In the Grayslake Article it says that Scottie Pippen considers Grayslake his 2nd home town. I doubt he even has been there.
Is there any place specific that we are placing maps of Illinois? Especially the ones that show the locations of cities/towns/villages? -- Kranar drogin 22:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Per Help:Image_page#Categorizing_images "Images can be in the same category as other pages." I'd say categorize the images the same as the article. Or, if there are a bunch for Peoria, for example, make a category, like Category:Images of Peoria, Illinois and make it a sub cat of Category:Images of Illinois then categorize the images there. I'd also say not to upload a bunch of images just for the sake of having a gallery. Only upload images that are useful in wikipedia articles, upload gallery material to the commons and like the wikipedia article to commons. -- Dual Freq 00:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't know who's watching this page, but
commons:Category:Age pyramids for counties in Illinois has a bunch of age pyramids for Illinois counties, used in the German wikipedia, (for an example see:
de:Adams County (Illinois)). Maybe we could add those images to Illinois counties here as well. Just a thought. Thanks for the help. --

Oops, I didn't even notice the list only contained 52 of the 102 counties. -- Dual Freq 01:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I have been using this city template for towns and cities of the county I am working on, example Oregon. The map blew up big time since I don't have a seal or flag for it yet. Is there maybe generic images we can plug into there that might shrink this map down? I should prolly have them in a few days hopefully this week. Thanks.-- Kranar drogin 14:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Also, just because information is in the infobox it doesn't need to be removed from the text. Some of the information is part of the standardized what that all the city articles are laid out. It gives the encyclopedia a standardized look and feel. -- Dual Freq 21:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Do Illinois residents think of their cities as settlements? Well, check out Category:Settlements in Illinois that's as of today in your category hierarchy. I reverted it out for Kentucky, and I recommend all states do it as well. Kentucky uses "Subdivisions" and Massachusetts uses "Administrative divisions" (both reasonable). "Settlements" are for pioneer days, not for contemporary political subdivisions. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 04:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I've added some additional functionality to Template:WikiProject Illinois adding |small=yes creates a smaller version if there is little room for the template, like on Talk:Abraham Lincoln. Additionally to aid is article improvement, I've added a "class=" variable. Classes are FA, A, GA, B, start, stub, dab, image, redirect, Template, category or list. Assignment places the article in the appropriate category. All articles join Category:WikiProject Illinois articles and all articles without a class= variable are assigned to Category:Unassessed WikiProject Illinois articles. Assessments should be done according to Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. Category:WikiProject Illinois is where to start looking for WP:Illinois articles and allows viewing of related subcategories. -- Dual Freq 22:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree with a common county template idea, maybe you would have better luck negotiating a common format before there are a dozen different templates. I've tweaked the DuPage county one a bit to give it a similar feel, but I still oppose splitting other counties into sizes in a similar manor. I also made a project page to show all the templates we have side by side. Wikipedia:WikiProject Illinois/Templates. I could see the transportation section, but it might just become a big list of interstates and US Highways. Points of interest also seem rather subjective and may be hard to nail down the criteria for template inclusion. -- Dual Freq 03:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Illinois now has an assessment page (stolen borrowed from WikiProject Missouri) at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Illinois/Assessment. I'm not master assessor, but I did an AWB run to move items already ranked as stubs from the unassessed category. It looks like anyone can make an article a stub or start, but class B, GA, A and FA require specific guidelines be followed. Feel free to move items from unassessed to stub or start as you see fit. B class can be assigned to the better articles, but make sure they are worthy of it. GA and FA go through a specific process beyond our control. Thanks for the help. --

I see that other states have this category, Category:Townships in Illinois, is this something we should create to have all of Illinois' townships in?-- Kranar drogin 03:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I DO NOT know how to program but couldn't this bot be used to cover all the townships in Illinois and if a county is divided into precints it could ignore them or be modified to produce the pages? George 01:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I created the category. It looks like we are going to have to come up with an alternative to rambot created township articles. I think we will have to manually create stubs to de-redlink List of townships in Illinois similar to the stubs in Category:Townships in Ohio. Wikipedia:WikiProject Ohio townships has some basic rules for township articles, I think we should follow those rules and stick to the naming convention used in the list article, List of townships in Illinois ( Township name, County name, Illinois ). All I can find for maps are these two links: township pdf maps and county pdf maps. Unfortunately those will have to be converted to be used here. -- Dual Freq 05:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I propose we name the images similar to: Image:Map of Ogle County Illinois highlighting Brookville Township.png Of course use the extension that is correct. I think the preferred extension is .svg or .png. I don't have software to create .svg files so I will probably upload .png files. As for categories, please create a subcategory of Category:Illinois maps with an appropriate name like Category:Maps of Ogle County Illinois and put all the maps for that county there. If you have a separate account for the commons and the file is public domain, upload it there and categorize them in commons:Category:Maps of Illinois with a similar category name. -- Dual Freq 15:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
You could also add the Template:Infobox Township to each new stub, most of it would be blank, but you could fill in the blanks later and it gives an idea what other township articles have. I'm looking for a population source for townships, I saw it somewhere I just need to find it again. -- Dual Freq 16:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Population and other info for townships can be found at factfinder.census.gov Select Census 2000 Summary File 1 (SF 1) 100-Percent Data and detailed tables then on the next page from Select a geographic type chose county subdivision then pick the state, county and township you want adding it to the list at bottom. Then it should printout the population for the township. For Example, selecting all subdivisions for Ogle County yields 3 pages the first page showing this:

