Oklahoma to be featured on Main Page

The time is here, and we knew it was coming. November 16 is Oklahoma's centennial, and, as expected, WikiProject Oklahoma's newest featured article will appear on the Main Page. Oklahoma will be the first article produced by WikiProject Oklahoma featured on the Main Page since October 23, 2005, when Black Seminoles was featured. Jim Thorpe has also been featured, coming on August 13, 2004. Though featured articles for the main page are always selected by Raul654, Oklahoma's 100th anniversary makes its main page appearance a near sure thing. As of early November 6, Oklahoma had 14 nods of support, with none in opposition. All are welcome and encouraged to help spruce up the article as much as possible for its main page debut, as well as lend a hand in anti-vandalism efforts on November 16th.

Wikiproject Oklahoma gets a new Wikipedia ad
Thanks to User:Miranda, Wikiproject Oklahoma has joined the ranks of WikiProjects with ads to welcome new editors. On November 5, the ad, in banner form, was completed two days after its request, becoming the 107th Wikipedia ad. The ad, located at Qxz-ad107.gif, can also be seen on WikiProject Oklahoma's project page. Those interested in having the ad on their user pages can add "{{wikipedia ads}}", which displays a random ad picture. An alternative is to simply add the image directly, avoiding unwanted ads.

Over 100 articles added to project

During the month of October, including Novermber 2, 104 new articles were added to WikiProject Oklahoma. November 2 saw 65 articles added to the wikiproject, all by User:SkiersBot, which adds articles to wikiproject corresponding to tags, such as articles with Oklahoma-related stub tags.

This month's task: Anti-vandalism and maintenance efforts for Oklahoma on November 16!
