[edit] Tributaries

[edit] Order

If anyone can sort the Skeena tributaries by geographical order rather than their current alphabetical order, please do so. Deet 19:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Different lists of Skeena tributaries

There seems to be different lists with tributaries for the Skeena. First, there is the Skeena River article itself. Then there is the List of rivers of the Americas, which I populated based on the Skeena River article. Then there is the List of British Columbia rivers, which says the Skeena is the in Marcus Passage Watershed, and mentions the McNeil River as a tributary. I'm a bit skeptical of the Marcus Passage and McNeil River information. I'm comfortable that the list of tributaries in the Skeena article is correct based on the reference, but it may still be incomplete if other tribuataries don't have Chinook salmon (which was the focus of the reference information). If anyone knows how to improve and correctly align the various lists, please do so. Deet 19:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Starting new articles

If anyone wants to start a new article on any of the tributary rivers, here are some tips:

  • To create a new article is easy... just click on one of the red links in the Skeena article, but unlike editing articles, you need to create an account first before you can make a new article.
  • See also Help:Starting a new page
  • You can find public domain images in different locations. For example, you can visit http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-229EF8B/search , check off "visual images" and type "Ecstall" into the search box to find pictures relating to the Ecstall river. If the photo was created prior to 1949, it is public domain in Canada (although other dates may be relevant for its status in other countries). See Template talk: PD-Canada for more info on Canadian image copyright. If you use an historical picture, you might want to crop off the text added by BC Archives first by using a photo editor. When you upload the file, put "{{PD-Canada}}" into the image description, and be sure to reference BC Archives as the source. See Image:Sternwheeler Inlander.jpg for an example.
  • Or better yet, contribute one of your own photos or river maps by clicking on the link "Upload file" on the left side any Wikipedia page. Deet 01:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
