New articles (not related to education or schools) edit

Articles I've written, or articles to which I've somehow contributed significantly:

Article Date Notes
Blue Hawk Mine October 10 2005 My first article. Needs some re-work now that I know more about Wikipedia and how things should be written.
IBM Open Class January 13 2006 Computer language stub. Actually would be nice if we had a "computer libraries" section, since it isn't really a language.
Intelligent Medical Imaging, Inc January 25 2006 I have some of their Chapter 11 paperwork here at the house, I need to look through it all and see how the article could be updated.
William R. Bennett Bridge February 8 2006 An on-going article on the new Okanagan Lake bridge under construction.
Mount Boucherie May 14, 2006 Spent quite a lot of time at the library researching the content for this article.

Disambiguation pages to make things a bit easier to find edit

Education in Canada edit

 This user is a participant in WikiProject Education in Canada.


I re-wrote the WP:EiC project in mid 2006, and my focus is usually on articles related to this wikiproject. As part of EiC, I've written, re-written, or modified hundreds of school-related articles. I no longer track all of the articles I've touched, but instead will list some of the ones I use as reference when working on new articles:

Article Notes
Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique Example of BC school board (BC-specific school district template).
All examples of ON school board which uses the generic Canadian school district template.
Toronto District School Board I re-wrote this to bring it up to WP:EiC standards, but 1 problem remains -- what do we do with the 500+ schools that are in this district?
Peel District School Board Again, this one was brought up to standards, and I tried one possible solution to dealing with school boards that has hundreds of schools. However, this is borderline unmaintainable. I still think navbars with individual articles will work out better.
Delhi Public School (Ontario) Infobox stub that shows it is possible to use references within the infobox. All of my infobox stubs from that point on uses the style I first tried out with this article.

Works in progress edit

Article Notes
User:S charette/Lakeview Irrigation District (or perhaps User:S charette/Rose Valley Dam) Userspace; just notes for now on a future article.
Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario ON school board stub that someone else started which I need to bring up to standard
Upper Grand District School Board I'd like to get this article up to standard before school starts in September and we're dealing with daily vandalism from User:64.235.102.2.

Templates edit

Templates I've written, or to which I've contributed significantly:

Wiki editing tricks edit

  • How to show templates outside of <pre> blocks: <nowiki>{{Infobox Education in Canada}}</nowiki>
    • ...or, better yet: {{Tl|Infobox Education in Canada}}
  • How to link to a category without becoming part of the category: [[:Category:Canadian school stubs]]
  • How to show up at the very top of a category: [[Category:High schools in Ontario|*]]
  • Wikipedia:Shortcuts
    • WP:AIAV (ask an administrator to block a user/IP due to repeated vandalism even after warnings)
    • WP:CTT (templates to cite sources)
    • WP:FN (footnotes)
    • WP:OWN (ownership of articles)
