I've added at least one parent to the category. I invite you to check my work for accuracy and completeness.
Place Saskatchewan articles on your watchlist to help prevent vandalism. Peek in on the newly created high school articles periodically as well as the Saskatoon article.
Saskatoon
There is a renovation and upgrade project being tackled on the Saskatoon article. Please Be bold and join the discussion or help promote the article to GA.
Caronport, Saskatchewan
Please expand city, town, village and hamlet articles especially if you have first hand knowledge of them, which would develop facts and help in knowing where to find resources, citations and sources. For example Caronport, Saskatchewan is a recent request
Please register new DYK, GA, FA, news articles and any photographs or media at the WP talk page, newsletter tips or the Portal talk page for inclusion into the Portal and the next news letter. The portal has been through peer review, and is awaiting more inclusion to proceed to Featured Portal nominations.
Please add new articles and as the newsletter acquires new information an update will be sent out to all subscribers signed up on WikiProject Saskatchewan Subscribers
There has been a surge of growth in communities around and about Saskatchewan. Please look at the New articles section to keep updated.
Please vote on the featured article status of this article, as it was promoted to FA quite awhile ago, and FA status requirements have changed. The above list was merged into the List of universities in Canada.
Use the Outreach welcome template and extend a welcome to new users who are writing about Saskatchewan.
Biographies
With father's day upcoming, focus is on writing up some biographies on some notable Saskatchewan people. Please categorise these with one of the sub categories from Category:People from Saskatchewan and use the talk page banner and check off Saskatchewan=yes as biographies are harder to trace for inclusion than other Saskatchewan titular articles. With such categories-banners being used, the articles are more likely to be found and expanded by other Saskatchewan users. Take some time to find biographies of Saskatchewan folk on wikipedia currently and categorise-banner them as well.
Saskatchewan B Class articles and Importance ratings
An opportunity to Be bold and find out what is required to raise an aritlce past B class into GA or FA. Some information is included below about how to raise an article to B-class
For B-class articles the pre-requisites have been posted also at a few wikiprojects for the minimums required for B-class before advancing on to GA. Some wikiprojects offering B class outlines are Military History FAQ, Ships WP FAQ and WP UK roads The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Las Vegas Stars
Las Vegas Stars appears to list one team that is defunct and one that is current. The article at Las Vegas Stars (basketball) appears to indicate that the team is not defunct. If you know that the team mentioned there is defunct, can you mention it in the article? If that team still exists, it would make sense to put the link back into the template.

ECHL task force
I have been working on many ECHL articles since I joined Wikipedia a few years ago and am in the process of petitioning WikiProject Ice Hockey for a separate ECHL task force. With you edits and contributions to the Ontario Reign page and other relevant articles, I felt that you would be qualified to help with the task force. I am asking ten other Wikipedians and am hoping for at least five commitments before I petition the WikiProject. Would you be interested in joining this potential task force? Rik (talk) 18:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Reading Royals
I was judging by the ECHL page on wikipedia, which no longer says anything about a secondary affiliation. If you are positive that the secondary affiliation still exists, then I trust you to revert my edit. 69.141.14.51 (talk) 13:23, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: Detroit Red Wings 2009-10 Season
Currently, there are probably about 15 different formats being used. When I said "consistency" I was just referring to other Red Wing season articles. There was talk a while ago at WP:HOCKEY about perhaps using a template for these so that they will all be consistent with each other but that did not happen. - Rjd0060 (talk) 13:42, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Lauren Jackson: Centre or Center?
My first reaction to this was "Of course not" ... followed by "Surely not", ... followed by "Wouldn't I have noticed?". Eventually I had to check.
Here is a link to Australia's NBL website that lists the players and their positions and here is another to Australia's WNBL website that gives some information about Abby Bishop. Both use the spelling "centre" rather than "center". I checked a few other Australian sites and they all used "centre", so it seems that I'm OK.
Thanks for bringing up an interesting point. It makes me realise that I should be a little more careful before making such changes in the future.
Sorry. I saw the ECHL's affiliates page and Reading only had Toronto listed. I assumed that Los Angeles made Ontario their only ECHL team. Raul17 (talk) 11:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
The Royals announced that they are renewing with the Maple Leafs and Marlies as their primary affiliations and added the Boston Bruins as their secondary. The Kings doesn't have a link to Reading. Raul17 (talk) 22:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Flags
Explain to me why Steve Yzerman has an American flag and Brett Hull a Canadian (he was born in Canada, but always played you the US team). Not to mention the fact if you take one of them off the wikiproject hockey team puts it back on. Here's a quote from User:Krm500 (Link to the whole disscussion here)"It is a guideline and not a policy, so if it were to be removed it shall be up for discussion. But in this case I don't see any need since this infobox adhere to the guideline; Nationality is used to inform readers of which country the player represent, or would represent, in international competitions governed by the IIHF." Alexei is allowed to play for team Canada (pending he makes the team).--Fire 55 (talk) 10:29, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
It has been one year since the WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods underwent a facelift and assessment banner update. The Banner helps to identify the quality of placename articles and which to focus attention on, and the wikiproject helps to coordinate the efforts of all interested editors! Thank you very much.
This is your newsletter and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips on the Newsletter tip line for future beginnings of the next newsletter edition.

