Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'—Martin Luther King Jr.

Have nunchucks. Will travel. - Antonio "Tony The Tiger" Vernon

“

Freedom of expression does not truly exist if the right can be exercised only in an area that a benevolent government has provided as a safe haven for crackpots. - Abe Fortas 393 U.S. 503 (1969)

”

Tony The Tiger interpretation: Freedom of expression does not exist unless freedom of expression is protected when and where the audience exists.

2010 Greetings

HAPPY NEW YEAR This is Carcassonne in southern France where I spent Christmas, safely away from Wiki temptations. Back to work now. I hope you have a great year in 2010 for writing, reviewing, or whatever takes your fancy by way of increasing the Chicago profile. Always willing to help when I can.

Conflicted licensing images

Given the updates you did on other images with this issue, I hope these can be resolved relatively quickly :)

GA Sweeps update

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 00:18, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:20080514 Trump Chicago Kiosk.JPG

⚠
Thanks for uploading File:20080514 Trump Chicago Kiosk.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 03:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure, Tony. By the way, would you mind glancing at Todd Boyd? The article still refers to "Obama’s potential election", which is a little embarrassing at this point. - Biruitorul ^Talk 02:24, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jay Pritzker Pavilion

Thanks for the heads up - I archived the peer review (and I see you have already fixed the article history). I also looked at the dabs and external links and made a few minor fixes there - one Financial Times link was dead, so I just commented out the URL and converted the {{cite web}} template to {{cite news}}. Also found a broken ISBN so fixed that with the ISBN from WorldCat.

Thanks too for the Cycle Center notice. I added a Tiger above - cheated a little on the date to keep your streak going. If you prefer I will use a more conventional dating system. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:23, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Television ratings

Unfortunately, I don't know of any good complete archival source. American television ratings are generally provided by Nielsen, but the problem is that to get large sets of historical ratings, one has to pay some kind of subscription fee. Without doing so, one basically has to resort to Googling for specific news articles and for entertainment sites which provide more recent data. Also, to clarify, I was pulling those specific television ratings out from the pre-merge page history, so I was not the one who originally added them. —Lowellian (reply) 07:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Millennium Park

Looking at the map, I think Lurie Garden is the second largest feature in the park, so that might be my preference over the theater. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 11:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Good to see this at FAC. Can I recommend you add File:2005-10-13 2880x1920 chicago above millennium park.jpg as the main image in the infobox instead as the main image should be an overivew of the whole complex rather than a restricted view in a concert.... I haven't switched images myself as I know you are often very strict with image layout in the article. If possible I'd recommend somebody creates a montage which could combine the two images or even one or two others in the main image, but I think File:2005-10-13 2880x1920 chicago above millennium park.jpg would be far better as the main than the one at present and immediately gices an understanding of the site...
