Rockwell

Hey, I'm sorry Four Freedoms (Norman Rockwell) didn't go well. I thought you were making good progress with the FAC. After I saw it, I realized it's been a while since you tried an RFA. Do you still have any interest in running that other gauntlet? Happy new year, too! Gimmetrow 05:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

RFA isn't just about vandals. Would any admin tools help you maintain articles or manage WP:Chicago? Gimmetrow 06:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Washington Park Subdivision

The second and third paragraphs in the Legal issues section are probably about the same case—Hansberry v. Lee. Though I can not read ref [6]. However two other cases that preceded Hansberry v. Lee may deserve attention: Burke v. Kleiman (decided in the Illinois Supreme Court in 1934) and Corrigan v. Buckley (dismissed by the US Supreme Court in 1926 for the want of jurisdiction). The Burke v. Kleiman is the most interesting case, because a plaintiff in it was Olive Ida Burke, who was the wife of Mr. Burke—a defendant in Hansberry. Corrigan is also interesting, because the covenants started to proliferate after the Supreme Court upheld their constitutionality by dismissing this lawsuit (see [1] for details).

Re:Jennifer Brunner GAR

Wow... how is it not apparent that the peeps at GAR do not find any POV? I mean, that's heir #1 problem! In fact, after reading the GAR, I think I was too kind on the review. The peeps said it all, but I will add a little something to it. Leujohn ^(talk) 05:52, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Are you assuming that I have no intent to help the article? I hope you don't. By the way, I don't even live in USA. Leujohn ^(talk) 06:05, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Featured topic - articles to be expanded

Hey Tony,

Hope your New Years and Christmas were merry and bright. Taking a look at Washington Park Court District, hmm. We need this, I think its the landmark nomination or documentation, which would have some info on things of an architectural nature most assuredly. Can you get that? From the Landmark Commission maybe? If you can, and then scan it in and email it to me, I could use it to expand the article. I am finding some info, I think, on Google Books. Give me a few minutes to look some of what I am finding over and I will compile some sources on the article's talk page. I will also see what I can do about Schulze Baking Company Plant, I should be able to dig up some good info on that one. --IvoShandor (talk) 19:48, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Is the bot that covers Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Article alerts offline?

It doesn't appear this page is being updated regularly do we know if the bot who maintains it might be offline, not working etc. -Marcusmax(speak) 23:57, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Ya i wasn't quite sure if that was normal or not, im not much of a bot expert. Anyways thanks -Marcusmax(speak) 00:04, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Next time it would be smart of me to check there first, thanks again. -Marcusmax(speak) 00:07, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Fort Dearborn move

The Fort Dearborn article was moved yesterday without discussion. I've put out a request to have it moved back to its original location. As you've edited the Fort Dearborn article in the passed, please weigh in on the discussion on the current Fort Dearborn talk page. Shsilver (talk) 13:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Does this edit cram the "edit" button on your computer?

(Here?) On mine, the "edit" button is directly to the left of the column with the two templates. Just tips me hat but then 〜on thought bows deeply … 00:23, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

• How about now? Just tips me hat but then 〜on thought bows deeply … 00:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Template:fixBunching says stacking templates causes some browsers to experience "bunched up and dislocated section edit links (normally some of these will be displaced down the page—frequently well down the page— and several will occur on the same line)."(!) So whenever templates are stacked we should remember to avail ourselves of this handy fix. It says its "fixBunching" name and discreet placement "prevents its being overlooked" (compared to the curlybeginningbracket-pipe, pipe-template, pipe-hyphen, pipe-template, pipe-curlyendbracket, going down the line when using instead wikitable markup). Just tips me hat but then 〜on thought bows deeply … 01:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Blowout (sports)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Some deletionists are hilarious. Xasodfuih (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Blowout (sports)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Blowout (sports), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Already in wikitionary. I see no need for a separate article for this word.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Quick question

Hi there, I was wonder what the reason for changing Election Day to election day? Is it being used as a different part of speech? Sorry for what is probably a stupid question but I have no clue. Thanks and Here's the Diff §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:43, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Washington Park Court

Would you happen to have a photograph of the sign I could draw from? If not, I can estimate it based on the Rush St. one, but I'm not sure how accurate it would be. Thanks. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 05:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Saxbe fix in the GA list(s)

Originally you've submitted it under politics and government, so I've first added it to that section of the giant GA list after passing it, but constitutional law is perhaps more appropriate, so I've put it there too. I don't know if this is likely to cause any problems (e.g. double counting by bots). Please fix as necessary. Xasodfuih (talk) 00:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Michelle

Hey Tony - hope my edit summaries from last night didn't sound snippy - I was just trying to pack info into a too short space, way too late at night. Also hope you saw my comment on the talk page - more than happy to talk about it all. Looking forward to continuing to work with you to improve this article - we're going to have lots of good sources and I am certain a wealth of quality material to add as this next phase begins. Cheers Tvoz/talk 18:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Julius Franks

The article Julius Franks you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Julius Franks for things needed to be addressed. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:30, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it looks a lot better now; I have passed the article. WRT the other two articles, I will look at them tomorrow. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

GANs...

Hi Tony! Thanks for the note on my talk page :) I don't remember doing any football articles, but I could have just forgotten; I'll have to take a look through my archives! Yes, I tend to bounce around quite a bit - makes things more interesting that way. I stopped reviewing for a while and didn't realize what a large backlog had built up - right now I'm trying to work my way through a bunch of the articles that are still there from November and early December...no matter what the subject... I'm working my way down the Social sciences and society list right now, so I should get to your politics articles in a few days unless someone else grabs them first.

We are forced to manually update because the DYK bot is broken. The original programmer left and Nixeagle was nice enough to take the bot. After it was turned over to Nixeagle, it developed bugs which are being worked on. Royalbroil 04:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

GA review of Byron Brown

Hello - I have reviewed Byron Brown, which you listed at the Good Article nominees page. My review of the article can be found here. As you can see, I've raised quite a few issues with the article. Before you panic/become depressed/burn me in effigy, though, here are some things to bear in mind:

• The points I raise are not necessarily all things that need to be addressed before I list it as a GA. Instead, they are things that I think could improve the article. In my view, the actual GA status is of secondary importance in the GA process; what's more important is improving the article, and I think that goal is best served by making as many suggestions as possible.
• In my experience, I'm among the most stringent GA reviewers out there, especially in the "well-written" category, where I tend to review GA and FA candidates in essentially the same way. Again, I do this because I think it's best for the article; however, if you think the points I've raised are too nit-picky or minor and you'd rather not address them, I may be willing to promote the article without them all being addressed.
• The opinions I express in my GA reviews are just that - my opinions (I also express some things, like grammatical rules or the requirements of WP:V, that are not my opinions). If you disagree with any of my opinions, please say so; you don't need to convince me that you're right, just that your position is a reasonable one. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 04:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Great to hear - there's no hurry from my end, and I'm not one to adhere rigidly to the "seven days" thing. Cheers, Sarcasticidealist (talk) 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
