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, 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 Indian reserves, still need more help in regards to their red links. (BTW there is a discussion First Nations reserves v.s. Indian reserves naming)

T. Mazzei (talk · contribs) The March 2009 award is presented to T. Mazzei who upgrades and creates numerous Saskatchewan articles on a regular basis. It is good to have an editor monitoring articles, and adding wikilinks where needed. A thank you is extended for your consistent efforts.

Please add to the newsletter
Feel free to add to the newsletter, the blank format for the following month is at April issue. Any additions about the direction of the wikiproject, assessment, task forces, issues and opportunities or article improvements are welcome.

Saskatchewan photographs
- when you are traveling or looking through old pictures, if there are any of Saskatchewan roads, highways or Saskatchewan highway signs that you would wish to upload to wikimedia commons, it would be appreciated. It would be good to show our highways in various seasons as well as with various geographical terrains. Of especial import when getting involved with photographing highways are junctions, scenic points of interest, historical markers, intersections, divided highways, road crews, historical road crews, historical travel on highways, overpasses, underpasses and road signs showing concurrencies between various highways.
- Besides the above photographs, there are also these articles lacking images Wikipedia requested photographs in Saskatchewan
- If you have started an article for Saskatchewan, and wikimedia commons does not have a related Saskatchewan image, then place this code on the article's talk page below the banner for Saskatchewan {{reqphotoin|Saskatchewan}} and your request will be added to the above category.
- If you have added a request for a map, there are now locator maps for Saskatchewan available which should alleviate some of the requests added at Wikipedia requested maps in Saskatchewan For example see Saskatoon for a locator map in use.

Coordinators and A Class Review
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new 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. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

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. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Likewise if there are issues with improvements for Saskatchewan check out articles to improve periodically. At the moment this article name has been changed Rural Division has been changed to Saskatchewan Rivers School Division(NPOV) and there has been discussion if placenames require the added note that it is Foo, Saskatchewan or if the article can remain as the placename name: Foo. In this regards this article which needs disambiguation has not been reduced to placename title only. Regina --> Regina, Saskatchewan
- Please welcome new editors to wikipedia who are trying their hand at writing articles, at new Saskatchewan articles

May celebrations - Mother's Day

Saskatchewan growth
Please keep new growth articles updated and created such as the Global Transportation Hub (GTH), Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field [1] - Taylor Field and Pinkie Road, Regina; South Circle Drive Bridge, Gordie Howe Bowl [2] Saskatoon; Alfred Jenkins Soccer Field House [3], P.A.

List of universities in the Canadian Prairies
Please vote on the featured article status of this article, as it was promoted to FA quite awhile ago, and FA status requirements have changed. The above list was merged into the List of universities in Canada.

2009 Saskatchewan Wiki meet up
- In 2008, a Wikimeetup was sceduled for those interested in editing Saskatchewan articles. Is there interest for a 2009 Wiki meet up? Craik was chosen as a mid-point between the two major cities, Saskatoon and Regina, and it coincided with the Craik Sustainable Living Project (CSLP) Solar Fair and Trade Show. June 20 and 21, 2009. Please comment on the 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.

Welcome new users
- Use the Outreach welcome template and extend a welcome to new users who are writing about Saskatchewan.

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 and use the 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 Be bold and find out what is required to raise an aritlce past B class into GA or 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 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 Newsletter
For B-class articles the pre-requisites have been posted also at a few wikiprojects for the minimums required for B-class before advancing on to GA. Some wikiprojects offering B class outlines are Military History FAQ, Ships WP FAQ and WP UK roads The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of 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 described here.

Anniversary SK Communities & Neighbourhoods
- It has been one year since the WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods underwent a facelift and assessment banner update. The Banner helps to identify the quality of placename articles and which to focus attention on, and the wikiproject helps to coordinate the efforts of all interested editors! Thank you very much.

Anniversary
- It is also the anniversary of A class, C class assessment and the robotic selection of Saskatchewan related Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/New articles.

