I have a basic design done for the project barnstar, but no ideas for a good name. Suggestions welcome ASAP! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

How about "The Friendly Confines Barnstar"?-- LAA Fan 02:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

How about this:

		The WikiProject Chicago Cubs Barnstar!
		{{{1}}}

You can add text to it just like any other barnstar with the {{blah blah|message ~~~~}} template! It could be renamed as The Cubbies barnstar or The North Siders barnstar too. Wiki Zorro ^sign 12:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Any name is fine, but I actually went ahead and made a star graphic, like I did for WP:PHILLIES. I like the idea of having Wrigley on there, but let me go back and take a look at it. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Here's what I did:

		The Cubs Barnstar

Sweet! I couldn't find a free-cubs logo and LAA wanted it to have Wrigley field, but that ones Perfect! Wiki Zorro ^sign 15:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Well, you guys wanted me to decide, so the winner is User:Killervogel5]'s barnstar.-- RyRy5 ( talk) 15:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Took me a while to break that logo down from circles... Thanks for the appreciation, guys. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Yeah and it took me 30 seconds! Great job KV5! Wiki Zorro ^sign 20:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

To insure more users will join the project, does anyone know how to make a Wikipedia Ad? I'll have a go at it, but my chances of success are slim.-- LAA Fan 14:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

You have to make a .gif file using an external application Wiki Zorro ^sign 15:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

• Okay then. I don't know how to do that. I tried.

Do you you write a message in your barnstar, Killervogel? -- LAA Fan 15:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Same directions as above for the other. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

• I tried with the template on the project page for making it, but I had no luck. Can you show me a prototype?-- LAA Fan 16:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

I'll try to make one...  Doing... Uugh! It looks black, but...  Done I couldn't make it png, so the background is black! Wiki Zorro ^sign 20:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

• Sorry, I meant for the special Cubs barnstar. It doesn't work.-- LAA Fan 20:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Prototype Cubs barnstar

		The Cubs Barnstar
		I hereby award this barnstar to the WP:CUBS talk page for being the talk page of WP:CUBS. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 18:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Does this look more cubs-like, or is it too jazzed up? Wiki Zorro ^sign 19:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC) reply

		The Cubs Barnstar
		{{{1}}}

How about this?

		The Cubs Barnstar
		This barnstar is blah blah... KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 11:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Could the userbox have a red outline (because the cubs are red & blue)? It would look like this:

Done. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC) reply

I am currently inviting users to join this WikiProject. I am asking users listed as Cubs fans. (Only 6 members, 2 to go.) If anyone else would help me with inviting, drop me a line on my talk page.-- LAA Fan 03:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC) reply

• After looking at the page again, a member I invited joined the WikiProject!-- LAA Fan 03:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC) reply

B. Wolterding has a bot which will generate cleanup listings for projects, but the project needs a banner for this to work. So the question is, do we want to take on the task of cleaning up Cubs related pages? -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I think we do. The wikiproject is getting inactive quick.-- LAA Fan 15:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC) reply

You guys like what I did with the White Sox-Cubs rivalry article?

Hi everyone, you are invited to comment on a discussion regarding a "converged" banner template for baseball projects. The discussion is located here. — Borgarde ^talk 12:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi, I was wondering if the Minor League affiliate teams are considered part of this project? I live in Daytona Beach, Florida, and have some interest in expanding the Daytona Cubs article. Any advice would be appreciated. 07:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I made a stub for Margaret Donahue - who was enshrined the year in the new Cubs hall of fame at Wrigley. I also built a template for the Cubs HoF and added it to the page of each and every member of same.

I didn't know what else to put in the Donahue stub, so I'll defer if anyone is still active in this Project. Regards, DaffydAtzinger ( talk) 01:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC) reply
