SkyscraperPage has been down for maintenance reasons since August 19, and may be down for a few more days - this happens about once every two years. However, since the website being down could jeopardize the FAC, you could reference of the tallest buildings in the United States by architectural height (or , which includes only Chicago buildings) from the ], which is widely regarded as one of the most reliable skyscraper resources. | |||
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em"> | |||

I'm not sure about the Ultrapolis Project ranking - from , it seems that the site uses a standard formula to achieve their rankings, although the site does state that "''he formula gives less weight for thin, ornamental spires and observation towers, and none for antennas''", which seems pretty subjective. Since the ranking seems to be based on subjective statistical data, I don't think it should be included. Is mentioning that Chicago has the tallest skyline necessary in the article? Most information about the "world's tallest skylines" seems to come from blogs. | |||

The template would also require modification. The suggestion made was to allow auto to take the class as an input rather than "yes" and (if you go ahead with importance), a new parameter and category should be created for those as well. Perhaps "autoimportance" would be the parameter, and if a user agreed all they would have to do is remove the "auto" part. | |||

My biggest concern is my lack of familiarity with the subject. Please take extra care to see not only any outright factual errors I may have inadvertently added, but more importantly, if the ''tone'' of the sections rings true. For example, does the stuff about controversies seem to make a bigger deal out of it than you remember? I have no way of knowing that, and am counting on you and your intimate knowledge to clean up any improper connotations I may have accidentally inserted.

Hi Tony. I have just noticed that Bill Garcia article that has been in Misplaced Pages for years has been deleted. I would like to ask for your help in reinstating that article. Bill Garcia is one of the first Hispanic radio broadcasters in Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Charlotte markets at a time when there was an extremely poor level of Hispanic broadcasters in the major market radio industry. He achieved top ratings in each major market and was viewed by many in the industry as a breakthrough talent. I noticed that was a discussion of lack of ratings information. Arbitron company which is the ratings source for every radio station in the country always showed Bill Garcia at the top of the ratings. I have included some published linked in Chicago Sun Times that indicate this. For the sake of letting future budding broadcasters get some history I request that you reinstate this article. | |||

Tony, I was doing a major cleanup of an article last winter, and ''really'' wanted to add an image. I found none in Wikimedia Commons, so I went to Flickr. There I found some wonderful pictures, none of which I could use, because of the copyright restrictions. They were ''almost'' perfectly free, but not quite. Anyway, looking at you pulling those pictures for Crown Fountain from Flickr, I'm wondering: Did the changes in our copyright policy earlier this year change what I can take from Flickr? I had a heck of a time understanding the old policy, where do I go to have the new policy explained to me? ]]] 02:51, 8 September 2009 (UTC) | |||

Hey, Tony, I'll be interested to know what you think about the new lead over at TR's page. Before you look, I have to tell you, you're likely to be disappointed. | |||

This was ''hard''. TR is, to put it simply, one of the greatest figures in modern world history. He did ''so much''. I think that Lincoln was clearly our greatest president, and Washington was arguably our greatest leader, but TR was one of the greatest ''men'' to have lived in the United States. So trimming the lead was '''extremely''' difficult. In fact, on my first attempt, I ended up making it ''longer''! I'm not kidding! You see, the lead ''was'' long, but it was also poorly done. What I did was first write a lead that was (unintentionally) longer, but ''better''. Then I had to trim it down. | |||

Hi Tony, I don't believe there's any current formal policy on this, so absolutely feel free to ignore this message.

You have almost 70 nominations currently active on the GAN page! I wonder if you could hold off on further nominations until the bulk of these have been reviewed, or at least until the end of the GA backlog drive on April 1st.

Some of those may need a bit of work, but for the most part I don't think they are in quickfail range. If so, I should be quickfailing some of the ones I am reviewing. Surely, 90% of the nominees that I have posted would be considered suitable nominees by most reviewers. Further, it is my understanding that the GANs continue to accrue date priority while hidden.

Unless, I can count on an October backlog drive, I don't think I should stop nominations. What if there is a September drive. I need to make sure things are nominated in time for a 180 day bonus to kick in with time remaining to review. I apologize for the problems I caused the backlog drive results.

*:My main issue is that these mass nominations may be unscrupulous, as seen in the articles I mentioned above. For me, the primary problem is not the backlog number or the fact that you didn't wait until April 1 to nominate the articles. The problem is that, of the articles you nominated, some of them seem to be nowhere near GA status (the CFPB article being one of the clearest examples of this).

