Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/Saskatchewan

Welcome to the Saskatchewan Roads WikiProject.

Scope
Our purpose is to organize all the Saskatchewan roads & highways. They don't seem to get enough attention. It is simple. You create stubs, expand, then use templates and graphics.

 * 1955
 * 1955 Canadian road map
 * 1967 and 1989 commercial maps
 * 1920s numbers
 * Search directions to and from on google maps or mapquest to find route and junctions and distances
 * SK tourism has the government provincial maps in pdf format marked between red triangles with red kilometre distances, and between junctions in black kilometre distances.
 * mile by mile
 * Unofficial Saskatchewan highways website

 * Large roaside attractions or Big things of Saskatchewan or CA historic sites and monuments
 * sask Biz are community profiles submitted by the communities and RMs to the provincial government and they will sometimes discuss transportation and / or economy of their area, as will the local Regional Economic Development Authority REDA.

 * our roots nos racines may have the local history book which may give the early highway beginnings (when the highway ran on "the square") and the early involvement of the rural municipality before the department of highways was formed.
 * googling or searching the highway name may give CA and/or SK government news releases of federal or provincial funding and construction history and proposals for the highway regarding twinning, renaming to a main corridor route name etc.

Goals
Our goal right now is to create articles related to the Saskatchewan highway network. To make these goals easier to accomplish, this page is divided into phases.

Phases of Project
We are currently in Phase 1 of the project. Please consult the tasks section to see your list of duties.


 * 1) Stub Creation, 1 paragraph or less is fine. Don't forget to add stub templates!
 * 2) Stub Expansion, add some details, a few more sentences to a whole paragraph.
 * 3) Further Review, expansion, add a paragraph or two.
 * 4) Final expansion, Images and templates to spruce article up.
 * 5) Patrol.

Contest Department
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article.This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

You may want to enter the ongoing contest to earn awards!! Current Focus: Please improve these primary highway articles to good and feature article status. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Canada_Roads/Saskatchewan articles listed here as they have the most notability in Saskatchewan.


 * Example articles which have been worked on longer than some of the others: Saskatchewan Highway 913, Saskatchewan Highway 1 Trans Canada, Saskatchewan Highway 11 Louis Riel Trail, Saskatchewan Highway 58, Saskatchewan Highway 16 Yellowhead or Section of CanAm Highway Saskatchewan Highway 39

Showcase selected highway articles
Portal Saskatchewan Selected Highway  has been established to showcase the finer Saskatchewan highway articles. Instructions for Portal additions. As an article is adopted, please add highways of better quality to this section. It would be awesome, if all articles at some time would be feature class or Good Status articles.

Article Content Considerations
Canadian Highway notability guidelines Talk

Try to add these sections to an article: If a road/highway may contain appropriate information but has not been developed add under that section heading:   If no information is available delete the section heading.


 * 1) To contribute or to know which Highways, or Roads to adopt click on the list of highways or list of roads, and any article that has a  red  link should be adopted or added please.
 * 2) Add this substitution template... into your article page and save.' This template was created with help from standards set by several WikiProjects and WikiProject Biography Just follow these 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article

This will also have several variations óf the template to add a 'highway shield to junction boxes and to infoboxes.
 * 1) Fill in the sections for your chosen Saskatchewan Highway and save.
 * 2) Add the appropriate WP templates and ratings to the talk page.

Infoboxes
Infobox projectname
 * e.g.

 There is a new template being used for example Saskatchewan Highway 914:
 * Use Infobox road infobox template for your new article creations. See an example in use at Highway 19  There are instructions for how to fill in the fields at Infobox road

Stub templates

 * e.g.
 * The current stub being used on Saskatchewan road articles is Canada-road-stub. If we find that we need a new stub to differentiate, then we can always change them. -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 20:52, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
