Nice additions. I think it would be good to add samples of the songs as well, the one that you uploaded (the first version) would be a good way to start since it is the song that gives the title to the album and maybe also a sample of "Cryin' Time", that is mentioned by one of the critics.--GDuwenTell me! 01:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the sample. I think that the article is good enough to be nominated to GA now, thanks for the help.--GDuwenTell me! 15:22, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I withdrew the nomination because after some recommendations from another user I wasn't so sure that the article was ready to be reviewed. Do you think that is good enough?--GDuwenTell me! 21:50, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

I will try to improve the article based on other album GA's and as soon as I feel that it is ready I will nominate it again. Probably sometime during this week.--GDuwenTell me! 03:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good to me! I'll get right on that... and apologies regarding the addition of Sam Barnhart's bracelet; personal issues :) JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 18:08, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

The article Coppola family tree has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOT says Wikipedia is not a genealogical project. All of the relevant info here should and likely is stored in the articles of people in the tree notable enough to have them.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I left a note on the article's talk page, but there is already a Coppola family template. As such, would you be willing to restore the Prod? That way we don't have to go through an AfD when the objection to the prod was not correct (unless I'm misunderstanding your objection). Qwyrxian (talk) 02:09, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Sending around a mass message to editors asking them to come along to featured sound candidates to clear the backlog, but pointedly omitting to message some editors, sounds like a clear case of canvassing. Tony (talk) 03:34, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

On an unrelated note, I'd ask that you refrain from nominating any more brass band arrangements of music where such music is not wanted, regardless of whether the style of that rendition/arrangement is underrepresented at FS, they are of little EV and do not illustrate their respective articles particularly well.

Hi TonyTheTiger,

My name is Hannah and I am an MSc student at Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford. I am currently working on my thesis titled ‘The Relationship between Quality of Collaborative Knowledge and Authorship: A Comparative Case Study of Google Knol vs. Wikipedia’. I’m aiming to compare quality of articles from Google Knol and Wikipedia and I need your help in identifying what authors do to make sure they write the best quality article.

If you agree to participate, you will be interviewed via email, Skype or any other means of your choice.

With your help, I hope to learn about the impact that the unique structural design of the two services have on article quality and thus hopefully for the Internet industry, increase awareness of the implications of design choices for the quality of user-generated content.

All data you provide will be anonymised and stored confidentially. You may withdraw at any time without prejudice and without providing a reason. In the event of withdrawal, data you already provided will immediately be removed.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at hannah.kim at oii.ox.ac.uk I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Best, Hannah --Trinityhk (talk) 08:32, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

You may wish to comment in a discussion in which you were mentioned at WT:NRHP#Comment on Straw Polls, "decisions" and consensus. Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:21, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

At this point, would you be comfortable with the idea of deleting User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio_Vernon, as it's unnecessary and embarrassing? --damiens.rf 16:06, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Per request. So, you created the article. You did very little work on the article before it was nominated at T:TDYK and then at GAN, but you were the one who nominated it both times ([2][3]). Finally, you nominated it at FAC, where it failed the first time, was relisted, and passed. (You worked on it quite a bit during this time.)

Personally, I think it's iffy. The Four Award guideline that makes me the most leery is the GA requirement: "You must significantly help in improving that same article that you started/created and was displayed at the Main Page as a Did You Know..., with you being credited, to Good Article status." I really don't think you satisfied this requirement... but it's really borderline since you did nominate it at GAN...

I think I would probably let it slide, but perhaps more discussion at WT:FOUR is necessary. I know, I'm a lot of help. :/ Cheers, LittleMountain5 00:10, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi TonyTheTiger,

I have listed the page WildClaw Theatre Company for deletion at WP:Articles for deletion/WildClaw Theatre Company. Haven't been able to find anything I'd consider a reliable source for notability.

If you want to chip in, please do.

Cheers, Yunshui (talk) 14:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon , a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. --Blackmane (talk) 15:49, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Only the one was used in the ALT I selected. Harrison49 (talk) 19:57, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I've added the remaining article back to the suggestions page for later use. Sorry. Harrison49 (talk) 20:34, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

What time is the Chicago Meetup for Wikipedia?

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:09, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this should be placed on the talk page, rather than the article itself, like Category:Wikipedia featured articles and similar project categories. Could you please move the category links you've placed from articles into talk pages? Thank you, rʨanaɢ (talk) 22:38, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at Rjanag's talk page. rʨanaɢ (talk) 19:11, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Great idea, Tony, with creating Category:Four Award articles ! ;) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 03:33, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Are you going to the picnic? I live in Pekin and am planning on going I don't know where I am going though message me if you want my names Mike by the way Mike Coffey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tick1000 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes. It is in Millennium Park, which I believe has wifi. I don't know how to message you since you have blank user and user talk pages. You do not have email set up.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:23, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Tony. The topic ban discussions at AN/I have run for long enough and have a strong enough consensus in support that I've closed them as "enacted." Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I've enjoyed reviewing your work at DYK in the past, and look forward to working with you more in the future. Let me know if you have any questions. 28bytes (talk) 03:20, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I personally don't think the bans were necessary and I know you're frustrated. But I can tell you right now that trying to vacate the topic bans right away isn't going to end well. I think you'll have much more success stepping back for a while, working in other areas and requesting the ban removal in about 6 months time. For better or for worse, there's a bit of a mob mentality on WP and sometimes people like to punish folks who aren't the type to kowtow and grovel. Just a friendly note. Give it 6 months to subside and fade away and you'll probably have no problem getting them removed. Night Ranger (talk) 16:38, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Tony, after a couple of days of discussion at the ANI thread you started about vacating one of your topic bans, it is clear that this request does not have enough support. I have therefore closed your request as rejected. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 17:29, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Tony,

I am putting together a set of images for use in a university book on sustainable communities. Could I use the picture you took of Chicago City Hall to illustrate green roofs in one of the chapters? Let me know if we can use the image and what name we can credit the picture to (if we can use it). editor@thenelsondaily.com 66.244.246.8 (talk) 22:54, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, you can use it for any purpose. Not only in a book about sustainable communities, but even in a pro-Nazi book, a practical suicide tutorial or a amateur terrorist handbook. The image is freely licensed. --damiens.rf 02:44, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Tony, I still need to work on a covered bridge article and then have promised Dincher to work on a PA state park article. After that I would be OK with working on Lurie Garden. I was able to visit the park briefly recently and got some images - some have been uploaded and others not yet. I did get quite a few photos of the garden thinking of eventual expansion. I would also like to work on the Nichols Bridgeway and got some pictures of that (but then I like bridges). I have been quite busy in real life and have not had much tme here to do anything beyond peer reviews, some FAC reviews, and the occasional gnomish activity. Good to hear from you, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:13, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

As a person who I believe is interested in the Bracelet Winners templates, I feel you might like to leave your input regarding the recent major edit. Feel free to join the discussion here. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 22:15, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

At Carousel (musical), you inserted (I guess technically changed) a template for Tony award winning revivals so that it covered exactly seven musicals, from 1994 to 2000. I'm a bit worried that this template, even collapsed, won't be as useful to the reader as, perhaps, a longer list of revival award winners. Doesn't it seem a bit fragmented to you?--Wehwalt (talk) 23:44, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey there, I just nominated my article the Missouri for FAC, would be glad for comments. Shann_ºn^Talk 06:56, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi again! Thanks for all of your comments on the GAN. I have addressed your additional ones. Crystal Clear x3 21:07, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I've now corrected the images. Crystal Clear x3 21:00, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Christine Jorgensen Reveals 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! Drmies (talk) 04:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.

No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.

We would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!
