[edit] Bridges
I see you've been working on several articles about bridges in Saskatoon and elsewhere in Canada. If you're interested, you might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Bridges, which is a project to standardize articles about bridges and improve the quality of those articles. I've been working on Minnesota bridges as part of the project (although I should probably take a break; I've probably edited about 40 bridge articles today.) Check it out! --Elkman - (talk) 03:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
I fixed up the Victoria bridge article and will do the other in the next day or two. Thanks for the tip. --M@sk 00:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Saskatoon bridges
Good work so far on the bridges articles. Please take a moment to make note of changes I and others have made regarding grammar and spelling in the articles. Assuming that you will be creating articles on each bridge, please note that I have added one bridge to the list at the main Saskatoon article -- the Grand Trunk rail bridge -- plus the Idylwyld Bridge was renamed the Sidney L. Buckwold Bridge about 6 years ago so I have changed this accordingly in the article. Cheers. 23skidoo 06:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the additions and edits. It will probably be a few days before they all apear but that was my plan. --M@sk 00:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
Please don't apply Category:Saskatchewan to articles that are already in subcategories such as Category:Universities and colleges in Saskatchewan — the whole idea behind subcategories is to keep them as uncluttered as possible by only applying the narrowest appropriate categories, rather than some recursive stack of duplicated categories. Bearcat 02:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sports in Saskatchewan
Can you improve/edit/update this new article please? Sports in Saskatchewan I see you have edited articles about Griffiths Stadium in SK. TXS SriMesh | talk 06:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

There are now images in a gallery on the talk page of this article. If they are of any use in the article... I noticed you were adding info to airline articles...SriMesh | talk 05:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Forestry Farm Park and Zoo
I don't have any good photos as of the moment, but t'would make a wonderful trip this week-end. 'Tis fun to put photos of Saskatoon online, some better than others, but I enjoy it. Digital cameras are fun. Will contact you after I pop out there. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 04:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