Question
I would consider creating a page for the teams that aren't already on this, and adding the parts of the schedule that are useful to them on that. I just don't like the idea of having the schedule on the league page as I have never knowningly seen it before. An alternative to this is creating that season schedule, and adding the schedule to it when you make it. I think that the former is the more preferable choice, and I would support the keeping of it should it ever become nominated for a deletion. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:01, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Also, please consider archiving your talk page, as it takes a while to load. My page archives are one of the better archives if you're looking for a start. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Labour Day & Saskatchewan's Anniversary Article Drive
Labour Day is Monday September 1, and Saskatchewan celebrates its 104 anniversary of joining confederation on September 4, 1905. Goal would be to improve the Saskatchewan article to feature status or add main Saskatchewan topical articles or improve topics of Saskatchewan articles.
The Portal:Saskatchewan is undergoing its second anniversary showcasing to the WWW wikipedia articles about Saskatchewan content which have achieved good or featured class criteria. Please add more contributions to wikipedia and to the portal itself. If you have suggestions for the portal or want help with the "box formatting style of programming" drop a note on the portal talk page.
With fall and school starting up this late August and early September, it is time to start or upgrade the various secondary and post secondary education and Higher education in Saskatchewan articles for Saskatchewan or help with requests . Ensure that principals, vice principals, and current curricula and extracurricular activities are accurate for the 2009-2010 school year. Notable changes in curricula and extracurricular activities could be added to a history section. The newest education article seems to be an U of S article on the University of Saskatchewan Physical Activity Complex. List of universities in Canada this article was recently demoted from Featured list status. If anyone can work on this article and the new requirements to get it re-instated this would be awesome.

Sorry about that, I didn't know anything about the change. You may want to take a look at the other articles where you made the change, because the edit was reverted in some of them by other editors, who may have been in the same mindset as me. Once again, I'm sorry, I know how much of a hastle it can be to have to go back and fix other editors mistakes. Cmr08 (talk) 05:14, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
If there was a collaboration department, then the North-West Rebellion, and its several child articles such as its battles and people would be excellent articles to find references for, expand and achieve GA or FA status. In the words of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell who proclaimed, that "the 125th commemoration, in 2010, of the 1885 Northwest Resistance is an excellent opportunity to tell the story of the prairie Métis and First Nations peoples' struggle with Government forces and how it has shaped Canada today."[1]
At this time, as well, the articles Aboriginal peoples in Canada and First Nations are undergoing GA review. For an idea of updating the Northwest Rebellion articles watch these two articles or assist with their upgrade.
Feature articles are being re-called due to a lack of "alt tags" for the images included in the articles, as in the ongoing screening of FA articles; Canada and Territorial evolution of Canada. When beginning or updating a Saskatchewan related article, ensure the use of alt tags, which will save time later when upgrading the article.
Please make use of Wikipedia School and University projects and project instrutions on wikipedia, inform fellow students, classes, or school instructors. Higher education in Saskatchewan, was a part of a project that encompassed higher education in all the provinces and territories of Canada. As well students in public schools have been working on Saskatchewan town articles in the past.
