Your GA nomination of Reel Moments

The article Reel Moments you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Reel Moments for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:25, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

The Litigators

Hi Tony--good thing I didn't pick this up for GA review. Note what I tried to alleviate: you have two sentences in a row that start with "the story depicts", which is already a questionable locution if used once. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 04:52, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Community Area maps all deleted... WTF?

Tony, for whatever reason (someone must have filed a motion to do so) all the articles for Chicago Community areas have been deleted. I'm not sure why this happened, but they've been up here as far back as I can remember, and are the official community areas defined by the city, so it isn't like they aren't legit. Could you please check into this? I have a feeling I know the who and why behind it, but I haven't the slightest idea how to go about getting it undone. Ryecatcher773 (talk) 18:38, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry... just woke up and haven't had enough coffee yet -- it was the map images (which appeared in the infoboxes) that were deleted.Ryecatcher773 (talk) 19:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

All 77 area maps may not be gone (yet) but so far, but a good chunk are gone. Fastily has deleted the files for the maps that were on Logan Square, Armour Square, Bridgeport, McKinley Park, Austin, New City, , Beverly, and several others that I have clicked.

Just a reminder

The Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Fall 2011 Photo Contest closes in a few minutes. I was sorry that not many folks took up your challenges. User Temmu08 did enter the Cook County challenge though. In order to prevent any confusion about the Chicago challenge, I'll award a barnstar on that later (if you don't mind). Thanks.

Deletion nom question

Hi Tony, I'm puzzled as to why you nommed a Chicago ward for deletion [1]. (I found this at the Article Rescue project page). I think all the wards have significant coverage in the book Chicago politics, ward by ward [2] apart from all the city-based info and local paper coverage. Could you explain? (My preference would be at the article's talk page, more centralized point). Sincerely, Novickas (talk) 16:14, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. In T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever), you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Digital download (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Community areas

Thanks for the barnstar. I noticed while going through the articles adding the maps that many of them are sadly lacking—Auburn Gresham, for example, is barely more than a paragraph. Perhaps WP Chicago could do a community area month or something. On a completely unrelated note, I've been meaning to contact you as August 15, 2012 will be the bicentennial of the Battle of Fort Dearborn—it would be good to have that article or the Fort Dearborn article on the main page at around that time. I started some work on the Fort Dearborn article earlier this year but ran out of steam; do you think that getting one of these articles to FA is something that we might be able to get some other WP Chicago editors interested in?—Jeremy (talk) 20:48, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Main page appearance: McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink

This is a note to let the main editors of McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 20, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 20, 2011. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink is a multi-purpose venue within Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, USA. On December 20, 2001, it became the first attraction in Millennium Park to open. The $3.2 million plaza was funded by a donation from the McCormick Tribune Foundation. It has served as an ice skating rink, a dining facility and briefly as an open-air exhibition space. The plaza operates as McCormick Tribune Ice Rink, a free public outdoor ice skating rink that is generally open four months a year, from mid-November until mid-March, when it hosts over 100,000 skaters annually. It is known as one of Chicago's better outdoor people-watching locations during the winter months. For the rest of the year, it serves as "Plaza at Park Grill" or "Park Grill Plaza", Chicago's largest outdoor dining facility. The 150-seat park grill hosts various culinary events as well as music during its months of outdoor operation, and it is affiliated with the 300-seat indoor Park Grill restaurant located beneath AT&T Plaza and Cloud Gate. The outdoor restaurant offers scenic views of the park. (more...)

Template:Millennium Park Map

I am fine with the edit and with using the template in the articles. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 05:01, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

I changed them all except for BP Pedestrian Bridge and Cloud Gate as I cannot figure out how to format the template so it is either centered (bridge) or right justified (Bean). Do you know how? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 14:17, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. It looks and works the same for right justified maps. I have a workaround idea (make two more versions: a centered template and a right justified template), but I will aks at the Village Pump first. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 16:29, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Some kinds editors at the Village Pump fixed the template formatting issues. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 05:20, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

The article is discussed at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Miscellaneous#Trey Burke - Basketball Player - Deleted Question - not good PR for Wiki???????? PrimeHunter (talk) 02:25, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate your explanation of the numbers and understand why you want no further part in the discussion. Before your second post I had already considered to point out that the OP clearly didn't care why the numbers were different and the socalled question was just an excuse to criticise Wikipedia. But like you, I chose to stay out of the mess. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:54, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Wilt's 100-point game

Tony, as a prolific GA/FA type editor, I thought you should be aware of this discussion I've started at WT:NBA. Don't know if it's something you'd be interested in tackling, but I do see it as a great probability that the article would be on the main page if all goes according to plan.

GA Review

Hi, I'm with the Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2011. I've been working on the Olympic marmot as part of a project, and now, multiple reviewers have told me that it's ready to be reviewed for GA! I nominated it, but TCO suggests to recruit reviewers to facilitate the process, and he directed me to you and a few other users. I would like to ask if you weren't too busy, to do the GA review for the Olympic marmot. I'd really appreciate it! I'm going to ask a few of the other names he gave me about this too, and whoever has the time to get to it first can review it. Thanks! Imthebombliketicktick (talk) 17:33, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
