Hi there. I read about your travel, you should definitely write more about it...and if you've taken pictures, please consider contributing them to various Canada-related articles here. As customary to posting to new Wikipedians, here's the template text that gives a brief introduction. Enjoy!
Welcome!
Hello, Eternalsleeper, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
Eternalsleeper, you do not have to duplicate pages to create two pages by the same name. You can create redirects by making a page with the code "#REDIRECT [[Name of Article]]" (no quotes) at the top of the page you want the redirect to come from, replacing "Name of Article" with the name of the article to which you want the redirect to point. I did it for you for Mayamaya Disease. Thank you. Andrew pmk 02:20, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi Eternalsleeper, judging by your edits at Emile Lahoud and Rafik Hariri, you have strong feelings about Lahoud. This is just a reminder that edits must conform with Wikipedia:NPOV, as well as Wikipedia:Cite sources and Wikipedia:No original research. That doesn't mean you can't insert criticism of Lahoud, but it must be attributed to a credible publication. I've removed one of your edits from the Lahoud article, another from Hariri, and there's a paragraph in Lahoud that will have to be deleted if it's not referenced soon, though I don't know whether you wrote that one. See Talk page of Lahoud article for details. I hope this clarification helps. Best, SlimVirgin 00:39, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Iman123.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
The article Soloway jewish communtiy center has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
It has nothing to do with your topic's relation to Judaism. It's a local group with no asserted notability per WP:N. And how do you know I'm not Jewish? NawlinWiki03:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thanks for joining Wikipedia and I welcome someone who's adding Judaism-related material. You might want to join WP:JUDAISM. You're new and confused by the rules here and clearly frustrated by them too. However, please take the time to settle in before venting like this ([1]). NawlinWiki is a well-respected admin who doesn't deserve the comment you left. It's unfounded and blatantly untrue. If you want or need any help with settling in here and getting to grips with the way things work, please drop me a line at User talk:Dweller. Kol tuv --Dweller22:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to attack other editors, as you did in this edit. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Jeff G.(talk|contribs)21:50, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Concerning your contribution, James Kugel, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.hup.harvard.edu/features/kugbib/index.html. As a copyright violation, James Kugel appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. James Kugel has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.
If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:James Kugel and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:James Kugel with a link to where we can find that note.
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:James Kugel.
However, for text content, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Butseriouslyfolks06:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see no reason why I should be threatened with a block. What the other party has done is vandalise the article with untruth. What I have done is to revert that vandalism. If you go to the FBI website that was on the article, press Ctrl-F and then type in "Jewish" and search. You would see that the JDL is deemed a "right-wing terrorist group".
I know the JDL and Kach are two different movements. That FBI terrorism website specifically mentioned the JDL.
DerHexer, you and Denis are the vandals. You have no proof that JDL is a terrorist group, in fact, I called the FBI and asked them personally and they are not a terrorist group. So stop your nonsense bias, please...
I don't see myself as a vandal at all :) Unfortunately, it's not enough that some unnamed person at the FBI tells you that they don't regard the JDL as a terrorist group. It has to do with verifiability, a fundamental Wikipedia policy. You need to find some published official statement by the FBI, or else ask them to clarify their position in a public statement. Please note that we are not saying that the FBI lists the JDL as a terrorist group in 2007, because we don't have any evidence for that. We say that they used the label "right-wing terrorist group" in their report for 2000/2001 (which is the latest available).--Denis Diderot02:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have no official proof JDL is listed as a terror group. I will say though, it humors me that the two or three people have contributed to strictly anti-Zionist articles in the past.
Please see my note on User talk:208.124.136.98. You are apparently violating out policy on sock puppets. Please also be aware of the WP:3RR policy, which limits editors to no more than three "reverts' of an article. If you make another revert you may be blocked temporarily. Please discuss this on the talk page rather than engaging in an edit war. -Will Beback · † · 19:41
Will Beback, I don't know what a sock puppet is. I like how you try to accuse your opposition with deviancies in order to gain credibility., 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Me123.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you. -Will Beback · † · 21:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't post a note on the other user's talk page because they had previously received one. You've never had a straighforward warning about the 3RR rule so I posted this here to make sure you are aware of it. Please note that edit warring and reverting is never the best way to resolve a dispute. -Will Beback · † · 21:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
