• Most Commonly Visited Pages
• :*To help keep Saskatchewan current and visited at wikipedia... The Beijing Olympics, Summer Games and athletes were amongst the most commonly visited wikipedia pages last month. It would be good to have articles about our Saskatchewan Olympic competitors started, upgraded, and tagged on the talk pages as belonging to SK wikiproject. As well as Saskatchewan competitors in the upcoming September paralympics. [http://www.sasksport.sk.ca/csc-sk/Beijing/athletes.html Saskatchewan at olympics]. Up and coming in the news is the international interest in the Arctic waters, and Greg Poelzer, associate professor of Political Studies has related that there will be growth in the Mining sector of northern Saskatchewan during this impetus.
