I would use your "Wierd" userbox, because I am weird, but since you misspelled it I can't. Please fix it, or if the error was intentional, please make and release to the public a version with "weird" spelled correctly.
Thank you for the work you did on the military section. Nice job.
I was wondering if you would be interested in helping to finish up and refine the outline.
The things left to do include:
Filling in the blanks – some items have blanks that need to be filled, like with the President's name, etc.
Bluelink the redlinks – for many of the redlinked topics, coverage exists somewhere in sections of articles. Section redirects or section links with pipes can be used to complete the links.
Harvest relevant links (especially lists) from the encyclopedia – this can be done by
Searching ("intitle:" comes in handy for this)
Browsing articles, lists, categories, etc.
Fix the error in the reference section.
Flesh out the blatantly incomplete sections, such as the History section.
I noticed you are a participant of the WikiProject Quebec.
The
Outline of Quebec was created a few days ago and is under vigorous development. It fills a gap in
Wikipedia's set of outlines. It is the 3rd outline to date about a Canadian province/territory.
Once the
Outline of Quebec is completed, it will provide an important example to others creating outlines for the remaining provinces and territories of Canada.
Please take a look at the outline to see if you can notice (and fill in) any missing topics. Pictures would also be nice (the rarer and the more interesting, the better).
P.S.: Offiikart, above is the request I sent to everybody in the Quebec WikiProject. I thought you might like to read it. I hope they will join in and help.
Welcome to the Outlines WikiProject!
Offiikart, I'm glad you've joined up.
The project's goal is to build an outline for every major subject, while maintaining and improving those that already exist. This is a big undertaking.
But the benefits will be worth it. The outline system has the potential to become the best knowledge navigation tool in the world. Searches can take you only so far. A comprehensive map or table of contents of knowledge (which is what the outline system is when you hook all the outlines together) shows that which searches miss.
It's a wide-open territory, man. Since it is still in its infancy, we have the privilege of defining this thing. The core that we are developing will become the model that future participants shall base their work on.
So let's improve it so that it is ready when it achieves critical mass!
Salut,
Ne t'en fait pas trop avec la liste des réservoirs et barrages. Utilise plutôt
List of electrical generating stations in Quebec qui est complète et sourcée. Pour ce qui est de la section Energy de l'article
Quebec, je l'ai arrangée le mois dernier. Je vais aller ajouter quelques détails dans cette section d'ici peu, mais si ton objectif est le GA, il faut se rappeler que les anglos préfèrent les articles plus courts que ce qu'on a sur fr. Alors, limitons la taille des sections (d'ailleurs l'article
Québec est beaucoup trop long...)...
Pour aller plus loin, il faudrait créer
Energy in Quebec, mais ça, ça veut dire qu'il me faudra d'abord réviser mon article
Énergie au Québec pour ensuite le traduire en anglais. Grosse job, surtout que je suis présentement sur
Projet de la Baie-James et tous les articles reliés (et éventuellement une version anglaise).
Enfin, je suis très content de savoir qu'on a un autre Québécois qui est prêt à travailler sur le thème Québec dans la WP en anglais. N'hésites pas à me contacter pour un petit coup de main.

Je suis allé lire la section
Economy et elle a besoin d'un peu de travail. J'ai commencé hier, mais je suis assez occupé avec les pinceaux et les rouleaux dans ma cuisine. Je connais le jargon (30 crédits en économique font ça à tous ceux qui sont exposés :)). Ne te surprends pas de voir la section changer de poil au cours de la fin de semaine...

Je ne suis pas surpris outre mesure. Effectivement, les citations sont incomplètes en plus de ne pas être formatées correctement. Personnellement, j'aime bien {{harvnb}} et les cite book {{cite article}}{{cite news}} et {{cite web}}. Ça prend un peu de temps à s'habituer, mais c'est plus efficace et les reviewers aiment ça... Je peux aller formater quelques dizaines de références pour toi si ça te va, question de te partir. Pour ce qui est de l'écriture de la section "History" par contre ça pose le problème de l'historiographie anglophone vs francophone. Je suis un peu équipé en français, mais je n'ai rien en anglais.

Long time no see. I am very glad to see you are still active on Wikipedia.
I was wondering if I could talk you into adopting Outline of Quebec as your maintenance and development project. Wikipedia's coverage of Quebec changes and grows, and the outline needs to be updated over time to keep up with it. Also, the outline is a work-in-progress (incomplete), and there is much room for improvement (such as adding missing links, pictures, etc.) For picture support, compare with Outline of Iceland, Outline of France, and Outline of Japan. Will you add Outline of Quebec to your watchlist and drop in on it from time to time to refine and maintain it? I believe you are the perfect person to care for Quebec's outline. I look forward to your reply.

