I have augmented the FUR at File:0609Departments 411 06 0.jpg. Is it now satisfactory?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:29, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

That should be OK for now, although there is a small chance when I go over the images again in a few weeks that I might disagree with myself and nominate the image for FFD. If I do, I will of course warn you. Stifle (talk) 14:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Re:Crown Fountain FAC 4

SkyscraperPage has been down for maintenance reasons since August 19, and may be down for a few more days - this happens about once every two years. However, since the website being down could jeopardize the FAC, you could reference this list of the tallest buildings in the United States by architectural height (or this, which includes only Chicago buildings) from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, which is widely regarded as one of the most reliable skyscraper resources.

I'm not sure about the Ultrapolis Project ranking - from this, it seems that the site uses a standard formula to achieve their rankings, although the site does state that "he formula gives less weight for thin, ornamental spires and observation towers, and none for antennas", which seems pretty subjective. Since the ranking seems to be based on subjective statistical data, I don't think it should be included. Is mentioning that Chicago has the tallest skyline necessary in the article? Most information about the "world's tallest skylines" seems to come from blogs.

And I will try to update List of tallest buildings in Chicago today. Cheers, Rai•me 17:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Campbell's Soup with Can Opener.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Campbell's Soup with Can Opener.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 05:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Ockie Anderson

Hey Tony. I've started working on college football articles again and started one on Ockie Anderson, All-American at Colgate and one of the leadings scorers in pro football while playing for the Buffalo All-Americans from 1920-1922. Given your interest in college football and Buffalo related, I thought you might be interested. If you have any suggestions, or additional sources, feel free to contribute, as always.

DYK for 2009 Big Ten Conference football season

On September 5, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 2009 Big Ten Conference football season, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

We are waiting on your input for Chicago auto-assessing magic.

What do you think of this matrix as far as class goes?

And what of Pknkly's suggestion to break categories in WP:CHIBOTCATS up by default lowest importance? (excluding those that were too complicated to make the call this way). If this second part is something you are going ahead with, it would make sense to combine both types of auto-assessments in a single run.

The template would also require modification. The suggestion made was to allow auto to take the class as an input rather than "yes" and (if you go ahead with importance), a new parameter and category should be created for those as well. Perhaps "autoimportance" would be the parameter, and if a user agreed all they would have to do is remove the "auto" part.

Let me know! –xeno 22:58, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Crown Fountain

Well, I've done with the lede what I can think of for now. It's not a dramatic improvement, like Eiffel Tower, because it was already pretty good. And while I think it's better now, I can imagine you'll want to change (or change back) some things.

My biggest concern is my lack of familiarity with the subject. Please take extra care to see not only any outright factual errors I may have inadvertently added, but more importantly, if the tone of the sections rings true. For example, does the stuff about controversies seem to make a bigger deal out of it than you remember? I have no way of knowing that, and am counting on you and your intimate knowledge to clean up any improper connotations I may have accidentally inserted. Cheers!

Bill Garcia Deletion

Hi Tony. I have just noticed that Bill Garcia article that has been in Misplaced Pages for years has been deleted. I would like to ask for your help in reinstating that article. Bill Garcia is one of the first Hispanic radio broadcasters in Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Charlotte markets at a time when there was an extremely poor level of Hispanic broadcasters in the major market radio industry. He achieved top ratings in each major market and was viewed by many in the industry as a breakthrough talent. I noticed that was a discussion of lack of ratings information. Arbitron company which is the ratings source for every radio station in the country always showed Bill Garcia at the top of the ratings. I have included some published linked in Chicago Sun Times that indicate this. For the sake of letting future budding broadcasters get some history I request that you reinstate this article.

