Project Barnstar
I have a basic design done for the project barnstar, but no ideas for a good name. Suggestions welcome ASAP! KV5 •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  01:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * How about "The Friendly Confines Barnstar"?-- LAA Fan  02:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * How about this:

You can add text to it just like any other barnstar with the template! It could be renamed as The Cubbies barnstar or The North Siders barnstar too. Wiki Zorro sign 12:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Any name is fine, but I actually went ahead and made a star graphic, like I did for WP:PHILLIES. I like the idea of having Wrigley on there, but let me go back and take a look at it. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  13:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's what I did :

 * Sweet! I couldn't find a free-cubs logo and LAA wanted it to have Wrigley field, but that ones Perfect! Wiki Zorro sign 15:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, you guys wanted me to decide, so the winner is User:Killervogel5]'s barnstar.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 15:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Took me a while to break that logo down from circles... Thanks for the appreciation, guys. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  16:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah and it took me 30 seconds! Great job KV5! Wiki Zorro sign 20:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Advertising
To insure more users will join the project, does anyone know how to make a Wikipedia Ad? I'll have a go at it, but my chances of success are slim.-- LAA Fan  14:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You have to make a .gif file using an external application Wiki Zorro sign 15:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay then. I don't know how to do that. I tried.

How
Do you you write a message in your barnstar, Killervogel? -- LAA Fan  15:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Same directions as above for the other. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  16:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to make one... Uugh! It looks black, but... ✅ I couldn't make it png, so the background is black!Wiki Zorro sign 20:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried with the template on the project page for making it, but I had no luck. Can you show me a prototype?-- LAA Fan  16:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant for the special Cubs barnstar. It doesn't work.-- LAA Fan  20:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Prototype Cubs barnstar


 * Does this look more cubs-like, or is it too jazzed up? Wiki Zorro sign 19:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * {| style="border: 3px solid ; background-color: ;"


 * rowspan="2" valign="middle" | [[Image:CubStar.png|100px]]
 * rowspan="2" |
 * style="font-size: x-large; padding: 0; vertical-align: middle; height: 1.1em;" | The Cubs Barnstar
 * style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 3px solid red;" |
 * }
 * How about this?
 * How about this?

Userbox
Could the userbox have a red outline (because the cubs are red & blue)? It would look like this:

Inviting more users
I am currently inviting users to join this WikiProject. I am asking users listed as Cubs fans. (Only 6 members, 2 to go.) If anyone else would help me with inviting, drop me a line on my talk page.-- LAA Fan  03:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * After looking at the page again, a member I invited joined the WikiProject!-- LAA Fan  03:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Banner and cleanup
B. Wolterding has a bot which will generate cleanup listings for projects, but the project needs a banner for this to work. So the question is, do we want to take on the task of cleaning up Cubs related pages? -- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  13:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we do. The wikiproject is getting inactive quick.-- LAA Fan  15:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

MiLB Daytona Cubs
Hi, I was wondering if the Minor League affiliate teams are considered part of this project? I live in Daytona Beach, Florida, and have some interest in expanding the Daytona Cubs article. Any advice would be appreciated. 07:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Margaret Donahue and Cubs HoF Template
I made a stub for Margaret Donahue - who was enshrined the year in the new Cubs hall of fame at Wrigley. I also built a template for the Cubs HoF and added it to the page of each and every member of same.

I didn't know what else to put in the Donahue stub, so I'll defer if anyone is still active in this Project. Regards, DaffydAtzinger (talk) 01:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
