Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame

The Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame list is not yet ready for prime time, but please see User:Smallbones/drafts and let me know what you think, particularly regarding notability. I wouldn't want to start the article and then have it deleted for not being notable.

There are also issues regarding formating (I think I know how to get it sortable again), perhaps OR, and tracking down who are some of the honorees. Any advice would be appreciated.

Perhaps the biggest favor you could do me is to suggest some old Chicago sports fans who might check some of my work and fill in vacant boxes. It's actually kind of fun.

Any help appreciated,

Smallbones (talk) 17:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I went ahead and started the article, and will plead for help on the WP:Chicago talk page. Smallbones (talk) 20:30, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

CA cities and mayors of 100,000 population

You recently went through and updated a whole bunch of city pages to reflect this information, which is fine. But on all of the cities' pages, the text at the bottom reads "Mayors of cities with 100,000 populations in the California". And I couldn't figure out how to modify the template (or whatever) that creates this text. Any chance you can fix the text to have proper English? Jokeboy (talk) 19:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Update - Well, that edit certainly fixed *a* problem, but not the one I was referring to. Go to the Sunnyvale page, scroll to the bottom, and check out the text that appears in the blue bar that you caused to be added to it. It reads "Mayors of cities with 100,000 populations in the California". That's what I was referring to - both 'populations' and 'in the California'. Thanks for your promptness, regardless. - Jokeboy (talk) 22:03, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

You're right - I checked the template, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and even Los Angeles (a page that I've never visited), plus flushing my cache, to make sure it wasn't some sort of browser issue. I don't understand why your edit didn't propagate. Maybe we call in bigger guns? Maybe we just wait? It isn't urgent, so I'm fine with waiting it out. Thanks again - Jokeboy (talk) 22:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: TfD

Yep I withdrew. Simply decided my objection wasn't strong enough. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 05:42, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah it's kind of hard to determine what's a "large city". I think much of it depends on the state. For example, I live in a state with just 3 cities over 100,000 people. So a city such as Eau Claire, which would be considered a "small town" in California or New York, is considered a "good-sized city" in Wisconsin. For Wisconsin, 50,000 is a much better demarcation than 100,000. But in California, 200 or 300,000 might be a better marker. It's just very hard to determine it on a national basis. And yes mayors of a city in a large metropolitan area might have very little power due to larger cities in the same area. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 06:04, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
There's no way a city of 62,000 would be considered a "small town" in New York. California, sure, but only eight cities in New York are more populous than Eau Claire. But that just illustrates the arbitrariness of the 100,000-person cutoff. The NY template looks silly without Albany on there, even though it has just under 100,000 people, because NY-Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse-Albany are considered the "big five" cities. (Yonkers is an outlier because it's in the NYC metro area.) I think there should be a discussion about this before you (Tony) make any more, though I don't know the best place for that discussion (TfD is too adversarial at this point, IMHO.) Powers T 15:07, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Superficially, better (but what about those states where the capital is already on the list?), but I must say I'm still not a huge fan of the idea. As a navigational template, I'm not sure it's all that useful to readers. Maybe on the mayors' articles, but not really on the city articles. Powers T 15:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Cities of more than 100k

Noticed that you had templates for these in several states. The one for mayors was placed on Athens, Georgia. This seems to me to be better placed on their bios or on "Government of Athens", an article which will probably not separately exist for another two years! I suppose a "cities of over 100k" template could be used though. My point is that the template seems to promote mayors when the article should be explaining Athens itself. Thanks.Student7 (talk) 13:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Ooops. They are merged. I think I would rather see them separated. I think that far fewer people will be interested in who is mayor than the identity of the city. The mayor changes, the city most likely won't shrink! Student7 (talk) 13:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Double oops. I just took your first idea about discussing it on WP:CITIES and attacked (gulp) the templates there. I can erase it if you think it is out of line or out of place. Your call. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 16:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Upright

Hi, Tony. The "upright" paramater in a thumbnail image means that the size of the thumbnail is determined by the image height instead of its width. It's good to use for tall images, so they don't overwhelm the page. --Orlady (talk) 00:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

GA help

You have many GA's. Can you help me with my first one, Alan Mulally? You could either review it and show me how a review is done or you can help me improve/re-write it (a probably harder thing for you to do).

