Hello there. You seem like someone who is seriously interested in saltwater aquarium. I just want to let you know that there's this WikiProject Aquarium Fishes. The project is quite young and we haven't had any expert in marine aquarium yet. So I hope you might be interested. Have a look at our project page. Thank you !!

You have done some great work this week on the [[Chicago Board of Trade Building}]. I see you are fairly new to WP, but you have done good work on many Chicago related articles. Two past CHICOTW articles that are week on Chicago architecture details are Hull House and Merle Reskin Theatre. Hull House recently failed its WP:GA nomination in part due to weakness on architectural details. Merle Reskin will be nominate 8 days from today. If either of these is up you alley, feel free to help. We hope you stay with us in coming weeks. TonyTheTiger 14:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

In general, it is a good idea to refrain from editting articles while they are nominees for CHICOTW. That way everyone is voting on the same version of pages. Furthermore, if you save your edits until something is actually the CHICOTW we will look more productive as a group by making bigger improvements. TonyTheTiger 02:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Please reassess your CHICOTW vote. An article for the redlinked candidate you voted for has been found. It is likely you may perceive lending our assistance to this article less important compared to other possibilities given its good start already.

How did you add the Burnham Park page link for the citation. I have not been able to do so for any of the parks at Washington Park, Chicago. TonyTheTiger ( talk/ cont/ bio) 21:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I found Dinah Washington Park and Washington Square Park, Chicago pages using google. I still can't find Harold Washington Park. Do you know how to find this page?
I presume the monument still exists. I can get a picture during the summer, but it might be nice to have one before we go up for GAC in 5.5 weeks. In fact, a picture would probably entice me to submit this instead of the UN for DYK. TonyTheTiger ( talk/ cont/ bio) 18:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for going through and editing the article. I know I've made a few grammar mistakes and others have come in and changed the wording around as well. I'm just leaving this message because I'm not sure whether you inserted the cite request for the location of the Spire or whether it was for the comment "as a welcoming symbol to the City of Chicago". If it was the former, drop me a line on my talk page and I'll find a reference. If it was for the latter - I've removed that comment. It looks like it was added by User:LKLIII [1] back in 2005. The only reason I've left it in up until now is because it was in there for so long. Thanks again. Chupper 20:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm. You are being too liberal with your ratings. Read Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment. We want to be as strict as they are. In short, less than 1 in 1000 article should be rated as top. I believe that the 5 I have chosen are our top 5. I am open for debate, however. We probably should delete a top for everyone we add until we have 6000 articles tagged in our project. Shedd is either Mid or High, not top. I will have to work on a page similar to theirs for our project. However, I am open for debate. I have to talk to their assessment guy Ozgod about what percentages should be used for other articles.
Until I create a page explaining the approximate guidelines, it would be more helpful if you would just add the {{ ChicagoWikiProject}} to as many pages as you can and encourage others to do so as well. TonyTheTiger ( talk/ cont/ bio) 00:10, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
I would have to say of all the oppose votes yours is the most disconcerting because we have worked so well together over the last 2 months to improve the Chicago related articles. Your complaint about my ownership is a problem that I need to address. I thought that I had been accomodative of the efforts by all WP:CHICOTW and now WP:WPChi participants. Most troubling is your complaint about a policy that is under development and currently still a vision. Here are the two sides of my experience with assessment tagging (mostly for quality) User_talk:TonyTheTiger/Archive_7#Helping_out_with_the_Unassessed_Wikipedia_Biographies, User_talk:Ozgod/Archive_Old_Talk_-_2007#Assessment_Guidelines. Nonetheless, as will all policy on either page I will tend to follow the consensus on the talk pages. Can you point to an example where I was not willing to resolve the correct direction to take through discourse with open communication. TonyTheTiger ( talk/ cont/ bio) 16:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

As for references in the article, There are likely tens of thousands of WP articles that have not yet adopted the "new" format, which is a fine format, but obviously not standard in all articles yet. I would also be wary of tagging an article as having "no references" as a remedy for these older articles, many of which have "Reference" sections. I - or you, or anyone else - can create the <ref> tags within the article. - Nhprman 20:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
