[edit] Stages of the project and projected completion dates

Overall completion Date (excluding Phase Seven) is January 2009.

CURRENTLY ON→Phase One: Construction of this page is ongoing. Our goal is to move all current pages regarding roads in Golden Horseshoe which has a Regional Road identity to new categories (For Example, York Regional Roads; Simcoe County Roads). Also, place all regional roads into a list (should finish by February 2007)

CURRENTLY ON→Phase Two: Write articles about all Regional Roads. Start rating them as you start new articles or fix articles up. (We need a large workforce to do that. (Should finish by January 2008-- It depends on the size of the workforce we have.)

STARTING ON →Phase Three: Separate roads into municipal categories, such as "Roads in Markham", or "Roads in Vaughan", etc. Furthermore, regional/county road shields are to be created (should finish by April 2008)

Phase Four: Delete irrelevant and non-notable pages (Old pages), move them if necessary. (should finish by July 2008)

Phase Five: "Roads in xxx Region" (For Example, Roads in Simcoe County) would grow and be the head of all subcategories. The position of this category amongst others would be more symbolic. This category would only hold only local and collector roads within a Regional Municipality/County without a Regional Road identity. (should finish by November 2008)

Phase Six: Fix all the stubs in the categories, to make these articles to be more fuller. (should be finished by January 2009)

Phase Seven: Patrol. (Infinite)

[edit] To-do list

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/Golden Horseshoe: edit · history · watch · refresh

Each article is assigned a level of completeness on the following scale:

Image:Orange plus square.svg Stub, a paragraph or two, completely inadequate.
Image:Yellow plus square.svg Maybe a few paragraphs, but coverage is inadequate, still missing some basic information.
Image:Blue plus square.svg Many paragraphs, covers all, or almost all, basic information, provides a bit of depth.
Image:Green plus square.svg Featured article status, or has gone as far as it can go, as in the case of a simple list.

When rating articles, keep in mind the subject at hand. A very broad topic could be considered inadequate even if it is much longer than another article on a very narrow topic. Please update the page as you see fit.