It might be worth making a template for each county like Template:Bucks County, Pennsylvania that lists all the townships of the county. Alternately you could just append Template:Illinois, but I personally think that thing is too big and the list of towns looks like it should be named template:chicagoland instead. I made a lame Template:Vermilion County, Illinois before I saw the Pennyslvania one, so I might redo it. -- Dual Freq 18:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I fixed the double category thing. I think the rest is OK. I found a 12 MB PDF file that includes township maps at the end. 700+ pages maps are in section F. -- Dual Freq 02:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me that it would be most efficient to name township articles with "name Township, Illinois" than than "name Township, name County, Illinois" for several reasons: 1) users are more apt to type the shorter version in the GO or Search windows. 2) authors are more likely to refer to the shorter version in text (eliminating the need for pipes in every reference.) 3) township names are unique. In general, article names should reflect the official or proper name of the entity. The county name is not a part of the official or proper name of the township. Racepacket 05:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
By your reasoning, I assume this is Racepacket since you never sign your posts, then you should not have Illinois in the title also. That in all honesty it should only be the township name. Really, in a perfect world, I would agree, but with there being so many townships out there, adding in the county is the best solution and it stays uniform with the other states that have done townships already. A person coming to the Wiki is going to type in the name of the township in all actuallity, and leave out the state and the term township. I also don't see your reasoning here with the populations, are you saying that because townships near Chicago are larger than the smaller counties that they are more important? I don't agree with that at all. I will have an Admin step in and give his suggestion. I think this will be fair and I will abide by what he suggests we do.-- Kranar drogin 22:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I think that a page on this should be developed. Illinois is home of many smart people, and great coaches(Sean Payton, the New Orleans Saints coach, grew up in Naperville) Znsga 01:09, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
It would be nice to get some details as to the area that Illinois congressional districts covered over the years. Does anyone have a source of maps or descriptions of the Illinois congressional districts prior to 2003? History of 19th Century congressional redistricting in Ohio looks like almost an ideal article to strive toward. -- Dual Freq 05:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Any Metro-east experts here? The article was created listing 10 counties, then it was changed to 11 counties last year. Now it is down to 6 counties. Greater St. Louis only includes 5 Illinois counties. Does anyone have any cited info on what Metro-east actually is? -- Dual Freq 19:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I thought I would pose this question here. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a child project focused on water bodies of Illinois. I had two thoughts here. One was that we could do Illinois Waterways, rivers, streams, creeks etc, of which coverage is woefully inadequate and/or highly unorganized. The other thought was that we could do water bodies of Illinois, basically all of the aforementioned plus lakes and major ponds. We could settle questions like naming conventions, which are, at the best helter-skelter. That kind of question is something we could pass along to other state projects. Anyone interested? Have any thoughts? Post them here, if we have enough support we shall propose said project. A mcmurray 06:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, we've got Category:Lakes of Illinois and Category:Illinois waterways with Category:Rivers of Illinois listed under it. User:M dorothy was involved in many of those articles, may they could help. As for a child project, it seems compatible with and within the scope of this project. You can create what ever subpages you need, similar to the ones listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Illinois#Project_divisions. There is also a Wikipedia:WikiProject Lakes and a Wikipedia:WikiProject Rivers. I bet they have naming conventions and infoboxes that Illinois lakes and rivers can / should use. -- Dual Freq 02:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Wanted to let you all know that the new city infobox can be found here Template talk:Infobox City. When you work on cities and villages, you will want to use this updated one from now on.-- Kranar drogin 22:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcumber/ilctybnd/ilall.htm has an interesting look at historical county boundaries. It would be nice if we could have something similar for The Illinois county article, maybe an artistic person could take that up. Looking at the images gives some perspective on the initial settling of Illinois, with the southern part organizing into counties before the northern part. It's also interesting that a county like Putnam was huge, taking up the bulk of northern Illinois, but now it is one of the smallest counties in the state, same with Edwards County. Anyway, I'm posting this here in case anyone wants to do anything with it. -- Dual Freq 15:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
