I think this page should be unlocked. Except for Tkguy, all of the other editors have been working harmoniously even when they disagree. Since this was the second edit war protection involving Tkguy on this article in as many months, I think that future warring should result in his block rather than protection. Four or five editors, at least, are opposed to his original research and POV-pushing. Cool Hand Luke 07:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Outreach
Highway Picture Template
- Just as there is only one image needed for upload for Saskatchewan locator maps, and then various towns can be updated upon this image. So, too there should be a highway picture template, so that the various numbered highways 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914, etc can all have their own image without needing to create a bizzilion numbered images online.
2004 Election
- Our 2004 Saskatchewan election has resulted in an amazing number of politician biographies coming online! This was an awesome achievement, and something to be proud of!

- Qyd (talk · contribs) and Arctic.gnome (talk · contribs) are editors of a wide variety of Canadian related articles, and of note as of this date is the enormous amount of work they have undertaken to help amalgamate all the various provincial wikiprojects and Canadian sub projects into one umbrella assessment department. 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. This will result in a huge improvement in quality on wikipedia, resulting in Saskatchewan's spotlight award for Qyd (talk · contribs). January 2008 newsletter Please pop into the Spotlight Department and read all the brief introductory Wikipedia Saskatchewan bio. Congratulations are sent out to Qyd (talk · contribs)] and Arctic.gnome (talk · contribs) at this time.
- Please feel free to sign up as a Spotlight administrator and nominate more excellent and notable Saskatchewan editors on Wikipedia who deserve attention, and honour. For every wikipedia user who is mentioned in the spotlight department, they will receive a Wikipedia Saskatchewan Ribbon on their user pages for excellent service! Every newsletter will bring an update to the Spotlight Department, so please keep tuned for other excellent contributors.

Welcome and Happy New Year!:
- This would be WikiProject Saskatchewan's eighth full-fledged edition of our Newsletter, and we'd like to start by saying we are very happy to have you among us. Archives: Volume 1, Issue 7, December 2007, Volume 1, Issue 6, November 2007, Volume 1, Issue 5, October 2007, Volume 1, Issue 4, September 2007, Volume 1, Issue 3, August 2007 Volume 1, Issue 2, July 2007Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2007
- Just as panic begins to settle in as to what in the world the next newsletter should mention, new areas of development and growth come about. The coming year of 2008 should provide not only more Saskatchewan articles, but also more articles with higher ratings with the assistance of more editors, and a new assessment department umbrella. The highways and roads project has given a good base for development, and to strengthen the presence and notability of roads and highways and effort is being called upon to help these articles improve, now that they too are under the assessment umbrella.
- 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!

Saskatchewan Roads and Highways

Saskatchewan Roads and Highways The WikiProject Canada Roads is undergoing an overhaul. It is aiming to produce some Good articles and Featured articles of highway content pertaining to Canada, and for the Saskatchewan Roads and Highways for Saskatchewan highways. As Saskatchewan is still a work in progress this is a challenging endeavour for as the guidelines are followed as laid out at either Highway wikiproject, they become red link farms because wikilinked articles have not been developed regarding the communities, provincial and regional parks and rural municipalities which the highways meander through. Please keep apprised of the progress, and if any Saskatchewan articles rise above stub we will list it on the main page.
There is also discussion started about assessment and navigation boxes on the talk page. Please peek in to add any comments you may have.
If you want to add your name as a particpant to the Canada Roads wikiproject [here]. To join the Saskatchewan Roads wikiproject sign on the main here please.
Recently articles Saskatchewan Highway 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914 have been improved, but they need more help so they can become articles nominated as Good articles. Please help out if you are able, even to create community and rural municipality articles for these Highway articles would be an enormous help.
To keep updated on proposals, deletion debates, etc. add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/News}} or {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/News|right}} to your userpage to produce the box of notices in the above right. See this page for new areas of discussion: talk page WP SK roads

There have been two highway articles up for peer review. Saskatchewan Highway 11, Saskatchewan Highway 58 and Saskatchewan Highway 1 are still at highways peer review. Saskatchewan Highway 913 could go for a good article nomination. Achievement of good article or Feature article status would give direction for the project to follow.

Speedy deletion of Template:Monarchy in Canada
A tag has been placed on Template:Monarchy in Canada requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Never Back Down
Hey, it's me again. This time, it's not about me, it's about a page. Yes, it's about Never Back Down. The page has been receiving continous vandalisms for awhile now and I was wondering if it can be admin protected. Somehow MMA is a big thing and the film has been getting a lot of crap about it before it's releasal. The vandalisms mostly contain vuglar terms like male genital this and that. If you see the post history, you'll know what has been going on. Just asking from a fed up person after from seeing vandalisms from immature people. Take care. Have a good day.

This provides an improvement in quality on wikipedia and so a large thank you goes out to Shanemcd at this time.

Mr. Royalguard
Please pay attention to what it is EXACTLY that I am editing. It is not vandalism, I am merely editing commentary that 1. No longer has a valid citation and is not located on any website. 2. That has no relevance. 3. THAT HAS BIAS. I will not allow irrelevant commentary to clog up any wiki, something that nobody else has bothered to fix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.15.131.251 (talk) 02:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

userbox migration...eh?
Is it still advisable or worthwhile to conduct userbox migration? since I like userboxen, I thought it might be something to keep me busy. I reviewed some argumentation in Wikipedia_talk:Userbox_migration/Archive_5 and came away confused. I had already started on a campaign of migrating some of the stragglers, as you can see here. I thought they were all decidedly "unencyclopedic". Anyhow, let me know your thoughts. On a somewhat related note Wikipedia:WikiProject Userbox Migration looks like it was a work in progress that got abandoned, and is long since inactive. Should it be XfD'd? xenocidic (talk) 04:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- k, thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll find something else to keep me busy =)... Should I XfD that inactive Wproj? It wasn't even fully fleshed out. xenocidic (talk) 19:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- k, i'll let sleeping dogs lie =) cheers, xenocidic (talk) 20:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Blue Sky Summer
Hi,
Just interested to know why this should have been deleted.
Blue Sky Summer is a band that is just about to be named as the headliners on the 2nd Stage at Redfest, a 2 day 5000+ music festival so I would contest the "non -notable"
As for the article posted by me. I am the band manager and can personally vouch for all the information contained within.
Please could you reconsider and let me know the result
Many Thanks
Del Garland

Estevan
See Category:People from Estevan, Saskatchewan. Cheers. Skeezix1000 (talk) 11:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC) I came across the results from your proposed move over atTalk:Estevan (disambiguation). I think that the dab should be deleted. How would I go about proposing that? Would a dab be considered an article? (AfD), or should it be taken to MfD? DigitalC (talk) 10:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
