- Shanemcd (talk · contribs) has contributed to the organization of which placenames are town, villages, hamlets, etc by going above and beyond the call of duty. Sorting out List of communities in Saskatchewan and the various section lists have shown significant improvements. Consistency and attention to detail on the various incorporation dates, and status of the many and several communities is producing more accurate lists for visitors to wikipedia viewing Saskatchewan articles. This provides an improvement in quality on wikipedia and so a large thank you goes out to Shanemcd at this time.
- So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else to Saskatchewan related articles, why don't you give them a reward to show your gratitude?