GAN notice

Hi TonyTheTiger, you currently have at least one article up a WP:GAN in the Sports and recreation section. In an attempt to clear out the backlog there, User:Wizardman asked all sports WikiProjects to review at least two articles from that section. I'm now going around and asking anybody with an article nominated under Sports and recreation to review at least one article in that section to help us clear the backlog out so your articles can finally be reviewed faster! iMatthew  at 15:08, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem, thanks! iMatthew  at 16:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Cato June

I could see this at FAC as well. It's definitely detailed enough for that, and if anyone complains about the refs we both know that size is just due to the urls. I wouldn't mind a co-nom, I can certainly help out at FAC to fix anything, sans copyediting, I'm not great at that. Wizardman 16:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

That's probably the best option. Hopefully we get some good feedback. Wizardman 16:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Picture question

Tony, I was doing a major cleanup of an article last winter, and really wanted to add an image. I found none in Wikimedia Commons, so I went to Flickr. There I found some wonderful pictures, none of which I could use, because of the copyright restrictions. They were almost perfectly free, but not quite. Anyway, looking at you pulling those pictures for Crown Fountain from Flickr, I'm wondering: Did the changes in our copyright policy earlier this year change what I can take from Flickr? I had a heck of a time understanding the old policy, where do I go to have the new policy explained to me? Unschool 02:51, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Theodore Roosevelt

Hey, Tony, I'll be interested to know what you think about the new lead over at TR's page. Before you look, I have to tell you, you're likely to be disappointed.

This was hard. TR is, to put it simply, one of the greatest figures in modern world history. He did so much. I think that Lincoln was clearly our greatest president, and Washington was arguably our greatest leader, but TR was one of the greatest men to have lived in the United States. So trimming the lead was extremely difficult. In fact, on my first attempt, I ended up making it longer! I'm not kidding! You see, the lead was long, but it was also poorly done. What I did was first write a lead that was (unintentionally) longer, but better. Then I had to trim it down.

And so what you now see remains longer than your 3200 character goal. But it's pretty good, and I'm satisfied with what I did. I hope you are, too. Unschool 04:02, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

My votes here and rationale for your further consideration

Hello Tony. I have cast my votes at the above-named location - scroll down to my name at the end of the list. I would not normally come to your page to tell you of such an edit but in this case I have used a particular rationale and method which I think is deserving of your further consideration; and so I ask you to re-visit and make further comment if you wish. If there is some other way that I can assist or if you have any further questions please come to my talk page at any time. With thanks --VirtualSteve 04:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

it is reliable

see, I GOT JEFF LURIE TO PUT AL IN THE RING OF HONOR

Al Wistert part 2

as far as Philly rags go - I HAVE TRIED to tell them Al is going in 9/27 (with another Eagle, though I did ask who it was)during the second home game against the Chiefs.

see, Lurie's office contacted me earlier this year after a media blitz I did on them for disrespecting Al for sooooo long. I have been working with them for months, even providing them his profile/ story.

I added things his wiki page does not have, because it is important people know how important Al STILL is to the NFL.

I have also talked with Al for hours during these months.

A few weeks ago, Lurie's personal assistant (the one I've dealt with mostly) called me and asked for Al's phone number. Then they told me the next week to call Al, because they rather have Al tell me the good news. I heard it, and called Lurie to thank him.

It IS confirmed!

Why the loser Philly press won't mention it is beyond me —Preceding unsigned comment added by AFOS4EVER (talk • contribs) 20:36, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

so actually talking with Jeff Lurie = THE EAGLES OWNER = isn't reliable?

well anyways

keep your eyes peeled on philly.com

just talked to a sports staff writer for the Inquirer

gave him Al's number too

he is aware of the Honor Roll gig

but says they are waiting until the week of the 27th to run stories

though he now plans to do a little blurb on it this week

possibly soon

he just wants to talk with Al first to flesh out the story

forgot his name, but he tells me he just did a story on John Cheney/ Viv Stringer being honored

how about leaving my edits be until after the 27th?

If Al somehow isn't put in, remove it

of course, I will be up the Eagles asses if that doesn't happen

listening to the radio = you might have to wait until halftime of the KC game to learn anything —Preceding unsigned comment added by AFOS4EVER (talk • contribs) 21:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Help

Thanks for responding. I would like to see the article for Bill Garcia reinstated complete with those great Chicago links that were implemented. The article for Bill Garcia has been in Misplaced Pages for years and I would like your help in having it put back up, please. It would be historical in content for many future broadcasters who have a minority background and can look back at how Bill Garcia among others paved the way for minorities to make it to the mainstream media. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billus99 (talk • contribs) 03:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Can old Chicago Project subpage be used?