**Pinging ] judges ], ], and repinging ]. Based on recent behavior, TonyTheTiger is not going to stop this flood of nominations unless told to do so, and far too many of the GA nominations so far have been of articles that are far from meeting the GA criteria, if they're being quickfailed. As PMC notes, that's not fair to regular editors who spend time to review them when they could be improving Misplaced Pages with that time. The ] are very clear: {{tq|Ensure that the article meets Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines as expected of any article, including neutral point of view, verifiability, no original research, and notability.

There is certainly an active effort to remove a lot of the nominations. I can see clearly that some are weak. Mostly those outside my stated areas of editorial expertise above.

Failing this a second time was clear lack of understanding of what proximity to WIAGA is.

You'rs focusing on how fast he can write things to send to GA rather than actually focusing on making good articles, and it's entirely against the spirit of the Wikicup, and for that matter, GAN.

:::While true, there are still things that can be added that would help with adding context and understanding where the player was at in their career. To use Heath Irwin as an example, did he have a draft projection? What were his contracts that he signed? Since he was a spot starter in his career, were those 29 games all in a couple seasons or was he a spot starter due to a guard's injury or ineffectiveness? Did he just play guard or did they throw him elsewhere on the line, which we know happens rather frequently with non-stars? Did any of his coaches have projections on him especially early on? It's little things like that that, to me, encapsulate the difference between a Good Article and an alright one (coincidentally enough a lot of that info is in Schofield, so maybe a qf on that one wasn't ideal). In fact, to answer my very own question above, since he started most games in 1999 then joined the Dolphins I imagine there has to be an article or two on that as to what happened there. ] 15:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC) | |||

Hi Tony. I have no personal passion around creating the missing women's players on ]. I don't mind if you do or don't create them, I'm just throwing it out there in case, as it seems you may have more passion around the Big Ten than me. ] (]) 18:18, 7 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
*], I think ] needs to start promoting improving all Female conference POY templates by creating redlinks. Mention this there.-] <small>(] / ] / ] / ] / ])</small> 18:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
**I hear ya, the women's game is under-represented. My personal opinion is that we should focus on knocking out all men's CPOYs before dividing already-limited resources. Creating good articles is a time consuming process, and we've been plugging away at the men's side since 2006. We're under 100 total red links remaining, which is incredible, but I'd still rather see the men's article be blue than the women's (for now). Once WP:CBBALL knocks out most of the redlinks from the CPOY and national award winner articles, I'll be personally more inclined to work on the women's. ] (]) 18:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
***], I enjoy the men's game more and thus enjoy researching the players more.

The file ] has been ] because of the following concern: | |||
<blockquote>'''Chorus heard in sample doesn't ] the whole song, which is already understood by either reading the whole article and/or listening the full recording. No indication that omitting the sample would harm such understanding. (Signify ≠ identify)'''</blockquote> | |||

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ]. | |||
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the ], but other ]es exist.

== Contesting vs not contesting past deletion proposals on your uploads == | |||
In the past, despite notifications about deletion proposals and nominations on certain file uploads, I've not yet seen you often contest/remove PROD tags from files you uploaded. (Search "proposed deletion" or "nominated for discussion" in your talk archives if you don't know what I mean.) What drove you into contesting a PROD this time? Why haven't you contested such proposals on other uploads in the way you did recently? ] (]) 16:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
*], I disagree with your explanation. The sample seems to represent the song very well, IMO. I am especially confused about the point about listening to the whole recording.-] <small>(] / ] / ] / ] / ])</small> 18:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
*:I get your point about one file. Why not other deleted samples that you uploaded? | |||
*:As for being {{tq|confused about point about listening to the whole recording}}, I was trying to say that listening to the sample would influence my curiosity about and decision to seek and then listen the whole song in the same way that the song title and band name would. But then to identify the song, I have to find info about it either from a DJ/emcee or elsewhere. | |||
*:Of course, in a shopping website, a song title and an artist or a band name would drive me into seeking and listening the available sample before listening the whole recording. Unsure whether the same can be said for an experience in an encyclopedic project like this. ] (]) 19:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
*::], Honestly, I don't pay attention to a lot of file deletions. I just happened to be paying attention to this one. I still don't understand your point. The sample provides much broader introduction than the title and band name.-] <small>(] / ] / ] / ] / ])</small> 19:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC) | |||

Hi TonyTheTiger! Would love to pick your brain on NBA vs WNBA edits. | |||
I had been working on adding citations and formatting the ] page in the style of other WNBA post-season award pages (see ] or ]).

