Thanks for uploading Image:800px-The cloud gate.jpg. 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, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Tony. Tinucherian ( talk · contribs) is now doing category sweeps and tagging articles for wikiprojects. I got him to do an update on WP:VIET and I'm sure he'd be willing to work with you too. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 07:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Tony -- you've expressed interest in attending another Chicago meetup this summer. I've set up the skeleton of a page for organizing something this month. Take a look at Wikipedia:Meetup/Chicago 3 -- let me know what dates you'd be available, how far you'd be willing to travel, etc., and maybe we can organize an event. best — Dan | talk 18:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

There's really no need to mention his HoF selection in the lead (apart from the way it was awkwardly phrased); it's a posthumous career honor, akin in many ways to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Koufax, Cobb and Clemente (the only HoFers with FA or GA status) all were elected in historic circumstances (first player elected, youngest player elected, posthumous special election/first Latin American player elected), and it seems reasonable to only mention the Hall in the intro if the individual's selection was similarly remarkable; besides, there are some HoFers with A-class article status who don't have the HoF mentioned in the lead.

In short, like most projects, WikiProject Chicago went through a process of tagging related articles. Unfortunately, the report doesn't clearly distinguish between project actions, and simple taggings of non-project work, and, in this case, makes a slight difference - not to the extent of making the project look bad, but to the extent that it needs edited for clarity. Unfortunately, Rudget has just left, so, since I had volunteered to do it, I've agreed to take it over, and do the necessary edits. =)
The changes won't be extensive, but if you're willing to be interviewed a bit more, it might help get a few things sorted quicker - most of the problems are in Rudget's lead. Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk) 23:55, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tony. FYI, the John McCain article is now a featured article. I noticed that you work on featured articles quite a bit, and your user page has a "Current list of pages I watch for vandalism and editorial propriety." Perhaps you'd be interested in adding McCain to the list? That article could use more eyes watching it, especially between now and the presidential election. Thanks.

I started to work on the process of moving the images from the commons to Wikipedia with Fair Use rationale, but I decided I should probably let you do this. You have already went through the process with Crown Fountain, and I think it would simply be a better idea instead of taking the risk of me messing it up. Undoubtedly, you would do the same job quicker and mostly likely better. Do you mind? -- Torsodog Talk 02:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the review later today. But just a quick note that the article doesn't need a hatnote per WP:HATNOTE because readers won't arrive at that page by mistake when they meant another article.

Yeah, I've just had a quick look and would fail it again for the same reasons. I got totally confused by the history being in two places. Nor do I like the internal structure of the history section, or the lack of flow between each section. As it stands, I would fail it again, so instead I will allow another editor to have a fresh look. Peanut4 ( talk) 16:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Tony - Yesterday was the first time I had ever moved items to the DYK Next Update, so I may have overlooked some good ones. For the older hooks, I was basically just moving items that already had green checks into the next update, and that's why I may have overlooked White. The backlog has just gotten out of control, and I was trying to do my part to help. As the Aug 19 hooks have now been dropped, not sure what I can do. Cbl62 ( talk) 14:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow! Congrats on the milestone! I consistently see you as one of the top nominators of articles at GAN. Good work!
I've started going through some of WP:CHICAGO's large number of unassessed articles, and trying to make heads or tails of it all. There's a lot so far. I'm thinking we might be able to toss a few articles off to other wikiprojects, though. For example, is it really necessary to have every song and album article from the band Chicago tagged by the wikiproject? The band's article, yes, definitely. But articles on individual songs could likely be handed off to the songs wikiproject, or a wikiproject on the band itself. This would likely help to reduce our backlog quite a bit, I think,...

