Portal Saskatchewan

• The Portal Saskatchewan peer review has produced some excellent suggestions, many of which have been enacted. Some of the portal categories should be added to Saskatchewan wikiproject such as the instructions on how to add content to a box portal concept.

• To go forward to apply for PORTAL feature status, 10 articles, 10 biogrphies, 10 images which are qualified as good or feature should be added to the portal in the various areas.

• Shanemcd (talk · contribs) has contributed to the organization of which placenames are town, villages, hamlets, etc by going above and beyond the call of duty. Sorting out List of communities in Saskatchewan and the various section lists have shown significant improvements. Consistency and attention to detail on the various incorporation dates, and status of the many and several communities is producing more accurate lists for visitors to wikipedia viewing Saskatchewan articles. This provides an improvement in quality on wikipedia and so a large thank you goes out to Shanemcd at this time.

• So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else to Saskatchewan related articles, why don't you give them a reward to show your gratitude? Nominate 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.

Wikipedia launches new project!!

New Talk Page Banner Addition

• The Saskatchewan communities has been joined by Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian communities. Now all communities, neighbourhoods, cities, towns, villages, hamlets, rural municipalities, and any place name can have a rating within the Canada talk page banner. In this way, all articles can be rated as belonging to Canada, and any province or territory as well as any demographic can have their own rating.

• The full Canada template is located at Template:WikiProject Canada. When rating articles for Saskatchewan related content, add supporting work groups also such as: cangov, ppap, riding, canlaw, education, tvshow, music, road, sport, geography, and now community!!

Hackers have infiltrated Saskatchewan related articles

• Hackers have "hacked" into Wikipedia, and into this wikiproject site, breaking through our security. For some time now the hacker who was named ap®1L_f001$’ has been making attempts to break through our security on this site, and has now gained access and has made changes to website articles on wikipedia and wikiproject Saskatchewan articles. Please see this article for how you can help.

Wikinews

• Does anyone have the notion to be a news reporter for Saskatchewan events. Saskatchewan wikinews content has very historical news reports.

Notability

• Prairieland Park, Brant Kersey, Steven Woods, and Mary MacIsaac all have received a notability tag. Can anyone help to tweak these articles or merge them with another article? The quantity of wikiproject Canada articles with their notability questioned is very high as per this notable listing. For more help see this note

Portal Saskatchewan

• Saskatchewan content has been every increasing new articles and some new editors. Please also improve the quality of the articles by using a few suggestions from Article collaboration and improvement so that they may be added to the Saskatchewan Portal.

DYK?

• Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Saskatchewan Doctors' Strike. "Did you know...that in 1962 doctors went on strike in Saskatchewan for 23 days in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the introduction of universal health insurance? ?"

• Did you know?' was updated with a fact from the article Lalit Goel. ...that Professor Lalit Goel of Nanyang Technological University became an internet celebrity after footage of his lectures were uploaded to YouTube?

Main Page

Presumably, you believe that using a misleading summary and labeling an edit "minor" to direct users who seek our arts portal to a poorly written article is funny. In your mind, it's comical to hinder the efforts of people around the world (including those for whom Internet access is highly limited and/or expensive) to enrich themselves via our encyclopedia. Well, I hope that you also take pleasure in being blocked, because that's what will happen the next time that you commit vandalism. —David Levy 11:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

It was a nice one, though :) Anthøny 17:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I can only presume Levy's comment is made with the same level of gravity as the edit it addresses. --erachima formerly tjstrf 17:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I assure you that I'm entirely serious. Believe it or not, some of us don't want Wikipedia to be perceived as a joke and do want to readers to be able to utilize it as an academic resource on any day of the year. —David Levy 17:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

...And I suppose it's a couple hours too late in the month now to go creating Category:Wikipedian spoilsports? --erachima formerly tjstrf 01:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, anyone who attempts to counter vandalism is a "spoilsport." —David Levy 01:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

If you can find one person who got confused and/or offended because of a changed link that was up for 11 minutes, feel free to block me. --Merovingian (T, C) 23:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Huh? Unless you commit additional vandalism, why would I do that? Blocks aren't intended to be punitive.

And how can we possibly know how many readers (you know, the people for whom we're writing the encyclopedia) were affected by your prank? You do realize that most of them don't edit, right?

Obviously, people clicked on the link (otherwise, there would have been no point) and were taken to the wrong page (and thereby deprived of the information that they sought). How is this remotely amusing, and what makes you think that you had any right to do it? —David Levy 01:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

David, you realize you're complaining about people being misled by a link on a page that, at the time the edit was made, was full to the brim with links that were specifically designed to humorously mislead people, right?

Now, either the average reader has the IQ of a pile of rocks, in which case we should be much more concerned about the waves of rumors of Ben Affleck's death we doubtless sent reverberating through the universe than the people who clicked the arts portal and ended up somewhere else, or the average reader realized that it was April Fool's from the myriad of other joke links on the page, in which case they would not be grievously confused by ending up at the wrong place from the arts portal link either.

