- List of Alberta provincial highways - update the highway shield on the list of acticles, and check for general issues
- Wrap up merger of Alberta Highway 11 & 11A and 28 & 28A next week
19:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC) Merges complete. All highways have shields, but some of the numbers line up funny or are getting cut off - a project for another day. I also haven't decided whether it should be listed under Alberta Highway 100 or Sherwood Park Freeway...

- Cadillac Ranch, by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?
- Write an article on Diavik Diamond Mine on Lac de Gras (ok, since it exists, check it out)
- Read Wikipedia's policy on links, and linking dates (WP:MOSNUM)
22:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Update the Canada section on Decolonization of the Americas with information from Canadian Confederation
19:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

- Add Paris Bridge Picture (French) to Wikipedia Commons, and add in correct spot to Haussmann's renovation of Paris
-
- However, several sections have been added to the French article, which could (should) be translated and added to the English article
- Review Canadian identity
- deleted (?) I'm looking into it. My clues are User:Kimchi.sg listed page and the deletion log 05:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Look into how a to-do list works

I figured out how to change my signature, so I added a little maple leaf behind my name now. Mr Minchin
I guess this is going out of fashion, but I think it's cool.
I should start the following pages in my own space, and then when I have something written, move them over to the main Wikipedia name space
- APEGGA
- PDT, and the other North American time zones
- Edmonton Convention Centre, which I believe is an old name for the Shaw Confrence Centre
- Edmonton Exhibition Grounds, which I belive is either Northlands, or part of it
I need to figure out how to add the coordinates to the title bar on various pages, and then go to town with that, too.

I should add Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA)

I discovered the fun of userboxes. Some of them crack me up! Maybe I went a little overboard with them... I'm not sure how to get them to lay out nicely. Suggestions?

A couple of thougths of things to write up include:
- Rewriting "Edmonton"
- Translating " Edmonton" into French (and back)
- adding CISN-FM 103.9 FM
- adding communities in Strathcona County, Alberta
- Review the University of Alberta page
Et, moi en français.

I suppose I should put up a little something, so here we go. Hope I can offer something useful.
Photo Gallery
Just an interesting photo I came across.
| Another featured image, but one I found poking about a phsyics navigation template. | |
| Again, a featured image, but it captures an essance that colour can't...and it seems rather haunting. | |
| This was actually a featured image, but it shows sururbia so well. | |

Userbox Gallery
I've played around with Wiki code a little bit, and in the process, created a few of my own Userboxes.
| Code | Result | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| {{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Canadian English}} |
| ||
| {{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Pi}} |
| ||
| {{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Love Farmers}} | |||
| {{User:Mr_Minchin/Userboxes/User_Parrallel_Universe}} |
| ||
| {{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Crazy Frog}} |
|
I must admit that the Pi one is not my own creation...someone (or some bot) must of subst: it onto my page, so I just recreated it as a template. Crazy Frog was another one I found along the way.
The farmers one and the universe one are more bumper stickers than Userboxes, but it's fun to play and learn the wiki.
