IL Governors

Hi Fishal! Thanks for the note, I've added a comment at WT:ILLINOIS and added a request at WT:WikiProject Illinois/to do. I'll try to help as much as I can, although I'm better at the geographical (cities, villages, etc.) articles. Regards, --Funandtrvl (talk) 01:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

County Boundary Changes

This is neat stuff. Can you do this for all the counties of our Great State? HuskyHuskie (talk) 02:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've plowed through a large number of these county historical maps. What a great contribution. Thanks! HuskyHuskie (talk) 01:28, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking at your recent edit

at Collegiate Gothic in North America where you (I think) added Altgeld's castles and I believe that they don't really belong there. They are, in my mind, college buildings built in the Gothic Revival architecture style, but are not really in the Collegiate Gothic style. Looking at this has brought to me attention that there is not a very good definition and/or description of what the style consists of. Anyway, think it over. EInar aka Carptrash (talk)

Actually (one of the 27 words and phrases that mean my opinion) I agree with what you are doing and since the your edit more-or-less fits into the page "as is," I am inclined to leave it there until such time as someone writes a description of collegiate Gothic that excludes Altgeld's stuff. But you can with all confidence (another of those "my opinon" things) link A's castles to Gothic Revival. If you have not already done so. Life is supposed to be interesting.

Your Nomination for Deletion of Paul V. Kane

Request you re-read the entry in question for "Paul V. Kane" and reconsider (or explain your logic after a re-read) your nomination and sppt for deletion based on closer reading of it. Thank you. 72.83.107.120 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:39, 12 July 2010 (UTC).[reply]

KEEP. This article was revised last week after nomination for deletion by Fishal.

It is clearly notable and worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia (recipient received a national award from the President of the United States), reliably sourced (Marine Corps Times et al) with multiple verifiable references, and without contention.

Fishal, suggest when you put something on the block for deletion that you re-read it after you hit the "Send" button rather than just posting a come lately reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.107.120 (talk) 12:43, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge suggestion for Sports jinxes and Sports-related curses

I noticed your suggestion for merging sports jinxes and sports-related curses. Considering that the former consists entirely of original research, would it be awful to simply replace the content with a redirect to the latter? At the risk of not assuming good faith, it seems like the article creator is just trying to get around the content disputes in the curses article. --Mosmof (talk) 05:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for replying late. I'll create some of those articles... so then the chicagoland riot template will be in place. (LAz17 (talk) 03:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)).[reply]

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Talk:International reactions to the United States presidential election, 2012".

Guide for participants

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

What this noticeboard is:

It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.

What this noticeboard is not:

It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums.
It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.

Things to remember:

Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~".
If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBot ^{operator / talk} 02:44, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Languages of Illinois, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American language (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Hospitaller colonization of the Americas

On 14 April 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hospitaller colonization of the Americas, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Knights Hospitaller owned a number of colonies in the Caribbean in the mid-17th century? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hospitaller colonization of the Americas. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
