Tasks

Assessment Department

This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Vancouver and GVRD articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

History

1. History of Vancouver -- needs post 1900 history, citing reliable sources.

Some stuff in the lead section needs to moved to their own sections and fleshed out. The history needs more references and footnotes. A couple of more pictures (artisans, cement factory, Emily Carr Institute) would help.

Needs development and more sections. Also requires an infobox and a map. Has 3 Pics but could use some diversity Little Mountain entry is somewhat parallel but is a geographic feature and old neighbourhood name as opposed to a park||User:Sir Studieselot Sea Island, British Columbia Jul 02 06 Start class Map Good for now. Lacks a picture and an infobox. User:Sir Studieselot Tri-Cities (British Columbia) Jun 21 06 not yet assessed No User:Skookum1 Victory Square Jun 21 06 Start class Pic Just expanded with more history, links to VPL/BC Arch photos of old courthouse; more text to come on 1990s "renewal" and "Victory Square" as a neighbourhood User:Skookum1 Westham Island, British Columbia Jun 21 06 not yet assessed No User:Skookum1 Westwood Plateau Jun 21 06 Stub Pic Very basic start to article. Needs to be expanded or merged, as right now it doesn't say very much. Some history of the area would help, especially about the old raceway that was pushed out by the development.