Hello Trans, I would really love to answer yes to your question but im extremely busy in real life for now so I'm not really active on wiki. But, be sure that the two pages I check when logging in, even if its not often, are
Quebec and the
Outline of Quebec :) (and both are already on my WL). I'll take some time here and there to keep things right and up-to-date but I wont be a leader in this project as much as I was last summer. Thanks for thinking of me for this job! ^^
Well, that makes you the de facto main caretaker (I'm spread even thinner than you - across 534 outlines). Whatever effort you can muster is fine by me. By the way, there's a specific question I'd like to ask you... The religion portion of Outline of Quebec#Culture of Quebec is mostly redlinks. Where is the relevant information to which we can provide piped links to? The corresponding Canada-level articles? Please take a look. Thank you. And as always, I look forward to your reply.
The Transhumanist20:02, 5 October 2011 (UTC)reply
Thank you, I'll do my best. About the religious question, no, it is not a good idea to use the Canadian content to represent Quebec because it doesn't. Quebec is special on that question mostly because of two things :
Quebec is a catholic province as opposed to the other provinces which are mostly protestant.
Due to a lot of abuses, the Church in Quebec was pushed out of public institutions during the Quiet Revolution (60s'), was marginalised and criticized. A lot of people are still practicant but it is rare to make it public. This also explains the lack of information about this topic in wiki and my personnal lack of motivation to add it to Quebec-related topics.
ps. I saw the newest proposal for deletion of outlines and I went trough it. As always, I like pretty much the professionalism you show and the patience you have. Your writing skills are much appreciated to defend that important cause. I gave my vote (opposed) and refered to your comments as an explanation, is that ok for you? --
OffiikartTalk20:34, 5 October 2011 (UTC)reply
I wasn't aware of that about Quebec. Interesting. Mostly, I was thinking about links like these:
Each of the x in Canada religion articles mention Quebec and usually give the population figures and where the main concentration of the religion's people in Quebec are. Judaism in Canada redirects to History of the Jews in Canada, which mentions Quebec, Quebec City, and Montreal several times. And Roman Catholicism in Canada mentions Quebec quite a bit.
Please select whichever of the links above you think have relevant-enough information, and add them to the outline (as you have time). Leave out whichever ones you feel are not helpful.
Thank you for your kind words concerning outlines. It's nice to know someone appreciates my efforts.
I blued the global title "religion in quebec" using the "religion in canada" link which is interesting for all the stats, facts and comparisons between religions, etc. I deleted the other links which would all have led to the same canadian link on which one can compare the presence of all religions in quebec. Also, considering that religions in general and especially those that were listed do not cover "Quebec" specificity in a relevant way, I think it would be better to let this section like this. If I find articles (or parts) about Catholicism in Quebec (or articles on less relevant religions but really speaking about them within Quebec), I'll add them.
My bad, I guess I went quickly on these pages and didn't look carefully. I like the way you placed religion-related topics in the outline. The other religions had their place there so I added all the links.

Traffic to
Outline of James Bond stayed the same (though it was at the higher-level already), which leads me to suspect changes made somewhere in Wikipedia.
I can't determine the actual cause for that augmentation of traffic, the portal page itself wasn't modified in the last year and excepted for the upcoming 23rd movie, I see no news in James Bond's world that correlates with this affluence. The traffic has also augmented a bit on the James Bond article but not significantly compared to the augmentation seen on the portal. However, the augmention on the portal is not that significant because even if it doubled, it only passed from ~40 to ~80 views which is not a lot and could possibly be due to a couple of people only who decided to re-start writing. Sorry for the lack of help =) Have a good wikitime!
OffiikartTalk23:57, 5 October 2011 (UTC)reply
But it is a significant proportion of increase. It doubled, while
James Bond and
Outline of James Bond stayed the same. And it stayed doubled. Even if the doubling was from a single change that increased it a mere 40 page views per day, it would be worthwhile to know what type of link placement tactic that was, because you might be able to multiply it. With multiple placement for a single page, 100 placements = 4,000 more page views per day. Or if the tactic can be applied to all outlines, at just one link per each, that's 533 x 40 page views per day = 21,320 more page views per day. I want that traffic! :)

I've run across a number of these over the years. One example is the
Outline of fencing, which used to be part of the
fencing article.
If you know about or spot any structured general topics lists in articles, please let me know (on my talk page).
Another thing you might find are articles that are comprised mostly of lists (without "Outline of" or "List of" being in the article's title). If you come across any of these, please report them to me on my talk page. I'd sure like to take a look at them.

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the
current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Hi,
Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on
Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like
The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as
The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --
