ALocation map for Saskatchewan has been created, so the placename coordinates for new places are added to the template, and no need to upload a new image map for each place...seeSimpson for an example of its use.
13.Notable people - Names of notable people born, previously resided in, or residing in the community. Includeonly people with a Wikipedia article, see alsoWP:NLIST.Note: Larger cities, with possibly thousands of notable individuals, usually do not include such a list, but may have a separate article ([[List of notable people from ...]]) that can be linked.
Closing sections should include:
14.See also - Related Wikipedia articles, if not already detailed in other sections
Coordinates - use{{Coord|display=title|region:CA_type:city}} to geo-tag articles, but only if not already presented in infobox
Categories - don't over-categorize
Stub tags - for new short pages that should be subsequently expanded, seeavailable stub tags
¹For larger cities, this should be little more a link to a separate "Media of City" article. This section should only list media which arelocally based.
To get an article tofeatured article status, make sure to follow these steps to ensure all articles we submit toFeatured article candidates meet the FA criteria. All of these apply to almost any good article, so keep them in mind when editing even outside ofSaskatchewan articles. The suggestions are:
I.
Write a good lead. Be sure to write alead that concisely summarizes the entire article into one or two paragraphs which make sense to someone who may know nothing about the subject.
II.
Use good spelling and grammar. This is a very important aspect of an article. Many browsers support spell checking.
III.
Use footnotes. Take advantage of the footnote ability Wikipedia has, instead of including html links inside the context include them as footnotes. SeeWikipedia:Footnotes on how to use them.
IV.
Use images if possible. Images enhance articles greatly, but only use them when they are necessary, and ensure that their copyright status has been specified and we are allowed to use it on Wikipedia. SeeWikipedia:Images for more information.
V.
Use references. This is an encyclopedia, so remember to include a ==References== section listing websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you used to write the article. An article will not get accepted as a featured article candidate if it is missing references. SeeWikipedia:Verifiability,Wikipedia:Cite_sources andWikipedia:References.
VI.
Stay on topic. Many articles are criticized for length; sticking to the subject matter helps eliminate this.
VI.
Keep it simple. Remember that the average reader should be able to comprehend the erudition. Although you should use a broad vocabulary of regular, non-technical terms, do not provide such a quantity of locutions as to impel those who aspire to derive serviceable information from the article to consult a dictionary.
VII.
Usecommon sense. You should know whatperfect articles look like. They cover everything they should without going on forever. Common sense could have told you almost all of the items mentioned above. Ultimately,assume good faith,bebold, and go out there and write some goodSaskatchewan community articles.