please also note that personal attacks are not allowed. Saying that an editor "obviously can't read" is a personal attack.[3] Comment on the edits, not the editors. -Will Beback · † · 21:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image copyright problem with Image:Rockyharbour11.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rockyharbour11.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Hello. A new WikiProject about Saskatchewan has been started as an attempt to better organize information in articles related to the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. If you would like to participate, you can edit Saskatchewan articles, add Saskatchewan content, or visit the project page, where you can join / edit the project and/or contribute to the discussion.WikiProject Saskatchewan
Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Ontario College of Teachers. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDLor released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Ontario College of Teachers with a link to where we can find that note;
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Ontario College of Teachers with a link to the details.
Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Ontario College of Teachers saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.
Per Wikipedia naming conventions, communities are always named in the format "Town, Province" unless you can provide proof that the community in question is either the most overwhelmingly important meaning of its name or the only possible meaning of its name. For example, Saskatoon can be at a plain title, because it meets the criterion of being the most important thing called Saskatoon, and Iqaluit can be at a plain title, because it meets the criterion of being the only encyclopedic thing in the world called Iqaluit — but "Timber Bay" and "Paddockwood" don't meet either criterion, and thus they have to be at Timber Bay, Saskatchewan and Paddockwood, Saskatchewan.
Don't add a community to Category:History of Saskatchewan unless the article specifically explains what's inherently historic about the place.
So you know, I have mostly gutted and rewritten that article. While your prose was certainly fanciful, it had too much fluff to be stylistically appropriate for an encyclopedia. I hope you understand why I did this. Kurt Weber13:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please help to create the first newsletter for WP SASK ? ... a pilot perhaps could start similar to....WP SASK Newsletter Do you have any other ideas ... it seems like other WP projects have tried to use newsletters, would it be helpful for WP SASK to also have one?.... SriMesh | talk23:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do you wish to receive a newsletter like this?
WikiProject Saskatchewan Newsletter: Volume 1, Issue 1 - June 2007
Thanks to many contributors like you, we're proud to state that our province is coming together to provide direction related to Saskatchewan article content and format. Saskatchewan Wikipedians have also helped to identify missing or unfinished Saskatchewan articles. There is already one featured Saskatchewan related article and two featured Saskatchewan related lists followed by several "B-Class" rated articles. (Featured Articles).
Two New Articles On Saskatchewan Communities:by Fishhead2100
Two news articles have been created. One on Osler, Saskatchewan and the other on Cadillac, Saskatchewan. Those two articles need some attention with formating, information, and much more.
Articles needing adoption require people to take on the task of reasearching, editing, revising, and more. Anyone can adopt an article. If you are unclear on which articles need adopting, don't hesitate to ask.
WikiProject Saskatchewan is pleased to announce that the Outreach Department has been established. It is designed to be a centralized location where we will work on recruitment and member interaction efforts. Thanks to WP:NV for the idea and codes.
Thanks
Thanks to WP:INO for some newsletter ideas and codes.
Looking forward toward more contributions from you! Happy Editing!!
Advertisements for recruitments within your WikiProject sub-groups are also welcome. If you see a new Saskatchewan created article by a Wikipedian who has not signed up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan, please extend a welcome to them. We'll run special sections, and recurring columns in the coming issues.
The Saskatchewan Roads Wiki Project has been merged within the scope of WikiProject Canada Roads recently. It is a group of wikipedians who work on providing information about Saskatchewan roads and highways. Their contributions gain more significance as we try to provide more information about our thoroughfares. You can help too. Contact the members on the Saskatchewan Roads wiki project pages to learn how you can help in making the best highway pages in Wikipedia!
Saskatchewan collaboration is another branch for the WikiProject Saskatchewan. First and foremost, to improve Wikipedia through the addition of new articles on notable Saskatchewan subjects and the improvement of existing articles.
An invition is extended to members / subscribers to design a new WP Sask newsletter name with its own banner or font style. This would give a similar appearance to the WP Sask newsletter as the Wikipedia community newsletter name the Signpost which used the old english font for its unique naming. A proposal could be offered up for our own Wiki Project name for the new WP Sask newsletter similar to....Star Phoenix, Leader Post, Herald, Booster, or Times Herald (which are already in use for SK newspapers)....Something is needed for the WP Sask Newsletter.
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 Subcribers
Sault Ste. Marie's population and economy may be in flux right now, but between the 2001 and 2006 censuses the city's population increased. Not by much, granted, but it did increase. Consequently, an article stating that the population is dropping is, by definition, out of date and not useful at the present time. Furthermore, an article of that type should be used as a source reference, when one is needed to back up statements of fact in the article, and not just as an external link. Bearcat04:55, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
2001 census population: 74,566. 2006 census population: 74,948. Increase of 382. Source: Canada 2006 Census. Nobody said anything about "one single person". And whether a city's population is increasing or decreasing is defined by comparing one census to the next, not by skipping censuses to compare any random two that suit your point.