I suppose it is possible you are equally opposed to all the other, sanctioned, jokes that were on the front page, in which case it isn't hypocritical of you to be complaining about this one, but in that case, see the spoilsport comment above. --erachima formerly tjstrf 02:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

1. All of the sanctioned main page content was 100% real. I personally would prefer that we go about business as usual, but I believe that the special content is an acceptable deterrent to the insertion of outright hoaxes (as has occurred in the past).

I also admire all of the hard work that people put into that material, and it's unfortunate that the intended effect ended up being tainted by the cheap nonsense that various sysops decided to throw in. Your argument that it's hypocritical of me to condone the sanctioned content and condemn the vandalism is analogous to claiming that it's hypocritical to laugh at a stand-up comic and not at a drunken heckler shouting "look at me! I'm funny too!".

2. You do realize that April Fools' Day isn't a worldwide observance, right?

3. You're missing the point. I don't doubt that most of the people who clicked on that link realized that they'd fallen victim to a prank. The problem is that this realization didn't bring them to the desired content, nor did it return the time and money wasted by people using slow dial-up connections that they pay for by the minute. (Yes, this remains common in some parts of the world.) And I can only wonder how many people, in light of this and other childish pranks, now trust Wikipedia less than they did on 31 March. —David Levy 02:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Green Bay Packers Newsletter

The Green Bay Packers WikiProject Newsletter!
Volume 1, Issue 1 - March 302008

Welcome!

Welcome to the Green Bay Packers WikiProject. As you should know, we are a group dedicated to making the Green bay Packers not only the best team in the NFL, but also the best covered on Wikipedia. This is a great way to show your support for America's best small-town team. Right now, we are working on creating a solid base for the WikiProject, so that we will be able to easily coordinate our efforts to succeed in our main goal, expand the articles! Nothing is set in stone, and all users are on an equal footing, so comments, suggestions, concerns, and being BOLD is welcome! Please come take a look at the project page, and become part of our community. If you feel you can help out in coordinating certain parts of the project, or have some new ideas, please let us know!

Article news

• Jack Clancy and Ryan Grant became the second and third Good Articles within the project's scope.
• List of Green Bay Packers head coaches was promoted to Featured list status. (nom)
• Snow Bowl (1985) is currently being discussed for deletion. (nom)
• Currently the project has 1062 assessed articles under its scope.

Collaboration

• The Green Bay Packers Wikiproject has three specific collaboration efforts, and one open collaboration effort:
  • Nominated Collaborations- As with most WikiProjects, we have an area for members to nominate articles that need attention.
  • Featured and Good Content Collaboration- The Project also has a specific area for members to receive help with building an article up to GA-Class, FA-Class, or FL-Class. Every B-Class article within the scope of the project has been identified as a candidate for the area of collaboration. Nominations of new articles or of lower-class articles are also welcome in this area.
  • Stub Collaboration- One major key to this Project is to make sure that no top-importance and ultimately high-importance article is a stub. This area of collaboration is for members to work on de-stubbing important articles within the project's scope. As with the other collaboration efforts, this area is open to member nominations.
  • Special Collaboration- This last area is for special collaboration efforts. This area will not always be in use, but is usually used for collaboration efforts that focus on adding certain aspects to every page. Currently, the special collaboration is focused on adding an appropriate Infobox to every article that requires one. Hopefully, we will be able to get the services of a bot to automatically search our categories and create a list here, which will allow members to add the appropriate infobox to each article.

Assessment

• Please assess any articles found in Category:Unknown-importance Green Bay Packers articles or Category:Unassessed-Class Green Bay Packers articles!
• Currently, the project will employ the work of a bot, SatyrBot, to help the project tag new article with our project banner. Every two weeks, the bot will search every article in each Green Bay Packers category, and any article found to be in the category without a project tag will be listed here. Any article on this page should be tagged with our banner, making sure to assess the article by class and importance.
• A worklist showing each article under the project's scope by class and importance can be found here, with a log of changes of assessments found here, and the project's statistics can be found here.

Members

• Currently the project has 32 members, vastly more than any other NFL team project. A full list of our members can be found here.
• The project coordinator is Gonzo fan2007. Any questions, comments, or concerns about the project or Wikipedia in general can be addressed to the Project's talk page or Gonzo fan's talk page.
• Please invite new members by either using a personal message, or {{InvitePackersProject}}. If new members join, please welcome them with {{WelcomePackersProject}} while also giving them a personal welcome.

To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here.
If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let us know.

If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use.

Aber Tafol

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Aber Tafol, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Oo7565 (talk) 05:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

• As the reviewing administrator, I think the article is clearly notable--all villages are, so i removed the tag. But you really should try to add additional information, such as the geographic coordinates at least. DGG (talk) 00:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

• • Indeed, looking through Google it seems that Aber Tafol is at least some sort of landmark in the U.K.[2], but I am not able to verify anything else about this place, not even that it is in fact a hamlet, as the article describes it. While not all potential references on all subjects can be found on Google, this article has been here unsourced for more than two years, and therefore should be deleted soon if no references are added. Merovingian, where did you hear about this place? If you have no references to add yourself, can you at least point us in the right direction? 152.3.116.199 (talk) 17:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Abercoed

Speedy deletion of Abercoed

A tag has been placed on Abercoed, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Enaidmawr (talk) 22:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
