County infoboxes
What infoboxes do we use for counties? Could you make sure the Illinois counties all get upgraded at some point, starting with our area? For instance, Whiteside County, Illinois looks like an older infobox, don't we have one more like I have seen on cities and villages? IvoShandor (talk) 03:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Would the city one work, we could just leave certain parameters blank maybe? I like the one we're using now, and the new maps are king of cool. IvoShandor (talk) 06:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Either way, if I don't just go ahead, you seem to have been the infobox master in the past so I wouldn't want to usurp said title. :) IvoShandor (talk) 06:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad to see both you and Ivo back and editing. Regarding use of the Geobox for counties, I did some experimenting with this idea back in the fall.  I used the Geobox as is and called the "Region" subset which provides all or most of the parameters that currently exist in Template:Infobox U.S. County as well as some new ones.  You can see an example of it at User:VerruckteDan/sandbox8.  I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this example.  I think its about time that counties got a revamped infobox and hopefully this is the start of that process.  VerruckteDan (talk) 23:04, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Your question
Looks like it transferred, but still needs to be reviewed, not sure why. Also, do you have a "regular" picture of Stillman Creek, we need a non-flooded one to illustrate the lead with. IvoShandor (talk) 02:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably just some sort of glitch with your picture, I am sure it's no big deal. No hurry on the creek, I thought you might have one on hand, so whenever you have time. IvoShandor (talk) 02:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Image question
There's absolutely no problem; that's just a stock notice for the en->commons web transfer interface reminding users to properly categorize the image. Since that's already been done, you can safely ignore it. :) east. 718 at 02:45, May 7, 2008

Infobox change
Could you hook up Streator, Illinois with a new infobox please sir? Also, the map in the box on Seneca, Illinois lacks its locater dot. IvoShandor (talk) 12:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks man! IvoShandor (talk) 16:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Fox River Grove pictures (accident)
However, all of the pictures had been moved to the Commons, which is why I did it. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 13:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Midway Village
Since I mostly focus on Registered Historic Places, probably not, I don't think anything at Midway Village is listed unless Indian Hill Manor and Historic District is related, which I don't think it is. I would like it if you would take a look at List of Registered Historic Places in Scott County, Minnesota and let me know what you thought about it. I'm kinda diggin' it and thinking maybe we should go ahead an implement the style changes to our NRHP lists. I do need some photos still in Rockford but nothing I can't handle at some point unless you have extra time on your trip.IvoShandor (talk) 13:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Two other things
 * 1. We also need articles for all the Illinois River locks and dams (see Illinois Waterway, which are, incidentally, also historic districts. I think we should drop the historic districts from the titles and just use a section in the article about it. I have photos of the Marseilles L&D (not the greatest because I couldn't get close, risk of arrest or some nonsense) and the Starved Rock L&D (there's one in the waterway article).
 * 2. Category:Illinois River is pretty sorry. We could use Category:Mississippi River for some ideas but it needs to be populated, probably with a few subcats. Anyway, just some food for though.
 * IvoShandor (talk) 16:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I bet I can make a map. IvoShandor (talk) 09:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I responded on my page, I am taking a break, my response will have more explanation. --IvoShandor (talk) 12:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello
I have not talked to you in a while. I made a great discovery at Wikipedia_talk:CHICAGO that might be useful for WP:ILLINOIS. I think many Governors from this era could use good photos.

Also, I don't know if your are familiar with my experiment at WP:LOTM, I wonder if you might consider casting a ballot at User:TonyTheTiger/List of the Day/voting/200806. Voting is very light this month, which is why I am asking.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't check commons very often and as standards change for fair use claims and licensing tags need to be revised or things would be deleted, I would miss notices. It seems like every week I get a notice on WP that a tag needs to be revised.  The latest wrinkle is that the article name needs to be linked in the license (Di-missing article links).--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

POV
One of the good things about writing about creeks and parks is there is not too much room for POV (although even there it can sneak in). The odd thing with Bedford is he does not revert when people change the term and link (so why put the POV link in there in the first place?). Take care, and let me know what I can do Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I have an article at FAC and Dincher and I have another one at PR that is nealry ready for FAC. I would be glad to try and help - one problem is that I have a lot of sources for Pennsylvania rivers, but not too many that apply out of state. Stillmans Creek looks like it is more developed and may be easier to expand. Since there are no deadlines on Wikipedia, I will work on it as I can over the next few weeks. Sound OK? Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support at FAC - I will add the dots to the map this weekend. Is there a Stillman Creek Watershed Association? Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 14:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * A watershed association is for preservation of the stream and its watershed - several of the creeks I am slowly working on have them (see here, at the bottom) and they are often sources of information on a creek. State parks are on the dot map, will check on adding that too. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 15:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Creeks and lakes (contd.)
Thanks for your bringing the list of Illinois protected areas and assoicated redlinks to my attention. I have worked on the list a bit today, as follows: if (a) a lake or other body of water is is fairly small, and (b) the body of water is a major feature of a State protected area. and (c) the article about the protected area mentions and briefly describes the body of water, and (d) even with this description included the protected-area article looks like it will be of "stub" length for a long time to come, then my own impulse is to consolidate the body-of-water information into the protected-area article and make the body-of-water reference a redirect. So I have created some redirects today.