You're free to second-guess Statistics Canada on your own time all you want. But per our no original research rules, you're not going to contradict or criticize StatsCan data in a Wikipedia article unless you can find an actual verifiable source to indicate that a media or public interest organization has openly criticized the data as inaccurate. The populations of Sudbury, North Bay and Thunder Bay also rose in the same period, so clearly something at least mildly encouraging is going on in Northern Ontario whether you can put your finger on it or not.

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Greg Felton, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. clpo1317:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The WikiProject Saskatchewan Newsletter aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and Saskatchewan Wikipedia / Wikimedia activity as known/reported.
Please comment about the formation of a new concept - a Saskatchewan Portal
Take a peek at the Canadian Portal. There are four provinces, BC, ON, PQ, and Nunavut. There are also four Canadian cities with portals of their own as well.
Portals are pages intended to serve as "Main Pages" for specific topics or areas. Portals may be associated with one or more WikiProjects; unlike WikiProjects, however, they are meant for both readers and editors of Wikipedia, and should promote content and encourage contribution.[1]
A unique concept by Portal India was to add a quiz as well India/Quiz
Portals introduce the Wikipedia reader to new developments by the wikiproject showing selected biographies, articles, pictures to feature periodically, and archive the previous suggestions. The portal may list information introducing the portal subject, categories, did you know, to do, other wikiprojects and news features as well.
Whereas Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan is an organization created to promote Saskatchewan usage and participation in Saskatchewan article editing and development.
As New articles are created check the wiki link at the bottom of the article title 'What Links Here. Here related articles and biographies are listed which should have reciprocal links or information upon the newly created main article page.
SuggestBot uses your prior contributions to predict other articles you might want to edit. This robot may give you some recommendations you may like to attempt. SriMesh | talk01:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Quite a few of the topics of debate have been addressed by visiting editors who have helped in various ways to address ongoing concerns. Requests for assistance with online existing Wikipedia Saskatchewan articles were given improvements / changes where needed.
Looking forward toward more contributions from you! Happy Editing!!
This would be WikiProject Saskatchewan's third full-fledged edition of our Newsletter, and we'd like to start by saying we are very happy to have you among us. Archives:

When looking through some Saskatchewan Highway articles (especially those containing intersection lists), you may notice that there are red links to potential Saskatchewan road articles (especially Range and Township Roads). However, many of these roads do not appear on the List of Saskatchewan provincial roads. If you happen to read over any highway articles, and you notice a red link to a road that does not appear on the provincial roads list, please add the road's name to the appropriate section on that list. Eventually, I believe that we will have a list of all known Saskatchewan rural roads. Thank you. Ultraflame | talk 01:35, 7 August 2007
There are still articles needing attention and please pick one at the Adopt-An-Article department of the the Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods project.
If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created or substantially expanded article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.|
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

