The WikiProject Saskatchewan Newsletter aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and Saskatchewan Wikipedia / Wikimedia activity as known/reported.
Please comment about the formation of a new concept - a Saskatchewan Portal
Take a peek at the Canadian Portal. There are four provinces, BC, ON, PQ, and Nunavut. There are also four Canadian cities with portals of their own as well.
Portals are pages intended to serve as "Main Pages" for specific topics or areas. Portals may be associated with one or more WikiProjects; unlike WikiProjects, however, they are meant for both readers and editors of Wikipedia, and should promote content and encourage contribution.[1]
A unique concept by Portal India was to add a quiz as well India/Quiz
Portals introduce the Wikipedia reader to new developments by the wikiproject showing selected biographies, articles, pictures to feature periodically, and archive the previous suggestions. The portal may list information introducing the portal subject, categories, did you know, to do, other wikiprojects and news features as well.
Whereas Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan is an organization created to promote Saskatchewan usage and participation in Saskatchewan article editing and development.
As New articles are created check the wiki link at the bottom of the article title 'What Links Here. Here related articles and biographies are listed which should have reciprocal links or information upon the newly created main article page.
Northern Saskatchewan Focus'
For the northern areas of Saskatchewan these are newly created articles: Ajawaan Lake, Nistowiak Falls. There are major expansions made to Prince Albert National Park, Churchill River. These are primarily natural areas, landforms etc. If others have this interest, there is a lot to do such as obvious entries such as Lac La Ronge (and the provincialSaskatchewan parks ), and some of the famous lakes in the north, some named for explorers and fur traders.

SuggestBot uses your prior contributions to predict other articles you might want to edit. This robot may give you some recommendations you may like to attempt. SriMesh | talk 01:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Quite a few of the topics of debate have been addressed by visiting editors who have helped in various ways to address ongoing concerns. Requests for assistance with online existing Wikipedia Saskatchewan articles were given improvements / changes where needed.
Looking forward toward more contributions from you! Happy Editing!!
This would be WikiProject Saskatchewan's third full-fledged edition of our Newsletter, and we'd like to start by saying we are very happy to have you among us. Archives:
Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the Newsletter. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!
When looking through some Saskatchewan Highway articles (especially those containing intersection lists), you may notice that there are red links to potential Saskatchewan road articles (especially Range and Township Roads). However, many of these roads do not appear on the List of Saskatchewan provincial roads. If you happen to read over any highway articles, and you notice a red link to a road that does not appear on the provincial roads list, please add the road's name to the appropriate section on that list. Eventually, I believe that we will have a list of all known Saskatchewan rural roads. Thank you. Ultraflame | talk 01:35, 7 August 2007
There are still articles needing attention and please pick one at the Adopt-An-Article department of the the Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods project.
If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created or substantially expanded article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.|