Some people disagree with this consolidationist (what a label!) point of view. If this is important to you let me know what you think. Bigturtle (talk) 22:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Our Illinois DNR is currently suffering from severe budget problems and that may have an effect on their Internet outreach to the general public. Bigturtle (talk) 14:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

State park areas
Hi Kranar, the statement is only that (not a table) and is 15 years old (1993). Since Illinois seems to count things like state forests as part of its park system, it is a bit of an apples and oranges comparison. Pennsylvania has quite extensive state forests and and game lands too. I do not know of a list of total park areas by state, but will add as of 1993 to the FL. Thanks and sorry, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 12:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Top Importance Chicago Articles
If you want to help me choose Category:Top-importance Chicago articles, come comment at WikiProject_Chicago/Assessment by June 5th.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 13:46, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks, I will have some questions on Stillmans Creek soon, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Illinois protected areas
Hi Kranar, I added infoboxes and dot maps for Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge*, Fults Hill Prairie State Natural Area, and Lincoln Trail Homestead State Memorial*. I restored the map with locator dot for White Pines Forest State Park* and Starved Rock State Park (they had had the map at one point, but it had been replaced by a photo in both cases). I also added the three marked with an asterisk to the State parks of Illinois map.

If you want, we now use the Geobox for protected areas on Pennsylvania parks and it lets you have both a picture and a map in the box. The map can be at the top if there is no picture or at the bottom if there is. I think the map is even calibrated so the dot is generated automatically from the latitude and longitude. See Worlds End State Park for an example using the Geobox that DIncher and I have been working a lot on recently.

You also asked ''I am working on List of protected areas of Illinois and can't really decided what to do with Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park. Its 75 miles in length, following the canal. Should I convert this into acres and then add it in the acres section? How have you guys been going about it?'' Unfortuantley you can't go from a length to an area. There are several "linear" parks similar to this in PA - Bucktail State Park, Delaware Canal State Park and Lehigh Gorge State Park come to mind. We made special one use maps with the park shown in red (not a dot). We also dug around and found areas, but for Delaware Canal for a long time we just had the length (60 miles) in the article and Geobox.

I have not forgotten Stillmans Creek, just been busy. Take care, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 19:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Seal of Rochelle.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Seal of Rochelle.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:08, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Stillman Creek
I added a Geobox to Stillman Creek (Illinois). Does it look OK? Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:20, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad to see you back and hope Ivo is doing OK (if you are in contact with him, please say Hi from me). I will work on the creek some more - I can add to the course next - do you know of any source for the length or watershed area. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 14:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Images of Jo Daviess County
Hi Kranar! I just uploaded another image for Apple River Township, Jo Daviess County, Illinois, to set it apart from Stagecoach Trail and its image. As with Scales Mound Township, Jo Daviess County, Illinois, I have preferred an image from the unincorporated area for the township. You may want to take a look! Best regards, gidonb (talk) 18:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

UFO spotted in Flagg Township photo.
A strange saucer like object has been spotted in your photo of Flagg Township outside Rochelle, IL. The pixel coordinates of the object is approximately (2004,595) within the photo. Mattplum64 (talk) 11:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * First off, I must say, that is pretty cool that you saw that. The image in question is located here. Sorry to burst the theory though, but that is just a pigeon. I went back to my originals, and I actually have pictures taken almost at the same exact time of that building. Difference is about 1 second. This one here is actually the second of the two, and the previous one you can see the bird flapping its wings as it was going in a straight path. I have uploaded the first one too, so you man see that here. Thanks though for getting my hopes up, it was kinda cool!--Kranar drogin (talk) 02:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Reassessment?
Hi, Kranar drogin...I've been adding to the Lincolnshire, Illinois article, and I believe that it certainly deserves more than a Start-class, although it is awaiting a copyedit. I recall that you took a look at a lot of the school district articles that I had written before, and I figured maybe you would be willing to take time to look at the article and reassess it. I would really appreciate it if you did.

Thanks and cheers, --Starstriker7(Say hior see my works) 23:11, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Category:Images of Alton, Illinois
I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Criteria for speedy deletion. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding to articles/categories that belong in it.

I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with db-author.

Township naming
Greetings! I realize you are busy elsewhere and hope all is well with you. If you should see this soon and wish to participate -- on my talk page, someone recently began questioning the naming of township articles in a rather egregious manner. I and several others who have done work in the area of township articles have preferred "X Township, Y County, Z State", and I believe you may agree with that from what I've seen in past discussions. Just thought you might be able to provide another calm voice in that discussion. Omnedon (talk) 22:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:ClydeTombaugh.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:ClydeTombaugh.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Non-free rationale for File:The Dragonlance Nexus.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:The Dragonlance Nexus.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:49, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