A tag has been placed on SABER EL ROUBAY, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD a7.
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 article 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.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs23:10, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(i) WP:OR does not prevent the deletion of dubious information, (ii) the JDL is an extremist organization, (iii) Ezra Levant is not an objective or neutral source on this matter. I have little knowledge of Greg Felton, and from what I've seen I'm not at all impressed ... but I'm not going to have the page turn into a WP:BIO violation. CJCurrie03:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just reverted you changes to Nahr_al-Bared. In my opinion the word terrorist should be used with care, as it labels a group of people with a negative criticism that might not be supported by all the readers of wikipedia. For example, calling hippies "Weirdo's" might be true for most people, but there are also people who dont share that belief :)
I am not sure if you are aware, but comparing a hippie to weirdo is not similar to calling Fatah al Islam resistance. Fatah al Islam is an Al Qaida inspired organization which targeted and murdered hundreds of Lebanese civilians. Can you explain to me how you consider this resistance, and can you explain why the US State Dept. has added them to their terror list and why they are all either dead or in prison awaiting trial in Lebanon right now for their involvement in terrorism?
The opinion of the united states is not an absolute truth opinion. Many countries in the middle east will see Fatah Al Islam as a resistance group. If you seriously want to use the word terrorist, at least keep a neutral point of view by adding a reference. You could also think about changing the line to something that denoted that there is a specific group claiming that the group is terrorist. Dont get me wrong, i personally agree with you, but opinions don't matter on encyclopaedic content. --Excirial06:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What countries are you talking about, even Hezbollah considers them a terrorist organization??? The only ones who would consider them resistance are the enemies of Lebanon. I've never heard of a country supporting Fatah al Islam or calling them a legitimate resistance movement. They targetted Lebanese civilians. They were foreign fighters coming from Syria, Saudi Arabia, with Palestinians as well but who are they resisting and how do you figure people assume this of them, are you talking about Al Qaida? ;)--Eternalsleeper06:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, ok, i guess you are right. I was indeed referring to the enemies of Lebanon when i made my previous post. In all due honesty i expected that this was a mindless alteration without sources, as i see rather regular. Im not sure if its already done, but please add the link you provided to me as a reference next to the word terrorist, so that it remains a NPov article :) --Excirial06:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image copyright problem with Image:Godisprolifewashingtonrally.JPG
Thank you for uploading Image:Godisprolifewashingtonrally.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
It is my pleasure. I'll continue adding information as I have some friends in the neighboring village of Dahr El-Ain who will help me. youcroft13:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Youcroft[reply]
The Assessment Department is new. Please help to assess via quality and importance Saskatchewan articles by using the parent Canada wikiproject template{{WikiProject Canada |class= |importance= | sk=yes }} along with the Assessment guidelines.
See also wikiproject template for other work groups with their wikiprojects as well as provinces which can be added to the Canadian template
The new template and assessment table worklist is produced periodically and was created by Arctic Gnome. Thank you very much! Please take a moment to send an award or other recognition
New Template Saskatchewan
AT Bot requests, another very kind user has also offered to help with the transition process (Thank you also to Ρх₥α )
The request conglomerated together the following tasks to help show the quantity / quality of Saskatchewan related articles:
tag all articles in Category:Saskatchewan and all of its subcategories with {{WikiProject Canada |sk = | class=| importance=}}and if{{WikiProject Canada | class=| importance=}} already exists, then can just |sk=yes be added to the Canada template?
all articles which have a Saskatchewan related stub Saskatchewan-politician-stub / Saskatchewan-stub / Saskatchewan-geo-stub to be tagged in their talk pages for wikiproject Saskatchewan and be classified as stub as such: {{WikiProject Canada |sk =yes | class=stub| importance=}}
add GA or FA to to the class parameter of {{WikiProject Canada}} articles if any other template has such a parameter value on the talk page.
add stub to the class parameter if a stub tag is present on the article page.
Replace the old tag {{Saskatchewanproject}} with the new parent wikiproject tag: {{WikiProject Canada |sk =yes | class=| importance=}}and if{{WikiProject Canada | class=| importance=}} already exists, then can just |sk=yes be added to the Canada template?
add to the class area FL for any Featured-class lists articles if any other template has such a parameter value on the talk page.
add to the class area List if the Saskatchewan related item in category:Saskatchewan articles if any other template has such a parameter value on the talk page.
What's New?:Portal:Saskatchewan has a new section! This new section gives access to complete instructions on adding articles and images directly into the portal - step by step. The Saskatchewan Portal was created via instructions in creating a boxportal. Clicking the edit button on the main Saskatchewan Portal page does not help at all to add to the various sections as is usually the case with creation of wikipedia articles. The instruction page give immediate access to the transcluded pages which need to be accessed to change additions to the Saskatchewan Portal!
Please feel free to sign up as a Spotlight administrator and nominate more excellent and notable Saskatchewan editors on Wikipedia who deserve attention, and honour.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cheikhandhiswifebaby.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello. Your very first edit to this page (with your current username) was a large blind revert. I checked back several years. See this diff. Please make small edits at first on such a controversial page. And please participate on the talk page about your edits.
The page was stable for over 2 weeks until the latest revert war was started by Tewfik. The last stable version was the one edited by Tiamut. You blind-reverted Tiamut. Nobody who has followed Tewfik in these blind reverts has explained these large reversions. They only discussed some minor points, and consensus was reached on nearly all those minor points. The rest of the large blind reversion has not been discussed. This is not the way to improve wikipedia. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:29, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have nominated Greg Felton, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greg Felton. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Develop a bizzilion awesome articles about Saskatchewan so the WWW visitor is wowed by our province ( and survive those silly AFD tags!!! ) SriMesh | talk02:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Add your one or several Wikiproject New Years Resolutions here!
Develop quality articles. Increase the amount of good and Featured articles about Saskatchewan related content.
Develop top importance articles about Saskatchewan such as those about crown corporations. the provincial government and its several departments. From the Saskatchewan wiki meeting held back on 23 June 2007 it was discussed to develop an article on Health in Saskatchewan, and to improve to feature status articles: Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Regina.
The University of Saskatchewan became a good article to celebrate the 2007 anniversary of campus, and should now have a peer reveiw to continue on to becoming a feature article. The List of University of Saskatchewan alumni was developed to assist this article and help would be appreciated providing citations for each entry, and to help add to the list.
What's New?
What's New?: The new articles are now being identified by a robot, and new members are being invited. At Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/New articles please check out our new Saskatchewan related articles - of which there are an assorted variety numbering close to 50 new items since the last news letter!