DevorahLeah ( talk) 19:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)Tony, you asked me a few weeks back to check and see if I could find more information about Keith Bostic and Thomas Wilcher, and I didn't want you to think I hadn't tried. Unlike Eugene Derricotte, these two guys didn't seem to get written up in the African-American newspapers (other than brief articles about their football exploits). I intend to keep trying, but didn't want you to think I forgot about your request. Any other Chicago personalities (and also Detroit, evidently) you need an article about? As I told you, my expertise is in the history of American broadcasting, American women's history, African-American history, and American Jewish history. And it's really frustrating to me that so far, I haven't helped you on those two guys you asked about. As I said, I'll keep trying.—Preceding unsigned comment added by DevorahLeah ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I've been so ill that I haven't really been able to work on it. Can't concentrate enough. I might use something I have pre-prepared, and run it next week. Sorry =/
Thanks for uploading Image:20070621 Crown Fountain Dualism.JPG. 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) 05:16, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tony. FYI, the John McCain article is now a featured article. I noticed that you work on featured articles quite a bit, and your user page has a "Current list of pages I watch for vandalism and editorial propriety." Perhaps you'd be interested in adding McCain to the list? That article could use more eyes watching it, especially between now and the presidential election. Thanks.

I started to work on the process of moving the images from the commons to Wikipedia with Fair Use rationale, but I decided I should probably let you do this. You have already went through the process with Crown Fountain, and I think it would simply be a better idea instead of taking the risk of me messing it up. Undoubtedly, you would do the same job quicker and mostly likely better. Do you mind? -- Torsodog Talk 02:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for not following good protocol. I sent notifications to the top 10 contributers (based on the tool that you kindly linked), and also notified everyone that has made a post on the discussion page in 2008. You wrote "make the proper notifications and denote it above." I'm not sure what you mean by "denote it above?" Please let me know if there are furher actions that I should take here. Thanks again for letting me know about the notifications. Jdstany ( talk) 05:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the review later today. But just a quick note that the article doesn't need a hatnote per WP:HATNOTE because readers won't arrive at that page by mistake when they meant another article. You only need hatnotes for clarification or to direct people to a disambig page if this page was placed at Albert White. Peanut4 ( talk) 08:36, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I've just had a quick look and would fail it again for the same reasons. I got totally confused by the history being in two places. Nor do I like the internal structure of the history section, or the lack of flow between each section. As it stands, I would fail it again, so instead I will allow another editor to have a fresh look. Peanut4 ( talk) 16:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Tony - Yesterday was the first time I had ever moved items to the DYK Next Update, so I may have overlooked some good ones. For the older hooks, I was basically just moving items that already had green checks into the next update, and that's why I may have overlooked White. The backlog has just gotten out of control, and I was trying to do my part to help. As the Aug 19 hooks have now been dropped, not sure what I can do. Cbl62 ( talk) 14:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow! Congrats on the milestone! I consistently see you as one of the top nominators of articles at GAN. Good work!
I've started going through some of WP:CHICAGO's large number of unassessed articles, and trying to make heads or tails of it all. There's a lot so far. I'm thinking we might be able to toss a few articles off to other wikiprojects, though. For example, is it really necessary to have every song and album article from the band Chicago tagged by the wikiproject? The band's article, yes, definitely. But articles on individual songs could likely be handed off to the songs wikiproject, or a wikiproject on the band itself. This would likely help to reduce our backlog quite a bit, I think,...

DevorahLeah ( talk) 19:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)Tony, you asked me a few weeks back to check and see if I could find more information about Keith Bostic and Thomas Wilcher, and I didn't want you to think I hadn't tried. Unlike Eugene Derricotte, these two guys didn't seem to get written up in the African-American newspapers (other than brief articles about their football exploits). I intend to keep trying, but didn't want you to think I forgot about your request. Any other Chicago personalities (and also Detroit, evidently) you need an article about? As I told you, my expertise is in the history of American broadcasting, American women's history, African-American history, and American Jewish history. And it's really frustrating to me that so far, I haven't helped you on those two guys you asked about. As I said, I'll keep trying.—Preceding unsigned comment added by DevorahLeah ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