Is there a consensus on NBA vs WNBA formatting and table formatting? Still learning my way through the WNBA wiki editing standards and would appreciate any thoughts and insight you have. Thanks!

Tony, you have Callow and Gayford marked as "Tertiary sources, with little or no reference to sources". Can you let me know your basis for this? If you are correct (I assume you are, just need to know the reasoning so it doesn't happen again), I suppose we should just remove them outright. At this point in the article's development, I'd like to get a copyeditor or two in, before we expand the latter portions of the page. Any suggestions; a lot of the c/e'rs I depended on have left, and as you know those pople are like gold dust. ] (]) 13:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Ok I assumed it was something that came up in the GAR, perhalps Modernist is aware of the reasoning. I can only go so far with a copy edit; you know how it is with article you are close to. Look forward to your help. The bits left to be expanded are widely covered by the sources, the work load is not as much as you might think. It would be brilliant to get this to FA, given the notability of the subject, and the difficulty about discussing him, it would be something we could be proud to hold up. ] (]) 13:38, 12 September 2009 (UTC) | |||
::Tony thanks; no worries and no rush with this. As you can imagine, if we take to FAC it will attract a ''lot'' of attention and likely be a long candidacy.

You have a lot of new fans
Hey Tony, I posted about your Misplaced Pages work on Twitter/X and a lot of people are saying nice things such as "wiki editors are truly one of the few things keeping my faith in humanity alive atm" and "Genuinely inspiring. Dude has it figured out. What a wonderful way to live". Thought you might want to know! Thanks for all you do here. Annierau (talk) 02:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- The appreciation is really cool. Sometimes, I run into some depressing obstacles in the wiki beauracracy. I do a lot of work and don't always get a positive spin with my efforts. This is a pleasant reminder that people use wikipedia and have fun learning about it. There are a lot of cool characters on WP. That has like 13k likes and 1k retweets. You have now surpassed Alexandra Daddario as the person who has gotten me the most engagements on social media. About 10 years ago she retweeted a picture of a bunny that I took because she liked bunnies on social (like some people like cat videos) back then. Last I looked I had like 150 or 200 followers. Now, I am at over 600. Wow. I need you on my PR team. Thank you so much.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:Annierau, I am just realizing that your X post has had 409.5K views. Amazing. That is by a mile the most I have ever had.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- So glad you appreciate it! I've always found it unfortunate that Misplaced Pages editors rarely get feedback from the typical readers — people who generally have very nice things to say (unlike the vocal minority of people that fine a way to complain about, well, everything)! I know that people don't edit Misplaced Pages for fame or glory, but a little bit of encouragement goes a long way :-) Annierau (talk) 00:07, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:Annierau, I was hoping you might be able to do the same thing for me on Instagram, but as I look at https://www.instagram.com/depthsofwikipedia/, I see that you focus on actual wikipedia entries there. Well, I will have to figure out how to get some follower growth over there on my own, unless you have some advice.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Your WikiCup submission: Template:Did you know nominations/Campbell's Soup Cans
Hi TonyTheTiger, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. Unfortunately, Template:Did you know nominations/Campbell's Soup Cans is not eligible for DYK points because it was nominated to DYK as a newly promoted GA. I know this can be disappointing, but Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Scoring#Did you know? states that only newly created or expanded DYKs are eligible for DYK points. The rules specifically exclude DYK submissions from receiving points if their appearance on DYK is solely because the article was a newly promoted GA. Epicgenius (talk) 16:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- User:Epicgenius Wow. That severely impacts my CUP strategy and greatly demotivates me from improving a bunch of Princeton and Michigan basketball season articles. I doubt I will be 5x any of them. But, hey, thems the rules.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:28, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

