Current focus project
The Newfoundland Resettlement program was probably one of the most controversial programs ever undertaken in Newfoundland which has touched the lives of many people. Those memories are still very fresh for many people. Let's say we work together to create an article that will rise to feature article status.

Here are some resource areas for reference.
 * Maritime History Archive
 * The Canadian Encyclopedia
 * Newfoundland Heritage
 * Community Listing at NGB
 * Canadafirst.net A site we can use for context as it has no references given

Pages that need work

 * Sir William Coaker - Needs additional work.
 * Fish, Food and Allied Workers Union - New article
 * Newfoundland Rangers
 * Royal Newfoundland Regiment - Needs more history from 1795-1914
 * Henry Medley - Needs more rounding out
 * Corner Brook - Needs more information and a citation or two.
 * Carbonear - Needs more information
 * Newfoundland and Labrador - This page is in hard shape and it is obviously the most important page, it almost needs to be entirely rewritten.
 * Skeet (Newfoundland), if there's some way to get an image without undue OR or risk of libel, a visual depiction of this subculture would help the article a lot
 * Water Street (St. John's)
 * Cabot Tower (St. John's)

Pages that need the hand of an expert

 * Newfoundland English
 * Music of Newfoundland and Labrador
