colours, but tis easy to change.... That is where I am now...but I am puttering this afternoon, but come putter with, or change whatever...I am playing for now...  :-) Trying to get used to the new concept of embedding pages. Thank you that's all for now. Thanks SriMesh | talk 20:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portal, reply I think

I made the portal all random with the pages that were transcluded-the sections that rotate the content are introduction, biography, feature article, feature picture, and DYK. All the other sections transclude ordinary article type pages with static non changing content, unless an editor edits them. I was reading the talk pages of other portals, and the dormancy was a problem, and the number of volunteers who have time to continually refresh the portals to make them look new was a factor. So if you want to see an item that was within a section box previously, open up itx transcluded page. To do that...you can place the Saskatchewan portal in edit mode, and all the transcluded page are listed at the bottom of the web browser, or just click on the link that says...Read more or more... Then you will see the listing of the grouping of other transcluded pages that can be added to or edited. If you just wish to view various pages hit the Show new selections below the introduction section. For more info about this transclusion concept. Another idea, that isn't done yet, would be to categorize all pages under a category called Portal:Saskatchewan, and they would also be easy to find. I am not sure what you were looking for....but hopefully this is clear as mud  :-) Kind RegardsSriMesh | talk 19:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. I understand. Thank you for updating the news page. I re-added it to the portal page. I had it on and was so nervous that it would look stale dated, as it is one section that really can't rotate random articles, as it is supposed to be current and here you are making it current and alleviating all my worries :-) Oh Thank you. The Canada Portal is in the same way. There is discussion on the talk page they want the current events section re-added on, but the same concern was why it was put into just the source coding. Anyways you made some awesome additions to the current events section BTW. SriMesh | talk 17:18, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Re news articles, linking to the original news site is good to show the source for more information, however the news from the news article should be put into your own words - rephrased - give the gist of the content in your formatting. As there is a © 2007 symbol and FAQs regarding the use of the news articles. SriMesh | talk 05:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your note re above. I found on Joni Mitchell's official website that she was born on November 7, 1943, in Fort Macleod, Alberta, and named Roberta Joan Anderson.

Would it be possible to add a few items to the newsletter, so it can hit the press at the beginning of October, rather than the first week into October? In that way, perhaps those who wish to help out with Louis Riel can get their feet wet? SriMesh | talk 02:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

From the Editor

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday.

This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a project news section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a current events section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement.

That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at this talk page.

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

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!

  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.

Outreach

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). January 2008 newsletter Please pop into the Spotlight Department and read all the brief introductory Wikipedia Saskatchewan bio. 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.

[edit] SK newsletter

That is a good idea regarding Current, kept, and deleted articles. Which newsletter was it, and how did they find the articles? I think Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser would be able to do quite a lot of these as I used it to compile a list of recent tagged articles for Saskatchewan, so could use it to find those in Category Saskatchewan and Category Deletion as well. ... as Saskatchewan is quite unique for a word. How are you doing? You are still very busy on wikipedia! 'Tis getting time to get the February newsletter as the end of month is rolling around too fast this time. On a side note...with the leap year, met someone getting married on the last day, which will make their anniversaries very interesting. Kind Regards Julia —Preceding unsigned comment added by SriMesh (talkcontribs) 03:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC) \

  • Tried to surf around, and google, to find some of these deleted articles and current under discussions. Already deleted ones I am finding hardest to find...AutowikiBrowser I haven't found the right comparison yet to uncover too many there. I listed in the Mar newsletter the ones I could find....

[edit] Spotlight Award

As all of the SK wikiprojects are still young and growing, I think it would be a good idea to honour any and all folks who contribute to Saskatchewan on wikipedia in any way. So, I think, yes, it would be excellent way to provide positive feed back to those who enjoy writing articles about SK. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 02:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Do you have someone in mind for the spotlight award who could be honoured in the March newsletter? Kind Regards again.... SriMesh | talk 03:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP communities assessment banner

Saw your note about coming together in the formation of a banner - I can peek in and see how I can be of help - on the following evenings, but my next day off won't be till Friday when I can devote some time to a project - will keep in touch. Kind Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by SriMesh (talkcontribs) 03:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

On a quick peek around a about in WikiProject banners...this banner may be easy to adapt... Template:WikiProject Cincinnati Your textual rating of Kinoosao, Saskatchewan gives good direction. If you also add the general Canada-provincial rating banner, folks who make robots can slip the ratings schemata from one banner to another. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 03:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chef at Home

On User talk:Bobo192, Fishhead2100 said:
I am just wondering why the article on Chef At Home was deleted.

Hi there. According to the deleted history of the article Chef at Home, the single and only user content edit that ever existed in that article was from a user who has no surviving contributions on Wikipedia. The single and only content edit consisted of test links, such as those to Example.jpg, Insert text, and even his own signature. Therefore no content as such has ever existed on this article.

Hope this is helpful and assists you further if you wish to write an article on the subject yourself - I'd say an edit of this kind from a onetime user wouldn't prohibit a genuine article on this subject being made, if you feel you can do so. Bobo. 11:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

On User talk:Bobo192, Fishhead2100 said:
I was asking as you were the one who deleted the article. Chef at Home is a cooking show on Food Network Canada.

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to write an article containing actual content relating to the subject. The previous content of the article had nothing to do with the subject itself — which I assume is notable enough by Wiki guidelines. All the best. Bobo. 17:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Newsletter/April 2008

[edit] Template SK

Sorry for the delay in reply...your template looks good, I think you will be also happy once the AWB is figured out to do list comparing again. The snapshot of compared lists is awesome...Compare what is tagged as CA communities to what is tagged as SK in general is a good way to see what is what. They have revamped it to only do 500 which is not enough, So awaiting reply. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 03:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Well it is defintely a bug in the AWB system. For example in the first 500 articles grabbed from template Canada communities and the first 500 grabbed from template Saskatchewan...these are SK communities with banners on them Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods/Tagged Hopefully soon there can be a snapshot of all the category articles and not just the first few.

[edit] Saskatchewan May newsletter

The time has rolled around again...for the May newsletter for Saskatchewan. Do you have ideas/expansion/ etc. I added more schools than communities for the Royal connections for Victoria Day celebrations on Wikipedia in regards to SK. Do you want to plop a couple more in as well? I only knew of one comment about your area of WP communities, and it first arose in regards to a highway article, but would be appropos for community infoboxes as well perhaps. Kind Regards and happy spring (saying this in the middle of a spring blizzard :-) SriMesh | talk 23:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

The goal of WikiProject Christianity is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Christianity available on Wikipedia. WP:X as a group does not prefer any particular tradition or denominination of Christianity, but prefers that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented.

[edit] Projects and Sub-projects ie SK communities template

Finally AWB is working properly! There is listed at Canadian project overlaps an AWB list comparison of those articles tagged with both the Saskatchewan = yes and community = yes! This list comparer can also compare the listing of those in either FA, GA. A,B,Start, Stub, class and High, mid, low importance etc. SriMesh | talk 03:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Finally the newsletter is going to more than 30 folk, so a robot is being signed up for the May 1 delivery.
