Matt Granite
Hi,
You deprodded Matt Granite on the basis of him being an Emmy winner. He won a Lower Great Lakes Emmy Award, not an Emmy Award. As this may (or may not) change your mind about keeping this product of paid editing, you may be interested in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Granite. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:02, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Pop out cake
On 5 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pop out cake, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an early predecessor of the pop out cake was a pie from which a dwarf emerged for Charles I of England in 1626? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pop out cake. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Pop out cake), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Chicago travel question
Asking you because there's not a ton of activity at Wikivoyage:Wikivoyage:Tourist office.
I'm thinking of making a trip to central Chicago to get photos of sites on National Register of Historic Places listings in Central Chicago for my personal photo collection. Of course, I know that I shouldn't drive into downtown, so I'm thinking of going to one of the SouthShore stations around the state line, either East Chicago or Hegewisch, from which trains to downtown leave at 6:20 and 6:32 respectively, according to the schedule. The idea would basically be to walk around until it's late enough that I need to take the return train. If I'd do this, I'd look to stay in Lafayette, Indiana overnight, and leave early; Google Maps says it's about an hour and a half drive ignoring traffic (i.e. if I leave at 5AM Eastern, I would arrive around 5:30AM Central), and as I've previously driven into the Indiana suburbs (as far as Whiting) early on weekday mornings, I'm thinking that an extra hour would be reasonable.
Do you have any opinions on this idea, whether "don't take SouthShore; something else is better", or "your timing is excessively optimistic", or anything else? Nyttend (talk) 13:11, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
- I don't use the trains much. I don't know the stations. There are some places where you could actually park for a long day without consequences. The Target at Clark and Roosevelt is in central Chicago.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:19, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- I could put you up for a night depending on when you are coming. For the next few weeks, I will be taking Monday-Wednesday off. Thus I could host you Sun-Tues night.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:22, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, you recently reverted changes I made to the article on Heather Stewart-Whyte. Can you please help me understand the best way to correct errors on that page, given my possible COI? There are unsourced errors of fact, such as the number of sisters that she lived with and the years that she was active in modelling. But the most damaging error is the suggestion that she had an arrest warrant out in her name; this is linked to reference that does not exist. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.Alexalterbridge (talk) 14:58, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Alexalterbridge, For each fact that you think needs to be corrected, you must find a source from a WP:RS to back up the changes that you would like to make. I see that the source for the arrest warrant stuff is now dead. I have removed the content.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:51, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Reid Travis
Hello TonyTheTiger,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Reid Travis for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Celestinesucess (talk) 15:28, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