Please look at the proposed use and advise at Can this be reused. I'm trying to reverse engineer the category processes and need a place to document what I find. I hope other established Chicago Project members with knowledge about categories can contribute. Pknkly (talk) 06:30, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Not planning to keep up the the category list in the subpage - I'm planning to delete it! Still good? Please look at narrative in the article before the information I plan to delete. I found another template based category list. So, there were three that have accumulated throughout the years. I will pose a question about the template based process within Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Chicago/Categories.Pknkly (talk) 07:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

This article came up for audit within the Chicago Project Category clean up. Since you were the person who put the Chicago tag into its Talk I thought I would leave this one up to you. Perhaps you will recall your reason for placing the Chicago tag. Pknkly (talk) 04:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Got your message. I'll delete tag. Pknkly (talk) 04:15, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Dennis Gorski

On September 12, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Dennis Gorski, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Tony, you have Callow and Gayford marked as "Tertiary sources, with little or no reference to sources". Can you let me know your basis for this? If you are correct (I assume you are, just need to know the reasoning so it doesn't happen again), I suppose we should just remove them outright. At this point in the article's development, I'd like to get a copyeditor or two in, before we expand the latter portions of the page. Any suggestions; a lot of the c/e'rs I depended on have left, and as you know those pople are like gold dust. Ceoil (talk) 13:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok I assumed it was something that came up in the GAR, perhalps Modernist is aware of the reasoning. I can only go so far with a copy edit; you know how it is with article you are close to. Look forward to your help. The bits left to be expanded are widely covered by the sources, the work load is not as much as you might think. It would be brilliant to get this to FA, given the notability of the subject, and the difficulty about discussing him, it would be something we could be proud to hold up. Ceoil (talk) 13:38, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Tony thanks; no worries and no rush with this. As you can imagine, if we take to FAC it will attract a lot of attention and likely be a long candidacy. I remember your work on the Warhol, which is why I would like you on side. We need a good team to get this through. Ceoil (talk) 13:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Arthur Eve

Unfortunately I haven't been able to return to Arthur for a couple of days. Now, I'm going to be away from 14th to 18th. I will try tomorrow to find a bit of time to proceed with the review, but I can't promise – it may have to wait ntil I get back. I hope that's not too much of a problem.

TR

Gotta hand it to you, that was a great edit. My points of disagreement are microscopic. And yes, I see that you got it below 3200. While I greatly admire the skill you brought to that edit, it doesn't change my stance, which is a matter of principle. Good job, though, TTT. Unschool 04:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Looking over your edit, I must say, your work on the first paragraph was positively fantastic. I had a couple of things I had been uncomfortable with, including the colon in the first sentence, and the entire last sentence. Your dismissal of the colon was perfect, and while the final sentence is not quite perfect, it's an improvement over mine. Thanks. Unschool 05:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I had the word "successful" in there to contrast between the US effort under TR to the effort by the French. But you're right, it's not necessary in there. I did put back one word, "annointed", for reasons explained in my edit summary. Unschool 05:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Extending scope

My reply to Indiana Territory is at User talk:Pknkly#Indiana Territory. If you are still up, I'll read your response tomorrow. I'm calling it a day. Good morning to you. Pknkly (talk) 06:44, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. I just needed to print something humorous as a joke. I'm done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fonad2 (talk • contribs) 06:17, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Re Crown Fountain FAC 4

I do not know how to make or edit ogg files - I think Awadewit does. You could also ask at the Graphics lab. I will try to take a look at the article and FAC. Ruhrfisch _><>° 12:10, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Request for Participation in Misplaced Pages Research

TonyTheTiger,

Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case.

In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Misplaced Pages community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Misplaced Pages community.

This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.

Take the survey

Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free comment on my talk page.

Ogg

Ogg is actually two very different formats, I can only edit the audio one. I believe User:Seddon and User:Cirt are able to do video editing. Shoemaker's Holiday 19:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