Outreach
Create a Saskatchewan Roads and Highways outreach template to help new members become informed about the presence of this project online.
Highway Picture Template
Just as there is only one image needed for upload for Saskatchewan locator maps, and then various towns can be updated upon this image. So, too there should be a highway picture template, so that the various numbered highways 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914, etc can all have their own image without needing to create a bizzilion numbered images online.
2004 Election
Our 2004 Saskatchewan election has resulted in an amazing number of politician biographies coming online! This was an awesome achievement, and something to be proud of!
Qyd (talk·contribs) and Arctic.gnome (talk·contribs) are editors of a wide variety of Canadian related articles, and of note as of this date is the enormous amount of work they have undertaken to help amalgamate all the various provincial wikiprojects and Canadian sub projects into one umbrella assessment department. This unique assessment department means that Saskatchewan related articles can be assessed for their own provincial merit, and also belong to the Canadian wikiproject as well. It also means that editors from both Canada wikiproject and Saskatchewan wikiproject can unite in their efforts to provide banners and ratings to articles. This will result in a huge improvement in quality on wikipedia, resulting in Saskatchewan's spotlight award for Qyd (talk·contribs). January 2008 newsletter Please pop into the Spotlight Department and read all the brief introductory Wikipedia Saskatchewan bio. Congratulations are sent out to Qyd (talk·contribs)] and Arctic.gnome (talk·contribs) at this time.
Please feel free to sign up as a Spotlight administrator and nominate more 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.
Looking forward toward more contributions from you! Happy Editing!!
Just as panic begins to settle in as to what in the world the next newsletter should mention, new areas of development and growth come about. The coming year of 2008 should provide not only more Saskatchewan articles, but also more articles with higher ratings with the assistance of more editors, and a new assessment department umbrella. The highways and roads project has given a good base for development, and to strengthen the presence and notability of roads and highways and effort is being called upon to help these articles improve, now that they too are under the assessment umbrella.
If you've just joined, add your name to the Members section of Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!