GA nominations
Hi Tony, I don't believe there's any current formal policy on this, so absolutely feel free to ignore this message. However, as one of the GA backlog drive coordinators, I noticed our numbers were heading backwards this week, and wondered why - and then I saw your recent nominations. You have almost 70 nominations currently active on the GAN page! I wonder if you could hold off on further nominations until the bulk of these have been reviewed, or at least until the end of the GA backlog drive on April 1st. This is just a personal request, not related to any rule or policy - but hope you will consider it. Thanks for your many GA reviews and articles over the years. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:Ganesha811, I am participating in WP:CUP, I have a pretty low success rate at FAC, so I need to wind up dozens of GAs in the queue to have date priority position so that in the rounds where I need a lot of points, I can get lots of GA points. I am willing to stop nominating new articles until April 1 if you can promise that there will be another backlog drive in October.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:20, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- I can't promise that, especially since it isn't up to just me. However, I certainly support another GA backlog drive pretty soon after this one, since we have made only moderate progress so far this month. —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Tony, I noticed the same thing as Ganesha did above. Speaking as a regular editor, rather than as a WikiCup judge, I have to say that, unfortunately, some of your most recent GANs have issues that may make them liable to a fail or even a quickfail. Here's a sampling of what I'm talking about:
- Steven Hoggett - this article has four sections, one of which (Personal life) is a single sentence that is completely unsourced (and is tagged with {{cn}}). The Early Life section is just three sentences, and most of the article is about his career. A reviewer might point out that the article fails GA criteria 3a (broadness) and 2b (sourcing).
- Pilot and Chapter Two - the production section is just one sentence long, and it lacks any info about background or themes (for comparison, have a look at articles like Faces (Star Trek: Voyager) or Gender Bender (The X-Files)). A reviewer might point out that the article fails GA criterion 3a.
- A Christmas Story: The Musical - the article lacks citations in several places, and it also lacks info about reception - there are just two reviews, whereas for a Broadway musical you can usually find 4-5 good reviews just about the Broadway run (and, potentially, other reviews about the runs in each of the other cities). A reviewer might point out that the article fails GA criteria 3a and 2b.
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - I just removed your GA nomination for this article because it has at least three maintenance tags and multiple pieces of unsourced information (failing GA criterion 2b). In addition, the history section seems heavily weighted in favor of the agency's first four years, failing criterion 4. There is a standalone controversies section with four very detailed sections about past controversies, but controversy sections are best avoided per WP:CSECTION.
- As a WikiCup judge, I should mention that
I need to wind up dozens of GAs in the queue to have date priority position so that in the rounds where I need a lot of points, I can get lots of GA points.
could be considered gaming the system. If you are submitting subpar GANs so you can gain more points in future rounds, then these articles are liable to be ineligible for points (per Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Scoring#General rules: "All reviewed content must have been worked on significantly by you to receive points. ... If this is abused, the judges reserve the right to not award points."). There is no time limit on GANs. The probability of them being reviewed does not increase substantially when you nominate dozens of articles at once, because if you have more than 20 GANs, the additional GANs will be hidden from potential reviewers.This is surprising given your track record of successful GA nominations. I highly encourage you to take a look at the GACR criteria again, then go through all of the articles you just nominated and see if any of these articles still need work to meet the GA criteria. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:30, 20 March 2024 (UTC)- User:Epicgenius, I do not intend to abuse the system. I am actually working through a list of several hundred DYKs that I have had since I last entered the CUP in 2010. I am trying to figure out which are within striking distance of GA. I have a spreadsheet with two lists. I am only nominating those on the good list. Some of those may need a bit of work, but for the most part I don't think they are in quickfail range. If so, I should be quickfailing some of the ones I am reviewing. Surely, 90% of the nominees that I have posted would be considered suitable nominees by most reviewers. Further, it is my understanding that the GANs continue to accrue date priority while hidden. As the visible ones get reviewed, I believe the newly revealed one will be in better position to attract reviewers.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining your thought process. If you are nominating old articles for GA, however, I'd suggest looking through them carefully to make sure they don't have obvious issues (like breadth of coverage or maintenance tags). This would help weed out some of the articles with more serious issues, especially as you haven't edited some of them in years; for example, the CFPB page has undergone quite a few changes since you last modified it. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Ganesha811, Epicgenius, and BlueMoonset:, Thanks for checking in. I will try to be more careful with my remaining strategic nominations. Unless, I can count on an October backlog drive, I don't think I should stop nominations. What if there is a September drive. I need to make sure things are nominated in time for a 180 day bonus to kick in with time remaining to review. I apologize for the problems I caused the backlog drive results. I would be willing to allow your to remove all the
{{GA nominee}}
templates of all hidden nominations until April 1 if that would make the backlog look good. They would have to be restored with the current date priority info on April 1 though.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC)- My main issue is that these mass nominations may be unscrupulous, as seen in the articles I mentioned above. For me, the primary problem is not the backlog number or the fact that you didn't wait until April 1 to nominate the articles. The problem is that, of the articles you nominated, some of them seem to be nowhere near GA status (the CFPB article being one of the clearest examples of this). It's better to ensure that your articles are up to GA standards the first time around, rather than nominating a slate of articles at once and seeing what sticks. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- I second this. I've skimmed through all of your nominations, and for what it's worth, I believe that 22 (a third of them) have major issues which could result in a fail or even a QF. I don't doubt that these could get to GA with a good push, but I feel that this many of this quality is too much. I suggest denominating the articles that seem further off from the GAC; it would save you and your reviewers' time! Averageuntitleduser (talk) 15:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Most of my GAs are sports, visual arts or Chicago related stuff, so my calibration may be off in other fields, but that number seems a little high.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but I'd at least leave it at "major issues". I could give a quick rundown if you'd like, but I hope you understand our sentiment.

