Please look at Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation#Categories. I am looking at some articles that I was trying to clean out of your cleanup list and ran into three that are now at issue.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 12:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
This was probably an erroneous tag before we had refined subcategory usage for WP:CHIBOTCATS. Many of the railroad cats had articles that were only slightly related to the project although we tagged them at first.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 04:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I thought Indiana Territory was as much a part of the project as Illinois. Do you think I am stretching things? Maybe we don't have a category for these articles.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 05:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Category:Sports in Chicago, Illinois is a decent category for No Mercy (2007). Create a cook county category if necessary for suburban events. Anything at Toyota Park (Bridgeview) or Allstate Arena should be in our project. Just come up with a policy. Either include them in a Chicago cat or create a Cook County cat.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 14:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Categories is very detailed. It is taking me a while to grasp it all. What does the table on the right all mean.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 04:50, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to help with editing this page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Categories, because there are a few things that may need to be clarified. I think the dichotomy between the categories for main namespace and the project space, which is almost always related to "talk" pages only needs to be emphasized. In addition, maybe we should create: Category:Chicago Wikipedia administration? Projects that use this type of administration are listed in: Category:Wikipedia administration by topic, and may serve a useful purpose in following their style of organization. -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 16:40, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for offer and suggestion. I moved your suggestions to

From the page at Wikipedia talk:What is an article? it looks as though you initiated the development of a page about the definition of an "article". The page evolved into a very well written document. With it and the wp:categorization document I built up a good Wiki vocabulary. However, everywhere I look, "article" is grossly misused, relative to the definition given in "What is an article?". That misuse is spread far and wide by developers. To me it seems that the misuse is so great that it renders the wp:What is an article? page obsolete. I wish that was not the case. Here is an example: Category:Template-Class articles - there isn't a single article, infered or otherwise, in this category list, but its title says there are. I go crazy when the title says "article" and its filled with talk pages, images, projects, portals, or even talk pages. It seems to me most people have started to use "article" to mean any namespace basic page and sometimes it is even a talk page. In one document I used the word "page" and it baffled people to such a degree that it as changed to article! Do you see the same thing? Should anything be done about it? If this has been brought up before, please direct me to the page. Somebody said it was brought up before but could not remember where. Pknkly ( talk) 11:44, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. I can't take credit for starting the project, just for reviving it. It is now active and with you and a few more could be a thriving project. Keep up your efforts.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 04:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Do you follow the discussions at WP:CHIAA? I haven't seen your commentary on any of them. I don't look so closely, but the project is trying to get WP:CHIFTD over the hump and the current nomination ( Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/McDonald's Cycle Center/archive2) could use some commentary.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 03:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
As I look at Category:Cycling in Chicago, Illinois, I am curious about why each article should also be in Category:Chicago, Illinois just because it may be in this category.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 15:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