Anniversaries for GA articles
- During the 1907-2007 centennial year the University of Saskatchewan article was brought to GA status by following Wikipedia:Good article criteria|GA criteria. This year the The Saskatchewan Western Development Museum (WDM) is celebrating its 60th anniversary, and the town of Kipling is celebrating its 100th anniversary as is the National Broomball Association which appears to have had its humble beginnings in Perdue [4], so similarly, it would be nice to create a provincial Saskatchewan Broomball Association or National Broomball Association article and bring them all to GA status~~

School and education task force
- With fall and school starting up this late August and early September, it is time to start or upgrade the various secondary and post secondary education and Higher education in Saskatchewan articles for Saskatchewan or help with requests . 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 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.

North-West Rebellion
If there was a collaboration department, then the North-West Rebellion, and its several child articles such as its battles and people would be excellent articles to find references for, expand and achieve GA or 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."^[1]

References

^ "Tourism agencies to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Northwest Resistance/Rebellion". Home/About Government/News Releases/June 2008. Government of Saskatchewan. June 7, 2008. Retrieved 2009-09-20.

At this time, as well, the articles Aboriginal peoples in Canada and First Nations are undergoing GA review. For an idea of updating the Northwest Rebellion articles watch these two articles or assist with their upgrade.

Protected areas
- Updating articles on Saskatchewan national historic sites would benefit from some editorial attention, besides the ones mentioned above. There are a few still at red link status. See this interview regarding the United States National Register of Historic Places WikiProject or the protected areas WP for further ideas on expansion concepts.

Alt Tags
- Feature articles are being re-called due to a lack of "alt tags" for the images included in the articles, as in the ongoing screening of FA articles; Canada and Territorial evolution of Canada. 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, FA criteria states that articles should have images that follow the image use policy and other media where appropriate, with succinct captions, brief and useful alt text when feasible, and acceptable copyright status. Non-free images or media must satisfy the criteria for inclusion of non-free content and be labeled accordingly.

School projects
- Please make use of Wikipedia School and University projects and project instrutions on wikipedia, inform fellow students, classes, or school instructors. Higher education in Saskatchewan, was a part of a project that encompassed higher education in all the provinces and territories of Canada. As well students in public schools have been working on Saskatchewan town articles in the past.

Newsletter archives
- Newsletter archives are listed since the conception of the wikiproject and show the evolution of Saskatchewan wikiproject and Saskatchewan articles on wikipedia. Please feel free to contribute to the Next Issue! Any and all contributions are welcome.

Seasons Greetings
This is the third December newsletter for the Saskatchewan wikiproject, and two years since we inaugurated the assessment template! It is also how the anniversary of our Saskatchewan new article robot page which helps to identify new articles with Saskatchewan content and future contributors. 2007, 2008

Holiday greetings to everyone editing on wikipedia and especially those helping Saskatchewan find its niche so others on the WWW can know something of this prairie province of Canada. Please invite a fellow editor for a nice cup of tea and a sit down

Photography city scavenger hunts
- In the same vein as this Wikipedia Takes The City Scavenger Hunt Contest, please roam around Saskatchewan taking important photographs of your local area, city or neighbourhood or town, school, park, forest, statue, memorial, main street, cityscape view which are needed for various wikipedia articles. If you wish just use this online tool to help upload available public domain and fair use images to wikimedia commons.

Assessment
- With 2,442 stubs, there are 73% of articles relating to Saskatchewan which are stubs, describing the province in minimal detail. There are 6 articles and lists which reached feature 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.

Portal Saskatchewan
- Please make regular visits to the portal and perhaps make it your browser home page. Nominations for selected articles and pictures for the portal are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just worke on to achieve Good Article status or the super picture you took the last time you attended a festival in Saskatchewan.

Newsletter archives
- Newsletter archives are listed since the conception of the wikiproject and show the evolution of Saskatchewan wikiproject and Saskatchewan articles on wikipedia. Please feel free to contribute to the Next Issue! (January 2010 - Post your news years resolution) Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help improve it in the coming new year. Keep contributing and editing articles, and don't hesitate to contact the wikiproject talk page if you need help. Any and all contributions are welcome.
