Things you can do

Could this section, which contains the collaboration of the week please be moved down so its above other Wikiportals and can be the full width of the page. It doesn't fit well for 800x600. Much thanks. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 05:26, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

That's not how the other wikiportals do it. Earl Andrew 06:48, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Granted, but the other Wikiportals don't look very good as a result. If one wants to revert my change, ok, but that would require making the flag smaller in order for it to fit... and I think that is unnecessary and everything looks good as is. The blank spot can be filled in with something else when its been decided what it will be. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 20:55, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

We could just make a compact version of that box for use on this page? Circeus 01:53, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Current events

Can't we have a current events/news section featuring the Canadian news? --Circeus 16:22, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

There is already a Canadian current events page. Could simply link to the page and copy the most recent ongoing event (right now, the Hockey dispute, the Same-sex marriage debate, etc.) - Sepper 16:53, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I know, I was actually refering to it. I meant something closer to In the News, which could also (and, by joves, should) include at least the more obvious Current events. We could also consider current leaders and upcoming events. Such a section could fill the too long space below the Wikiproject section. Alternatively, it could instead push down the categories and wikiprojects sections. Circeus 20:11, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

Well, it's a good idea, IF it gets updated. Looks like it isn't... Radagast 18:58, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

The current Canadian Current events portal on wikipedia is now a tabbed page of the Canadian portal. SriMesh | talk 03:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Not displaying correctly in IE6 on Windows XP

I've looked at this and nothing pops out immediately as to the cause. The Canadian current events page is included, and it shows the Template:Current events box infobox on the right. However, at least using IE6 on Windows XP (don't know if the problem is seen on other browser/OS combinations) the infobox does not display (although the space where it should be displayed seems to be in the layout since the text doesn't display there.) Anyone else having this problem? —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 18:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Everything seems to be okay when I compared it using Firefox & IE7...—G.He 01:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Question

Is there anyone who wishes to work with me on the Order_of_Canada article? Thanks. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 23:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

New

New article: Ukrainian Canadian internment (just made it to the Main Page in DYK!), new category: Category:Ukrainian Canadians. —Michael Z. 2005-09-2 20:36 Z

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kenton Keith

Could somebody take a look at this and spice it up some? I did what I could based on Google. Lots of Google hits call him the best runner in the CFL, but several also talk about his bad attitude, but I couldn't get any hits to explain what he does that gives him that reputation, other than bad-mouthing Saskatchewan. Though one place talked about off-field behavior. User:Zoe|^(talk) 00:02, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Yves Séguin

Somebody should have a look at the article Yves Séguin. It is not clear to me whether he was minister of Canada or minister of Quebec or both or neither. Thanks, AxelBoldt 04:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada

Hey everyone. I've just reorganized the project page for the creation of a Wikimedia Canada local chapter. If you guys could find a way to integrate this link somewhere in the portal, I'd be more than grateful : ) Come check it out! Stéphane Thibault 07:24, 10 January 2006 (UTC) ^Bla

You have done a wonderful start up of this project. I added a link to Wikimedia Canada at the Wikimedia section of the portal with a new image to draw attention to it. Good luck with everything! SriMesh | talk 20:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
