NCAA pre-season polls

It seems that 2009–10 NCAA Division I men's basketball rankings is focussed on the two big polls (AP and Coaches) and that the other publications' rankings fits better on this page: 2009–10 NCAA Division I men's basketball season#Pre-season_polls —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chitown03 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


Millennium Park articles

Hi Tony, I would be more interested in Pritzker Pavilion as it has many similarities to BP Bridge. I am pretty busy in real life and here right now, so I will do my best to help with it, but don't want to commit myself 100% right now. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:34, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

"This is an assembly of notable stores and it seems to fit in with the other centers at {{Chicagomalls}}." So basically you're arguing inherited notability (which is a crock) and WP:OSE.

Crown Fountain

Congratulations, Tony, on Crown Fountain making FA status!

I need to tell you, I have been going through some difficult real-world stuff (which will continue for some time) and simply cannot get online to edit. But I occasionally will check my watchlist on my cell phone while commuting. (It's horribly slow, but when you've got 90 minutes with nothing to do, what the heck?) Anyway, on my way home tonight I looked at the Signpost and saw that you got Crown Fountain to FA status. I know that this is probably no big deal for you, since you have done this more than anyone else, but it's the first time I've been cognizant of an article going through the process, so I decided to get online and congratulate you. Good job! Unschool 02:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Tony, I just pulled up some diffs, and I've got a question for you. I won't be hurt if you laugh at my silliness or are offended by my nerve. Anyway, when I look at the alterations I made in the lead, they appear from the diff to be significant; when I compare the lead as I left it to the lead that made it as an FA[1], there's no significant difference (other than a rewritten caption on a picture), meaning that the lead remained in the form I left it. This is my question: That's not enough for me to lay claim to be a person who helped this article make it to FA, is it? Assuming it is not, what kind of help qualifies one to lay claim to having helped an article to FA? Getting sources? What else? Thanks, you know how ignorant I am about all this.

IL state parks

I'm hoping to watch races at Rockford Speedway this Sunday. Depending on the time, I may visit Rock Cut State Park for some pictures - it's less than 1 mile away from the track. Is there an admission charge for Illinois state parks, especially for someone from out of state like me? Please respond here on your talk page. Royalbroil 03:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Illinois Beach State Park had no admission as of three years ago. I do not know about other state parks and about current policies.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, that's what I thought. I had been to Illinois Beach State Park in the early 2000s with my brother and I don't remember an admission charge. I didn't see mention of an admission charge on the IL DNR website. Royalbroil 03:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

You should look at the discussion, and you might want to withdraw the highway and nominate Fountain of Time in its place. I'm not sure of the points, or how others view this. My motivation is that I don't want a war article for Remembrance Day.

Proposed deletion of Danita Angell

The article Danita Angell has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no significant claim of notability, no indications that article may be meaningfully expanded -- short career, handful of GNews hits in captions

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wistert

now that you got the link

and saw Al get inducted - with Randall Cunningham

why won't you fix my edits that you took off?

plus, you really need to include how Al brought the stand up blocking we all see in the NFL today into the NFL with the Steagles

it is respect for Al and teaching kids their history

as far as the few sites that claim he missed so many games = Al never missed a game, was a 60 minute man, and only missed one start after the 5th game of his rookie year (when he replaced Ted Doyle as the starter)

it was against the Browns because of a bad ankle, but he ended up playing most of the game anyways

that is worth mentioning as well

Al is a better source of info than that of the hearsay of websites run by regular joes, since facts are so important...right?

hoping to hear a positive response back from you

since you have yet to reply to my previous message of proof Al finally got his respect, which I had asked you to chill, wait, and see

if you had = all of this would have been avoided —Preceding unsigned comment added by AFOS4EVER (talk • contribs) 05:53, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

question

Will you please restore the edits I made on Al Wistert??


for example,on this sentence, "His number 70 was retired by the Eagles in 1952."


It could read "His number 70 was retired by the Eagles in 1952 when the Eagles honored him with a day called Al Wistert Day. Al was the first Eagle to ever have his jersey retired by the team."

Which also could be used in the first paragraph where it says he was the first Eagle to be a Pro Bowl player. It could say he was the first Eagle to ever have his jersey retired by the team,and the first Eagle to go to the Pro Bowl.

You can decide.


I also would REALLY like the fact that Al brought the stand up style of blocking used today into the NFL.

He was the first to ever do it.

This is an important and historic moment in the life of the NFL.


you need at least these facts included on his page to give him proper respect, as well as educate people.

Isn't this the intent of Wikipedia?

here is a link giving you his whole career, much of it told by Al himself.

Neither of us could find a free image of Kafka and since neither of us live near Illinois, we cannot take a picture of him.

