Sports in Saskatchewan

Can you improve/edit/update this new article please? I see you have created an article about lacrosse in SK. TXS SriMesh | talk 06:05, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow! Your improvements to this article were absolutely awesome...!!! I will add references to the paragraphs over the next while. Started somewhat in this process already. This is truly a field you have contributed a lot in. I hope you don't mind that I started the article with links to your already started articles to get it going. Again, Thank you!!!! SriMesh | talk 18:27, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello again...I tried to select references that wouldn't go away in a few weeks. They might not go into all your comments, but they help to verify that there was a (defunct or current) team in this league in this year and set up of league and that sort of info. My interest currently is attending football games or other sports games. I am not too much of a TV sports fan, but I love live games -roughriders, hilltops, huskies esp, some storm and blade games.... I also do history and genealogy, so, I too have to dig up my notes, as they say which teacher implemented the first SK track and field day, which teacher implemented the first SK basketball game and team. The Mendel Art Gallery/Kinsmen park area was once a horse track, so I have to dig up info about that and the horse racing of the French counts. I think the community local history books of 1981 that tell of one room school house sports and community events suggest that the kids played football means that they played soccer and they called it football. This part is confusing which sport they would be referring to at the turn of the century - early 1900's...will have to do more research about which sport... soccer/football it was. so will improve the history section over time....as far as history goes...most early 1900 sports were not full of equipment, and outdoors (no early arenas) as the immigrant families fashioned what they could-homemade not much brought over from the home country, and monies went to proving the homesteads and getting settled. It was also interesting those small town kids who would excel at sports in the early 1900's especially baseball to win some much needed monies to bring back home. ... but need to find sources. Thank you again for everything, you are a genius! SriMesh | talk 04:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lithium.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Lithium.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, would you consider to rename the Image, because there are several Wiki-Projekts (also Commons) using this name for the Element Lithium - Thanx 80.228.182.53 (talk) 20:24, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

SJHL

Why bother having both WP Canada and WP Saskatchewan templates on the SJHL talk page? Seems like overkill. Also, the SJHL teams would be served more appropriately with the Sask template than the Canada one in my opinion. DMighton (talk) 02:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I figure that both are different Wikiprojects, so you might as well include them in both. Plus it adds to the articles listing for each. I see no harm in having both. If its that big of a deal you can remove the Canadian one, but it does fall into the scope of both projects. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 03:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I always figured an article is best served by its most direct project group... in the case of Canadian hockey.... the Ice Hockey WP and the "Province" WP seemed to be sufficient... just my thoughts. DMighton (talk) 22:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I figure the more people contributing to an article the better it gets. So if you place it in several groups, the article can always improve. But like I say if you feel its inappropriate to do so, you can definitely remove them. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 06:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Blackstrap Ski Hill

Hi. Thanks for your contribution of Blackstrap Ski Hill. Sounds like an interested project indeed. I noticed that the last sentence of the article was similar to the text on [1], so I re-worded it. Please remember that contributions to Wikipedia must be original - copying from other sources in any quantity is not allowed. Please read WP:COPYRIGHT for reasons why. Again, thanks for your contribution. - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 03:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. But I didn't create the page, I simply added it to the Saskatchewan Wikiproject. Icedteapitcher is the person you need to direct this message to. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 03:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Ahh - indeed. My apologies, I was looking at the history for the talk page. I feel rather sheepish.. CosmicPenguin (Talk) 04:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

No worries. By the way thanks for indirectly showing me how to indent. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 04:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Jamal Robertson

Why isn't he on the web site's roster?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 06:26, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

The Riders are terrible for not updating their roster. In fact, the entire time he's been with the Riders he was never listed on Riderville.com However, take a look at CFL.ca's transactions for the Riders today, you will noticed that it says SGD next to his name. I've been following the Riders transactions all season (as I update the Riders Wikipedia page) and when a player is released the CFL transaction shows a UNS next to the name. When a player is transferred to the Active Roster they use SGD.Shootmaster 44 (talk) 06:28, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh okay, my mistake.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 06:29, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

No worries. Just thought I'd explain why I had reversed your edit to his page, since the little Edit Summary was too small to do so. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 06:30, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Read WP:NOR and you'll learn quite a bit. I am in the process of trying to take the page to featured status, and it will never reach that with the records, so they have to go. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Updating rosters

Here's a hint on updating rosters: As opposed to deleting the inactive player, use comment marks to hide it! Insert "<!---" before the player, and then "--->" after the player. It's a big time saver. Have a look at Hartford Wolf Pack for an example. Flibirigit (talk) 08:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. It was a bit of a pain when someone like Matt Moulson bounces between Manchester and LA 3 times in one week. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 08:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

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.

Template {{Saskatchewan topics}} {{Saskatchewan topics}} template needs new articles such as Tourism in Saskatchewan. The template currently wikilinks to articles, lists and categories. The lists and categories should be replaced with new articles where appropriate. Quality growth. Phase II Saskatchewan is growing in content on Wikipedia The assessment rating of articles shows a great number of articles as stub and start class. An improvement in quality would be the logical next step. There are two Top importance Saskatchewan articles both at B-class:Canadian English and Saskatchewan. Of the 34 high importance articles, only 1 article made it to feature status ( Louis Riel ) and 2 have passed good article criteria. Wish list: Have a larger quantity of Top importance and high importance articles about Saskatchewan. Improve quality of these articles to GA or feature article status!!

WikiProject Ice Hockey March 2008 Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Shootmaster 44/Archive 4! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY; this newsletter will be sent every two weeks/months. If you wish to not receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the newsletter mailing list. Thanks! New recognized content By The Pancake of Heaven! There has been numerous new recognized content, so much that it's too time-consuming to sift through the "trophy cases" on WP:HOCKEY. Some interesting achievements: 2016 NHL Draft has been newly created and has immediately become a GA status article. The Vancouver Canucks task force has become active again, thanks to Canuckian89! J.D. Watt has been declined at WP:AFD. Drafts related to the OHL have been published! Task forces By The Pancake of Heaven! We are working to create a new task force within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It hasn't been created yet; but it aims to expand articles based on former and current Pittsburgh Penguins players and articles. Good luck! New Administrators Currently 0 promoted admins! Be the first one at WP:RFA. Featured Topic Drive By Maxim The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY. Notes More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. The newsletter creator doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news. Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status. Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here! Help Patrik Stefan -- one of the greatest NHL draft busts -- become a GA status article.