Saskatchewan Roads and Highways
Saskatchewan Roads and Highways The WikiProject Canada Roads is undergoing an overhaul. It is aiming to produce some Good articles and Featured articles of highway content pertaining to Canada, and for the Saskatchewan Roads and Highways for Saskatchewan highways. As Saskatchewan is still a work in progress this is a challenging endeavour for as the guidelines are followed as laid out at either Highway wikiproject, they become red link farms because wikilinked articles have not been developed regarding the communities, provincial and regional parks and rural municipalities which the highways meander through. Please keep apprised of the progress, and if any Saskatchewan articles rise above stub we will list it on the main page.
There is also discussion started about assessment and navigation boxes on the talk page. Please peek in to add any comments you may have.
Recently articles Saskatchewan Highway 1, 33, 34, 58, 913, 914 have been improved, but they need more help so they can become articles nominated as Good articles. Please help out if you are able, even to create community and rural municipality articles for these Highway articles would be an enormous help.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Green Lane Masjid, 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Green Lane Masjid.

I've restored most of the material you removed but added some additional material in order to make things more balanced. I found two or three lines that did look like they were "cut and pasted" so I either removed them or reworded them. I left out the paragraph about the Star "ridiculing" the JDL and have put that on the Talk page for comments on whether or not it should be included and in what form.

There are currently about no Saskatchewan articles at WP:GAN waiting to be reviewed. :-( If you have not considerably edited one of the articles, you can perform a review by following these instructions.
There are currently no Saskatchewan related articles waiting to be assesed for feature article... :-( FACs.
Please help B class articles move into GA class and GA class articles move toward Feature status.
Add content to stub articles to improve their status.
In December there were over 797 articles which needed template changes from the original Saskatchewan talk page banner to the new Canada - provincial talk page banner. This has been completed!!!
Wikiproject Saskatchewan now has 0.5% FA articles 0.22% GA articles, about 5% B class articles, about 35% Start class articles and 68% stub class articles.
Saskatchewan related articles contribute 1,799 / 19,566 articles, or 9.19 % of Canadian related articles!!!
Please help to tag articles! On the assessment page are the actual articles listed which have been tagged with Canadian projects and Saskatchewan content. The result is...please, if you read this, help to tag Saskatchewan sports articles with both Saskatchewan, and Canadian sports project templates checked off as yes! Some sports articles may also need the appropriate general sports wikiproject talk template or a Wikiproject biography talk template as well.
There are 6 articles written which overlap both the 1850 tagged Saskatchewan and the 870 tagged Canadian Music articles.
Canadian Federal Government articles which relate to Saskatchewan are the following 14 articles, a couple of which are rated FA.
The most tagged articles are Saskatchewan communities. Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods comprise 551 articles - tagged with both the Saskatchewan communities and neighbourhoods template, as well as the new Canadian - provinces template.
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.

Why didn't you put a dispute tag on my photo in regards to the Syrian agents beating up Lebanese protestors? That was a great photo and now I can't find it again. It was a free use image, not good.
I'm not sure which image you're talking about because I delete hundreds of images every day that I do admin stuff (which is only like 4/7 days of the week, but it's still a lot of images). And I never delete any image that hasn't had some fair use dispute tag on it for at least 7 days. So if your image was free use, then someone made a mistake somewhere along the line and I got the impression that it was fair use. If you tell me the name of the image then I can restore it for you.

New highway change for Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan adopted the International metric system in 1971, and even though school trustees would like the imperial system returned to the classrooms, there is a new change intended for Saskatchewan. The latest news to hit the province of Saskatchewan is to adapt the new traffic directionality concept that Saskatchewan drivers will undertake. As of the beginning of the month, drivers will begin driving on the left side of the road rather than the right side. Which Side Of The Road To Drive On? Left Or Right For more information on changes to Saskatchewan Highways.
Prince Albert is one of the Saskatchewan city articles which has been growing by leaps and bounds. Many communities are being created and are picked up by the new article robot. Please help to tag these and all community articles with the new assessment talk page banner at Template:WikiProject Canada. *Stub class just barely introduces the topic, much is missing.

a particularly useful picture or graphic
multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
B-Class checklist
1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited.
2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies.
3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content.
4. It is free from major grammatical errors.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cheikhandhiswifebaby.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
