This is a good start, but it mostly duplicates the much better established Wikipedia:Canadian wikipedians' notice board. - SimonP 21:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- True, but there are advantages to projects over notice boards. Assessment and collaboration are two of the big things a WikiProject can easily do that a notice board can't. Badbilltucker 18:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question
Have you put the project on the Wikipedia:Community Portal section for new WikiProjects yet? It can't hurt. Badbilltucker 18:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 18:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Modification
I'm afraid I haven't added all the featured articles, etc. yet. Hope someone else can do that. Badbilltucker 21:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] extra categories
There are sub-categories for Canada-related articles by importance and Canada-related articles by quality. But there are also empty sub-categories for Canada articles by importance and Canada articles by quality. Can someone with admin power get rid of one of the sets, please? --Arctic Gnome 23:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- When you spot something like that, just put {{delete|Reason here}} to notify the admnistrators. AQu01rius (User • Talk) 05:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment and Wikipedia:WikiProject Government of Canada
The Assessments for Wikipedia:WikiProject Government of Canada and WP:CANADA are merged; that creates some confusion, as the importance scale has different criteria and priorities. Shouldn't they be split? --69.19.14.27 19:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

- WikiProject Germany has just created a task force which has a different set of importance criteria than the main project. The project could probably copy what was done there in creating a few variations in the banner to accomodate the difference. If figuring out how to do so is difficult (I don't know, I haven't checked), let me know and I'll see what I can do. Badbilltucker 21:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- After creating the Government of Canada template, I noticed that none of the other Canada workgroups had an assessment scale, so I replaced all of the {{CanGov}} templates with a cangov=yes tag on the {{WikiProject Canada}} template. Now none of the workgroups have their own assessment scale, which I don't see as a problem. It works well for both WikiProject Canada and WikiProject Government of Canada to list, for example, Government of Canada as top importiance, Canadian House of Commons as high, Minister of the Environment (Canada) as mid, and 7 Rideau Gate as low. --Arctic Gnome 18:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Assuming we mark Ministers's as mid, I'd assume we would still mark a Ministry itself as High. Deet 00:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)I've moved the discussion of importance calibration to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Government of Canada. Deet 00:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current Events Canada
I just created the Current Events Canada Portal. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at it, contributing, adding to it. I think it could easily become a featured portal. Mkdwtalk 09:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
