Can you send me an email? I have additional sourcing that may be helpful to you in your efforts to get the Four Freedoms to FA. I have a source that makes points that I think add to what you have already said.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Orel Hershiser's scoreless innings streak to FA status recently. I know you know all about WP:TFAR (specific and non-specific date slots) and the "pending" list, so this is just a reminder to use them as and when suits you. Many thanks.

Four Freedoms - ambiguous criticism?
Sorry to express my confusion on such a old edit, but one sentence stuck out as almost a non-sequitur, confusing me.
 * "Others have pointed to the universality of the Freedom of Religion as disconcerting to practitioners of particular faiths."

Maybe it is my own liberal bias showing, but this just reads weird. The only sense I can make out of it is, that individuals who would allow only for the existence of their own religion, are disturbed by the advocacy for the permitted existence of any other religions? Is that what was being mentioned? Or is it the implicit trans-national aspect that disturbs - you will be required to allow this freedom in your country just as we have 'here'. I'm at a loss how to disambiguate. Perhaps adding words something like 'exclusionary', 'exclusive', 'purist', 'cross-national', etc. ? Is there a chance you could go back and glance at that source article and glean the exact meaning of the mentions? (And thank you for all that work I see you did so long ago!)

Absolute near uselessness of trying to reason with RH

Great American Wiknic 2014 - Chicago
I'd like to invite you to add a Chicago event for the Great American Wiknic. This year we're aiming to coalesce nationally around July 6, but any date that is convenient to your local community works as well. And don't be shy about putting something preliminary on the national Wiknic page, it all helps!--Pharos (talk) 16:36, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Yeah. It looks like the folks at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library are interested in helping us out and reaching out to the public, which is great news.  12 July looks like a tentative date for meeting up.  I, JethroBT  drop me a line 17:00, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

 * , I may be able to make that date. You should post this atop WP:CHICAGO and WT:CHICAGO. Also, check with the DC Wikimania chapter. They may still have funds available for an event like this. I think you could ask them for $100 for food. That is how I bought the food and drink last year.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 08:05, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Misty Copeland, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Metropolitan Opera House and Backstage (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Article history errors
On several occasions now, you have tried to update the article history of an article recently promoted to FA, but in doing so you have introduced an error into the article history. Please check when you update the AH: if there is an error, a redlink category is introduced at the bottom of the talk page. It may be better to wait until the FAC is closed and the AH can be fully updated; part of the problem is that you are doing a partial update. Thanks. Sarastro1 (talk) 14:00, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Worthy of good article?
Hey Tony! Hope all is well. I admire your work with article reviewing, and if you're not busy, I was wondering if you could give some quick input on an article I recently wrote? Article in question is David Hudson (pioneer); I'm hoping to get it to GA status, but was wondering if you could provide some quick preliminary input on whether or not it's close to fruition, and/or what could be worked on. I plan on working on the prose and requesting a GOCE review in the meantime. I understand the requirements for GAs, but this would be my first time working on one, so some input would be great. Thanks so much! ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 04:18, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * , the article stands a very good chance at WP:GAC. I would nominate it.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 08:09, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * From a quick look, it looks almost ready to go to a GA review. Two things that leaped out immediately were the the Howe source referencing "p. 626 - 130" which sounds like a typo, and plus that and the Hyde source seems to be used a lot without qualifying it with page numbers (unless it truly is a bunch of facts picked off one page). I'd get those sorted out first, as they may cause problems with trusting the article content is truly verifiable. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   10:37, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you both very much, I appreciate it! I'll take care of your recommendations, Ritchie333. Back to the library with me. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 10:53, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: McDonald's Cycle Center
This is a note to let the main editors of McDonald's Cycle Center know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 19, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/July 19, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

McDonald's Cycle Center is an indoor bike station in Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago. The city built the center and opened it July 2004. Since June 2006, it has been sponsored by McDonald's and other partners, including city departments and bicycle advocacy organizations. The bike station, which serves bicycle commuters and utility cyclists, provides lockers, showers, a snack bar with outdoor summer seating, bike repair, bike rental and 300 bicycle parking spaces. The Cycle Center is accessible by membership and day pass. It also accommodates runners and in-line skaters, and provides space for a Chicago Police Department Bike Patrol Group. Planning for the Cycle Center was part of the larger "Bike 2010 Plan", in which the city aimed to make itself more accommodating to bicycle commuters. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley was an advocate of the plan. Suburban Chicago-based McDonald's sponsorship of the Cycle Center fit with their efforts to promote health. Environmentalists, urban planners and cycling enthusiasts around the world have expressed interest in the Cycle Center, and want to match its urban planning and transit-oriented development success story.

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
