Newsbank

You are like the third person to ask me about it. I don't know. We can still get the Sun-Times on newsbank through the Chicago Public Library though.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:02, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I know you have started making some maps. I just tried a new thing at Schwa (restaurant) that you may want to try for detail.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:58, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:File-Yokohamabaystarslogo.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:File-Yokohamabaystarslogo.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 22:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fred the Oyster (talk) 22:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Ping Tom Memorial Park GAR

Hey :) I was thinking, if you'd like more time, let's give it until Apr 17-ish, before ending the review. I don't want to keep it on hold too much longer than 50 days or so, considering the backlog. No hurry, but just giving you a teensy heads-up :) Rcej (Robert) - talk 03:43, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

What is going on with this?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm waiting for the nominator to complete the GAR task. Rcej (Robert) - talk 01:38, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Chicago Meetup and update

Last fall you indicated that you continue to be active with WP:CHICAGO. If you continue to be active please update your active date at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/members. Also, we are planning a Chicago Meetup. If you will be able to attend the meetup from 10:30-11:45 a.m. on Saturday May 1, 2010 at the UIC Student Center West, please sign as an indication of your intent.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:30, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Calling in a favor

Hey Torsodog, you asked that if I needed another pair of eyes at some point, you might be available. I'm getting ready to nominate Jocko Thompson for GA, so if you're interested, I could use either a look-over beforehand, or, if you're interested in doing the full review, let me know and I'll tell you when I've posted it. Thanks! KV5 (Talk • Phils) 12:01, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to go over it. I'm going to be busy tonight though, so give me a day. I'm hesitant to do a full review, as I have never really officially reviewed a GAN candidate. If I start really getting into my look-over though and I feel good about it, I have no problem just converting it into a GA review. I'll let you know. --Torsodog^Talk 20:18, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem, I'm not stressing over any kind of extreme timeline. You can just drop some comments on the talk page of the article or on my talk page, and then I'll just let you know once I've finished them and once I nominate it for GA. If you're not comfortable doing the full GA review, no worries. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 14:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Yomiuri Giants

Based on the contributions you've made to articles about Japanese baseball, I was wondering if you were up to an able to making edits to league rosters so that it displays the flag of the country each player comes from. I attempted to but could not access information an English on NPL players.(Baseballclarity (talk) 03:23, 1 April 2010 (UTC))

I'd be willing to help, but we'll wait until the discussion on WikiProject Baseball is over! --Torsodog^Talk 19:38, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Tokyo tower lighting pre-1989.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Tokyo tower lighting pre-1989.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Chicago Cubs FT?

Any thoughts on pursuing a WP:GT or WP:FT with Chicago Cubs. I see all the work you did at List of Chicago Cubs managers and notice that List of Chicago Cubs Opening Day starting pitchers is also a WP:FL.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:23, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I would be interested in giving that topic a go. Any idea of how many articles we're looking at for the topic? --Torsodog^Talk 04:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Japan MVP Award

Hello! Your submission of Japan Series Most Valuable Player Award at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 23:41, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Star Wars Rouge Squadron IMDb

I added the link to that title's IMDb entry because it provides voice cast and crew detail that the article does not. In addition, a reader may want to learn more about things related to the game not covered in the article. Many video game articles on Wikipedia link to their IMDb page if one exists. dogman15 (talk) 10:14, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Maps

It is not overkill in most articles that have no maps. In the Millennium Park articles, it is just a matter of determining which scale complements the special park template. I think at some scale a map showing where this is in the city is helpful at a glance. I am just not sure which scale to use.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:03, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Have you tried nominating any of your pictures at WP:FPC?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I nominated the BP Bridge one a loooong time ago and the whole experience kinda soured me. I just got a new camera though, so I might try again sometime soon. I'll keep you updated if I nominate anything. --Torsodog^Talk 14:03, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Would you be interested in taking some photos of Lurie Garden. It must be possible to get shots on a better day than what we have.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:30, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