- My personal suggestion would be to take it slowly. Like you, Tony, I have a backlog of about 150 GA-ready pages, but I never have substantially more than 20 nominations at any one time, and I try to have a selection of nominations that is a representative slice of everything I do. It makes a big difference. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:02, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

What entitles you to make these demands? Who do you think you are, Jimbo Wales? – Teratix ₵ 16:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- i can see you've nominated 6 more articles for GA today, including Mekia Cox, which (from what i can tell) you haven't edited since 2017 and which cites IMDb, and The Firm (2012 TV series), which you haven't edited since 2016 and which cites not only IMDb but also facebook. please slow down with the nominations, and do your due diligence in working on the articles you nominate. thanks, sawyer * he/they * talk 21:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Tony, it is absolutely an abuse of other editors time and energy to mass-nominate a bunch of articles – many of which are old and have existing issues – just so you can get points in a game. And saying you will refrain from nominating more, but only if Ganesha can promise you there will be another backlog drive for you to exploit in October? The level of entitlement to other peoples' time and effort you're exhibiting here is fucking staggering. An editor with your level of tenure and experience ought to know better. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:37, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging WP:WIKICUP judges Cwmhiraeth, Frostly, and repinging Epicgenius. Based on recent behavior, TonyTheTiger is not going to stop this flood of nominations unless told to do so, and far too many of the GA nominations so far have been of articles that are far from meeting the GA criteria, if they're being quickfailed. As PMC notes, that's not fair to regular editors who spend time to review them when they could be improving Misplaced Pages with that time. The nominating instructions are very clear:
Ensure that the article meets Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines as expected of any article, including neutral point of view, verifiability, no original research, and notability. Then check the article against the good article criteria and make any improvements that you think are necessary.
This should be done for every single article prior to nomination, and if it had been, many of these nominations would not have been made, or would have been delayed while the articles were improved to meet the criteria. Also, even though he'sworking through a list of several hundred DYKs that I have had since I last entered the CUP in 2010
, just because it was once a DYK doesn't mean that he's a significant contributor to the article—as witness Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella (Beane musical), which he originally nominated at DYK but did not create and only made a dozen minor edits—and should not be nominating those articles at GAN given the recent changes to GAN rules. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)- i've just quickfailed Mekia Cox, which not only cites IMDb, but also a forum post from 2010. this is completely disruptive and taking up reviewers' time when we could be reviewing articles that had the absolute bare minimum amount of attention paid to them before nomination, or working on our own projects. i'm frustrated, to say the least. sawyer * he/they * talk 00:48, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping @BlueMoonset. I mentioned a sampling of the issues above, and I recommended that Tony go through all of these nominations to see if they actually meet the standards. Judging by the fact that some of these nominations have just been quickfailed, I'm not confident that this has been done.
- Tony, I strongly encourage you to go back and double check all of your remaining nominations to see if they meet the GA criteria. From the looks of it, you are nominating articles that you haven't edited in years, so it's hard to determine whether you can vouch for the quality of these articles. I suggest you double check these nominations as soon as you can. Epicgenius (talk) 01:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I just quickfailed three sports submissions, and I think a half dozen more probably qualify in that section as well. To echo Premeditated Chaos, Tony, I'll be blunt: making dozens of spurious GA nominations at once – saddling down the system just to game the WikiCup – is a cut-and-dry case of disruptive editing (not to wildly inconsiderate to everyone else in the GA process), and continuing to engage in it will result in a block. It is absolutely disruptive to make a small number of relatively minor additions to an article and renominate it after it was quickfailed, without even coming close to addressing all of the concerns, as you did at Michael Schofield (American football). Epicgenius is right: you need to go through your nominations and withdraw everything but the ones that are actually reasonably close to good-article status, and then we can talk about whether we still need to space them out. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