THANK YOU!! because of that I did go ahead an create a WAC page and time willing and if nobody dose if before me I will create a Big East page and any other confernce that dose not have a page yet. My main focus is to get each teams pages as up to date as possible so it may be some time before I get to the Big East page but hopefully I get there.

2009 Big Ten Conference football season

TonyTheTiger, thanks for reaching out regarding the 2009 Big Ten Conference football season article. Not sure if I have the patience to deal with filling out the schedule right now, but I'll see if I can chip in, although if I'm going to build schedule tables, I'd rather work on building out the yearly Michigan ones before 1969. While we're on the subject of collect football schedules, is there a standard for date and time formats? For dates I've been using DD/MM/YYYY, while you seem to be using Month-DD. For time I've been using h:mm AM/PM while you are using h:mm a.m./p.m. See 2005 Michigan Wolverines football team for an example of my format usage. Jweiss11 (talk) 04:31, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

thanks for the suggestion on the ranking tables. that does make sence for the larger conferences, but i dont think ill add it to the WAC page since only boise state has been ranked and really no other wac team is going to come close this year, having a talbe for every team will just waste space, but for the big east and acc pages it makes sence.

Template:CBB Schedule Entry

Is there a way to add optional columns for high scorer, rebounder and assists? I would like next season to be able to have the same information as I use at 2008–09_Michigan_Wolverines_men's_basketball_team#Schedule.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Two questions. 1.) What if there is a tie (see game 20 in my example above). 2.) Why all leaders in one column?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
1.) Just put a "/" between the two names. 2.) I put them all in the same column because I thought when fully populated, the whole schema seemed really squished by adding three new full columns... I assume if more people complain I will change it but I think it looks pretty clean at the moment.

Errors:

  1. Homecoming unexplained
Never implemented... when created I modelled after a similar one for college football. I ended up not implementing but left tag for possible later addition. Jazznutuva (talk) 14:15, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
  1. Attend not in blank section
fixed this one myself.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:00, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
  1. Cellspacing not working at 2009–10_Michigan_Wolverines_men's_basketball_team#Schedule.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:55, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
  2. I have tried to enter test content in attend and record fields and they showed up in the wrong columns.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:15, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Because this was an addition after mass use of this template... I had to use an if: statement as opposed to an :ifeq switch statement. This requires the use of a spacing character to allow for this problem... so in the "highscorer" part of each entry you will have to add a "--" or other placeholder to properly space the content. To make it work like the others would require everyone who uses the table change their tags. I'll update the documentation. Jazznutuva (talk) 14:15, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Tony - I am very sorry that I didn't get to the FAC in time before it closed. I have been virtually inactive for the past three weeks due to travel and an extensive workload. I probably won't be nearly as active as before for at least another month, but I will definitely be able to respond to queries more quickly.

I know it is a little late, but for next time: this list from CTBUH can be used in place of this to verify Q1 as the tallest residential tower; I wouldn't classify the latter as a reliable source. Let me know if I can help out in any way. As for World Architecture News, IO would classify that as a reliable source - it is, after all, backed by CTBUH. Cheers, Rai•me 15:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Millennium Park image map

Glad you like it, thanks. I originally made it to show up the same width (450 pixels) as the other map it replaced. The fonts on the original are the right size so that the looked about the same on my browser as the original linked label map. I just tried making it only 400 pixels wide and it still is legible on my browser - I would not go any smaller and the MOS says maps can be made larger for clarity. How does 400 px look to you?

It can be placed right or left (just like any image). Before we go putting it in all the articles, please check the map and make sure the areas are OK (they checked out on my monitor). I used rectangles as that was easiest, though it means some neighboring areas are linked for the bridge, Pritzker pavilion and a few others. Also no link for Monroe Street.

I could make the labels a bit larger, but it would take a fair amount of time (I would have to redraw every label). Let's see what Awadweit thinks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:59, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
The current map is 11 point Tahoma bold font. I can go to 14 point (not bold) and still squeeze Cloud Gate in its slot. Let me know, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:06, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I went ahead and made the 14 point version. It is in McDonald's Cycle Center at 350 pixels wide, Chase Promenade at 400 pixels wide in, and in Lurie Garden at 200 pixels wide. The original map it replaced was 450 pixels wide. Let me know what you think when you're back online, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:03, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I guess I need to say "Ack!!" I had started working on it, then a newish editor came in and there was discussion. I was waiting for him to comment and had asked a couple other editors to help me find more information about her current boyfriend since I was hitting walls in finding something, and I still don't have much of anything that isn't already in there. I'll work on it this weekend and hopefully finish it up. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:08, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
