To-do list for Manitoba:

✔ I am hoping to do a better job on the Winnipeg Flood of 1950. Does anyone have pictures available to make the section a little more encompassing? jdobbin 23:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC) Not done

✔ * I just had occasion to refer to the article Geography of Manitoba. While parts of it are well done, section # 3. "Landscape past and present" needs work. I worked on the 1st paragraph a bit but the whole section needs to be rethought to be more geographic and inclusive of the whole province. Any geography buffs reading this; take a look. If you have a minute, please check the section in question. Thanks in advance! --Stormbay 02:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Done

✔ Somehow, Manitoba is a featured article in the Spanish Wikipedia. Could someone who speaks spanish, or at least understands it come and improve this article using information from the Spanish Wikipedia? Thanks! GrooveDog 14:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Not done

3 new provincial natural symbols[edit]

Manitoba now has three new natural symbols link found here that includes the fish (walleye), ungulate (plains bison), and grass (big bluestem). I will likely add these categories in but also want people's opinions. Will this be cluttersome now that there are 6 species, or do we create a new section? Thoughts?

For now I have updated List of Canadian provincial and territorial symbols, which in fact is likely the way it should stay. Krazytea(talk) 18:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
