We are going to go through another round of consideration for Category:Top-importance Chicago articles. Last August your votes helped us decide our last round of promotions. Please consider the articles at WT:CHIASSESS and voice your opinion on whether they should be on the ballot near the end of January when we are considering our next round of promotions.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 02:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I noticed that you removed some unnecessary external links in the qrcode page. I agree some of them were superfluos but I think it's very usefull to have links to source code. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.140.6.121 (talk) 21:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Maybe, although of very limited use to a general audience. Given the amount of spam that article gets I try to keep the number of external links to a minimum using the guidelines at WP:EL. People wanting lots of links will use the search engine or directory of their choice anyway.—Jeremy (talk) 22:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am revising List of Chicago Landmarks for new designations since July 2003. You will see many redlinks that need articles if we want to retain WP:FL status. For details of the update that is underway see the talk page. Please help out and create some articles.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 04:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I see you have protected the page and stated it was receiving vandalism from multiple sources. The alleged vandalism is a link to a very popular news site about 2d bar codes. Shouldn't it have struck you as important enough to investigate if you realized that so many different people were posting this relevant link. Meanwhile, you maintain that the link to another news article is indeed worthy. What is your agenda here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CChungg (talk • contribs) 19:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
CChungg - Please take a look at WP:EL (and also please sign your comments). The repeatedly arising site in question isn't a specific article on the topic in question, but rather a blog able to be given to the whim of future content changes without the moderation of wiki editors. Additionally, since you've thrown the first snide bit here, i have to ask what the agenda is for a person who's only two wiki contributions have been the restoration of repeatedly removed external sites. Quaeler (talk) 22:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
My agenda is make current information available to everyone about this exciting technology. By locking the article, you've decided what content is notable and have decided that only a blog entry written by a semi-credible source two years ago is the only outside news source. Also, seeing as www.lunaQR.com and Luna based out of Toronto are the ones bringing this technology to North America, with the backing of Microsoft amongst others, it would seem very relevant to link to their non commercial website which in fact does not sell anything, but is simply an educational resource and provides a free online QR code generator that is even used as an example in this discussion page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CChungg (talk • contribs) —Preceding comment was added at 01:41, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
You clearly have an agenda then, as the only edits you make are in the interest of making links related to this Luna development company. (QR Codes and Microsoft Dynamics) Quaeler (talk) 08:27, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
You ask what my agenda is here... I am helping to write an encyclopedia. On the other hand you appear to be trying to promote a blog--Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a directory. The other news article can go too, I would never have reverted its removal--I have only ever reverted when it was replaced with a blog link. —Jeremy (talk) 13:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
So remove it then and replace it with some relevant references to the information contained within this article. There is a single reference to Denso Wave and nothing more. Where did the rest of this information come from? --CChungg (talk) 19:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations on an interesting article about this important railroad bridge. It looks like it is making it to DYK. I would like to question its claim, though, that it was the longest and heaviest bascule bridge when it opened. See the comments on the article's talk page. Thanks.

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Ultimate Guitar Archive, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

For some reason (I suspect because of the deleted templates that you were using in your infobox), this work in progress article in your sandbox (User:JeremyA/Sandbox/Crookes) was causing it to show up as WP:CSD candidate. Since there was no tag on the article, it was obviously an error. Anyway, I ended up commenting out the infobox, and now it no longer shows up in CSD. Hope you don't mind, but I didn't want the article accidentally deleted altogether. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 04:31, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I have noticed your inclusion of this outline map in the Bramall Lane article and I was wondering whether you could help me to create a similar one for Leeds for use in the Elland Road article. Cheers, Kaboooz LUFCTC 10:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. That's the idea, but I think It'd be better with the stadium's location within a map of Leeds with UK. I just didn't know how to get a map of Leeds as you have for Sheffield and, having done that, how to pinpoint the location of the stadium. Kaboooz LUFCTC 19:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I think that's beyond me, but it would be great if you could create one at some stage. You don't need to do it right away though, of course – I'm sure you've got better things to do. Thanks for the offer though, Kaboooz LUFCTC 19:45, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

J: I'm writing on behalf of The Jewish Museum. Recently you removed numerous links I had posted from several artist pages. In your comments to me you asked that I review the External Link policy. Having done so, it seems that I need to ask editors to post my institution's recommended links. If I proceed this way, what is the estimated time frame?

The format of the member list has been altered to:
allow easier editing for new members
assist members to communicate more easily (by including members talk pages)
allow member to keep up to date with each other's contributions
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

Images! There is a shortage of good images in Yorkshire related articles, particularly on pages about smaller settlements. A good place to start would be the requested photographs category but please remember that there are many articles not within this category that have the same need.
Assessment "Assess and review Assessment of Yorkshire related articles has been brought up to date recently, but needs constant maintenance.
Last but not Least... Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is in permanent need of attention. Please take a look and see what you can do.

I thought I would mention to you that since our agreement a long time ago to limit the number of photos in Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago), several new templates have been created to accommodate many photos in the text of articles. I have used {{multiple image}} to include several more images than we had previously agreed in the development and construction sections. I just renominated the article at WP:GAC with all the photos.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 23:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

A template you created, Template:Ntd, has been marked for deletion as a deprecated and orphaned template. If, after 14 days, there has been no objection, the template will be deleted. If you wish to object to its deletion, please list your objection here and feel free to remove the {{deprecated}} tag from the template. If you feel the deletion is appropriate, no further action is necessary. Thanks for your attention. Bryan Derksen (talk) 04:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Last month the format of the member list was altered to:
allow easier editing for new members
assist members to communicate more easily (by including members talk pages)
allow members to keep up to date with each other's contributions
It had to be changed again before the May Newsletter went out to allow easier, more efficient, circulation by the ENewsBot. The Bot worked like magic last month but slightly complicated the signing up process, particularly for novice users.

User:Cyberdemon007 has made a lot of edits to North Yorkshire settlement infoboxes. Thank you.
There have been more WikiProkject Yorkshire editors on vandal patrol on watchlist , just lately. Thanks it's really good to know that you have others in support.
A big "thank you" to all the editors who help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed. If you patrol the recent changes regularly you "get to know" the editors and their specialities quite well.
York - B - Main problems are lack of references and the lists, also the external links section would need a major prune before a GA review.Maybe ask for peer review when these are done? Bath, Somerset is an FA and a good role model.
Yorkshire and the Humber - Start. The article has been reorganised and expanded (some sections with no text are there on the source page but are commented out at the moment). It could do with more citations.
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

Article improvement
One of the aims of our project was to set up a periodic Article improvement drive. The article on our county town of York is suggested for this month. Please discuss and/or make edits to move towards WP:GA? status for our first selected article.
Please remember...
The project is now subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.
Monitor Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Infoboxes Many of our articles would benefit from the addition of an appropriate infobox. Useful ones include:
The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.
References Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference.
Moves Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR.
