Welcome to WikiProject Chicago! This page was at one time focussed on improving the Chicago article. Some Wikipedians have adopted this as a project to better organize information in articles related to the city of Chicago in the U.S. state of Illinois. Please feel free to post any suggestions or concerns here. For a list of this project's main objectives, see the Main Page. New members, please add your name to the Members list.

Wicked

I just removed the project tag from Wicked (musical). If pages for musicals were tagged with every city WikiProject in which the musical ran, it would take up the entire talk page! — Music Maker 5376 16:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've again removed the tag from the article, and I would appreciate it if it weren't replaced. The two WikiProjects which claim the article -- WikiProject Musical Theatre and WikiProject Oz -- have a far greater understanding of the subject and complexities than would a WikiProject dedicated to a city in which it has played. — Music Maker 5376 00:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WLS-TV

I'd appreciate others from Chicago commenting on the WLS-TV discussion re: the "minivan incident". Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank for calling this to our attention.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 19:45, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Siczek

My great-grandfather Adam SICZEK came in 1913 from Poland to Chicago. He was carpenter and died on 10th January 1932 in Bremen Township, Cook County, Illinois. I found his name in Illinois Statewide Death Index: [1]. Can somebody help me? I search for his grave, and I don't know what I have to do :( Please help me! Where could be his grave? My email: rks@interia.pl . I'll be grateful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.242.236.249 (talk) 20:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is he a notable person that should be listed on notable grave websites?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 19:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, he wasn't any notable person. 77.242.236.249 (talk) 23:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: Mirth & Girth and importance to Harold Washington

Hey everyone... I'm requesting comments on Talk:Harold Washington#RfC: How much importance should be placed on Mirth & Girth in Harold Washington? regarding Mirth & Girth. Your input is appreciated. Thanks! —Rob (talk) 21:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is adequately noted in the article and I think the see also is excessive since it is wikilinked inline.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 19:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated this because there is no national coverage of this event and it does not appear to be a notable fashion week.Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the date and the redlink it must have gotten WP:CSDed. You probably made a good decision.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 19:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
