Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Newsletter/October 2009

• North-West Rebellion

  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.

• Protected areas

  • Updating articles on
    Saskatchewan national historic sites would benefit from some editorial attention, besides the ones mentioned above. There are a few still at red link status. See this interview regarding the United States National Register of Historic Places WikiProject or the protected areas WP
    for further ideas on expansion concepts.

• Alt Tags

  • 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.
