Well done. See if you can expand it and nominate it for WP:DYK. Good luck! Drmies (talk) 22:11, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you! At the moment I only have the German article to go on, plus my own observations from a visit (which would constitute original research). I hope others will expand the article soon - the building certainly merits more attention. Umbugbene (talk) 22:40, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Is this helpful, or this? I couldn't find a lot more, I'm afraid. Drmies (talk) 23:01, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Interwiki case presentation
I don't know if you are watching the help desk, but the response points me to Village pump (technical).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:18, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Aha, thank you. It will be interesting to see what happens but I'm glad they're leaning toward restoration of caps (or at least of consistency). I use those language links a lot. Great meeting you today, and thanks for organizing the Wiknic!
 * Would you consider being the point man on keeping List of tallest buildings in Chicago up to date? It needs some tender care.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:30, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'd be glad to. I'll make sure it's up-to-date soon, and I'll monitor it from then on.

File:20090524 Buildings along Chicago River line the south border of the Near North Side and Streeterville and the north border of Chicago Loop, Lakeshore East and Illinois Center.jpg is going to be the WP:POTD on July 12. Can you help me complete the labelling.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Some of the buildings I listed may not be prominent enough in the photo to merit inclusion, so maybe you can look it over and remove what isn't necessary. I also fixed up the Chicago tall buildings list last week, but I still have work to do there. Umbugbene (talk) 08:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Prentice Women's Hospital Building, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William F. Baker (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.

Chicago skyline image map
Thanks for creating the Chicago skyline image map for List of tallest buildings in Chicago. It's *really* cool. What image map editor did you use? And, can you provide a link to a "how to" page for using the editor? I see mw:Extension:ImageMap, is that what you used to figure this out? (If you reply here I will see what you say.) — Mudwater (Talk) 14:26, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You're very welcome! It wasn't terribly difficult once I figured out a few things I was doing wrong - mainly that it only works when you edit the *original file* at highest resolution (not a smaller version of it). I also kept trying to use both the image map code & the wide image template at the same time, which I never succeeded in doing, which is why the new image is smaller and doesn't scroll. But after all this I'm kind of glad not to have a scrolling panorama - it's just more work for the casual user. Finding a suitable image on Wikimedia Commons was sheer luck. I used the editor at . Basically it lets you draw a polygon and feeds you back the pixel coordinates in a string; other than that I just copied the code from the Atlanta page to get the right format.


 * I wonder if the disagreement would have been averted if I had put "from left to right" in the caption. Most people can recognize a few landmarks, so seeing everything listed in rough order should have been helpful. But if something better comes out of this then it's worth all the bickering. Thanks again for everything you've put into this! Umbugbene (talk) 14:58, 3 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, definitely worth all the bickering. Thanks again.  "P.S." I've added the Auditorium Building to the image map.  It's not one of the tallest buildings in Chicago any more, but since it has its own Wikipedia article I think it's fair game. — Mudwater (Talk) 15:57, 3 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, very good... thanks. I stopped when I got tired but wanted to add the Auditorium too. I still have to fix and update the first paragraph, but I want to get all the numbers exactly right. Just have to comb through the data... should happen soon. Umbugbene (talk) 12:49, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
