*I came across this, but it seems nobody is here! I'm going to look up all the Canadian Wikipedians and ask them to join up. [[User:Neutrality|[[User:Neutrality|<b>Neutrality</b>]] ([[User talk:Neutrality|hopefully!]])]] 03:49, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

**About time. I'm on hand to help if I can, but as I'm not Canadian, I don't have the knowledge at hand to draw up to-do lists. [[User:Ambi|Ambi]] 07:04, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

**Hell...some of us didn't know this existed! [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 03:02, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've borrowed this from the Irish wikepedian's page. If you're Canadian, or think you might be, you can add your name here.

In the county, the population was spread out with 28.70% under the age of 18, 11.20% from 18 to 24, 30.80% from 25 to 44, 18.70% from 45 to 64, and 10.60% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 31 years. For every 100 females there were 121.40 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 130.20 males.

==A few suggestions==

The median income for a household in the county was $24,504, and the median income for a family was $26,578. Males had a median income of $23,810 versus $16,498 for females. The [[per capita income]] for the county was $16,069. About 24.50% of families and 29.00% of the population were below the [[poverty line]], including 36.20% of those under age 18 and 30.40% of those age 65 or over.

There are some utility links in Wikipedia space that may be helpful to us if we want to try to coordinate our efforts.

* [[Wikipedia:List of lists]] and [[Wikipedia:List of lists/uncategorized]] may be helpful in catching and categorizing Canada-related lists.

* [[Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics]] is a list of suggested articles that haven't been created yet. I haven't systematically gone through them all (there's 78 pages worth!), but just on casual scanning I have caught some Canadian articles in the list. Maybe if we each volunteer to go through one page at a time...?

* [[Special:Allpages]] is an even nastier piece of work, but it might help to catch Canadian-related articles that haven't been categorized. Again, maybe if we each volunteer to go through one page at a time, it might be easier for everyone.

* It might also be worth starting a list of Canada-related topics that haven't been written up, if anybody wants to do that. Maybe just a barebones list on which people can add any redlinks they come across (or create) but don't feel knowledgeable enough (or interested enough) to write up themselves...?

Any other ideas? [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 03:34, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

* I'd like to see some work on having all the communities in Canada eventually completed. A very big project indeed, but still an important one. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 21:19, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

** I'd actually like to see [[User:Rambot|Rambot]] eventually accomplishing that task. [[User:Denelson83|Denelson83]] 22:26, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

*** hmmm... Rambot has its flaws. Although I would not be opposed to the idea, I think user generated articles are far more superior. (obviously). However we could use it to put demographic information on existing pages. There is also the issue of uninocporated communities which need articles, and there are many of them. Especially in Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 22:48, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

** No matter if we go the bot route or not, lots of communities need things beyond bare statistics; a claim to fame or a slice of the atmosphere elevate such an article beyond dull stubdom. Official sites are a start; Googling, checking travel guides and gazetteers, or a remembered impression of a visit can add that extra touch to even the smallest town's entry. [[User:Radagast|Radagast]] 01:48, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

*** The bot route can be a ''start'', to get ''something'' in there quickly, and then somebody can go in, clean up and add stuff. It doesn't necessarily have to be either/or. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 05:36, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

**Would it be possible to come up with a list? For Australia, we now have a list in a subpage of every federal MP and Senator without a page. If Canada has the same, maybe I can help in a couple of months. [[User:Ambi|Ambi]] 04:01, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