100 K template

You know, Tony, it might just be a good idea to lose the arbitrary cut-off of 100,000 (as a compromise) and simply have the template include the top ten cities in each state by population. See this list from the State of Illinois. Just a thought. --IvoShandor (talk) 14:02, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Alaska Supreme Court

The {{USStateChiefJustices}} template refers to either the position (Chief Justice) or the individual (Fabe, right now); not the court. "It is fairly standard at Category:United States political leader templates to include templates on both the office and the officeholder articles." Exactly. Alaska Supreme Court is neither of those. TJRC (talk) 20:59, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Let's have the discussion to Talk:Alaska Supreme Court. This isn't a 1:1 topic. TJRC (talk) 21:09, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I take that back. This isn't confined to one article, and I was about to suggest that we open a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law instead. But I see someone already has. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law#Template listing all the US state Chief Justices. Let's join in the discussion there. TJRC (talk) 21:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Re Template:Current US state Chief Justices

Hi again Tony and thanks for your recent messages. Re Template:Current US state Chief Justices, I realized there'd be a handful of links that would be redirected, but thought that'd be okay as it can happen with similar kinds of templates elsewhere (e.g. Template:United States topic and the other templates in Category:Configurable area-topic templates). I did once know that NY's Supreme Court wasn't as supreme as other states' Supreme Courts, but, rather than try amending the template to accommodate this exception, how about a footnote to clarify it? Sardanaphalus (talk) 11:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

PS I've just read through Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography#State by state 100,000 population city and mayors templates but haven't left a comment (at least, not yet) as I'm torn between the arguments given. I realize this would mean shelving some fine-looking template work, but perhaps the optimum solution is to transfer the templates' contents to "List of" articles which are then linked from the appropriate articles' "See also" sections..? (I haven't checked whether this option already exists.) Sardanaphalus (talk) 11:57, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

  • You mean stop the template from using {{US states navbox with columns}}..? Seems a pity, since the links and redirects work fine and any Chief Justice name that redirects can be amended. Re NY, it could be argued that it shouldn't have an entry (or should only have a footnote) as its Supreme Court doesn't have a Chief Justice -- or does it? Anyway, whatever you think best. Sardanaphalus (talk) 04:36, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, as I said, whatever you think best. I reckon ensuring links are bold when they're on the page they link is worthwhile, but not a major concern if it complicates template design. Also, it's easy for people to rename pages, stopping the bold from occurring. (Maybe, though, this is something a future version of the Wikipedia software can handle.) Sardanaphalus (talk) 05:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Weisner clarification

Tony, I'm not totally sure, but I think Suntag's argument there was not that Weisner's biography is too boring, but that the article has an NPOV slant. (Personally, I don't know if it does or not, I haven't even looked at the article in days—that just seems to me be the argument Suntag was putting forth.) I'm not trying to criticize you or anything, I just wanted to try and clarify, since I think at DYK we (collectively) often end up talking around one another (and I am just as guilty of that as anyone). Anyway, I won't be making any further comments on the nomination at T:TDYK, but I also just wanted to say, thank you for being civil and respectful in the discussion, I appreciate it. Best, —Politizer talk/contribs 20:51, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of María del Luján Telpuk

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article María del Luján Telpuk, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Orphan article. Popular person, not relevant. What is relevant in this case would be the episode of the suitcase, but not this girl's life. Redundant with Maletinazo

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. 190.224.215.138 (talk) 16:59, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

GA reviews

Hi, Tony. I was wondering if you had any interest in reviewing articles. GAN has an impressive backlog as it is (see here, and with your clear experience in writing GAs, you could have the skills needed to review as well.

More On White City Amusement Park

DevorahLeah (talk) 06:47, 13 December 2008 (UTC) Tony, I am so pleased that my help with the Merle Reskin theatre got it up to a GA!!! I looked over the White City entry quickly, and was interested to know what sorts of things you'd like added.

Also, a shameless plug for my new book which just came out-- it's called "Icons of Talk: The Media Mouths That Changed America" and it's a history of talk shows, past and present, with profiles of some of the best known talk show hosts. [1]

Tony, I did my usual amount of research and I've found all sorts of good stuff to expand the article, including more about the owners, what some of the special events held there were, more about the Blimp story, and something few people cover-- the attitude of the park towards admitting people of colour. (In the early years, it was frowned upon, according to several very reputable black newspapers.) As always, I'll add the material, and if you could clean up the citations, I'd be very grateful. Might this be another GA, or is it not eligible? Hope all is well with you. We got 13 inches of snow in Boston... DevorahLeah (talk) 07:38, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Tony, thank you, and I won't put you through that again. I'm still feeling rather wretched, but at least the article got done and I hope it is now a GA or that it has more of what you were seeking. Please let me know, as I worked hard on it. Sorry for any inconvenience to you, and I wish you and yours a wonderful holiday. DevorahLeah (talk) 17:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Four Freedoms Book.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:Four Freedoms Book.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:14, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. These statements in the Tiger Woods lead have already been challenged and, as they were uncited, removed. Putting them back in without cites isn't helping make a better article.

  • "He dramatically increased attendance and TV ratings and generated interest among a multicultural audience" - Do you have figures you can cite here?
  • "in a game that used to be considered insular and elitist" - "considered" is a weasel word. Who is doing the considering here and why is their opinion notable?