- I apologize that I have not participated in this discussion in a while but I was noticing the reviews below and not noticing up here. There is certainly an active effort to remove a lot of the nominations. I can see clearly that some are weak. Mostly those outside my stated areas of editorial expertise above. However, there is also a lot of exaggerating going on regarding what is far from WP:WIAGA. E.g., compare Michael Schofield (American football) to the most recent WP:GA sports and recreation promotion other than my articles Jerry Atkinson (American football). The current version of Schofield not remotely in quickfail territory. Overzealous posse of editors is simply over reacting. This is WP:GAN is not WP:FAC and there seems to be a largescale effort to require me to attain a closer than normal proximity to WIAGA all of a sudden. Most experts can talk me into submission on some of the media topics, but I am quite expert on sports GACs and I know Schofields article is better than most offensive linemen on WP. Failing this a second time was clear lack of understanding of what proximity to WIAGA is. Calm down and stop quickfailing stuff for no reason, There is no requirement that 100% of a persons nomination need to be promoted. If you fail a 20-25% of my articles that does not make me a problem editor.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:48, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- You're an experienced editor, you know how talk pages work. It makes no sense that you wouldn't have been checking this section for responses, given that it was an active discussion about your behavior. I frankly don't believe that you somehow didn't see them.
- That aside, this response is utterly tone-deaf and fails to actually address the breadth of issues people have brought up with these nominations. If a dozen people are pointing out problems with your behavior and your nominations, it might just be that there is a problem! That you have the audacity to say things like
Calm down and stop quickfailing stuff for no reason...If you fail a 20-25% of my articles that does not make me a problem editor.
is just incredible to me. Not a single one of those quickfails was for no reason. And it does make you a problem editor if you nominate 70+ articles en masse solely because you want WikiCup points on a schedule that suits you. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:14, 23 March 2024 (UTC)- It seems Tony had had this problem of thinking WP is there for his benefit for a long time. Back in 2011, Tony was topic-banned from the featured sounds and from "uploading images about himself". The reason for the first of these TBANs was, and I quote, for:
- TonyTheTiger nominates anything that he thinks will have a remote change of passing, ignoring negative responses, fighting back his nominations are closed as unsuccessful, and generally clogging FS with items that don't deserve to be featured. Until TTT is made to understand that he cannot ignore what other people are saying, and that Featured Sounds exists for more than just to fill the trophy wall that is his userpage, I believe that he is harmful to the process.
- What goes around comes around, eh? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- There's also the following, from the same discussion:
- he seems unable to understand the ways in which he disrupts and abuses of processes and other editors' time in his goal of promoting himself. Last year, he disrupted DYK in his attempt to win WikiCup, there was an issue at TFA/R, and FAC instituted a special rule to limit repeat noms because of his repeatedly using FAC as Peer review for ill-prepared articles, and bringing back ill-prepared noms the minute the previous one was archived.
- It's sad to see that such an experienced old hand can't move on from the disruptive habits that got him into trouble in the past. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:18, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

- As someone who is a neutral party (not in the wikicup this year), and who has done his share of sports nominations and reviews in the past, I 100% agree on the quick fails just from eyeballing a handful of them (Irwin, Demens, and Hudson are nowhere close to GA). You'rs focusing on how fast he can write things to send to GA rather than actually focusing on making good articles, and it's entirely against the spirit of the Wikicup, and for that matter, GAN. I've reviewed legitimately good articles from you in the past (Cato June comes to mind), so you can make proper good articles, you would just rather apparently do the minimum to get the badge/points/whatever, and that's a significant problem.

- User:Wizardman, I am sure you are aware that if an Offensive lineman is not a Pro Bowl caliber player, they don't get much press. Neither Heath Irwin nor Michael Schofield (American football) has any significant content missing. The fact that the articles are not expansive does not mean that they do not cover the topic with adequate breadth. I have not looked closely at some of the others, but neither of those two is missing anything that is very encyclopedic, IMO.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:57, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- While true, there are still things that can be added that would help with adding context and understanding where the player was at in their career. To use Heath Irwin as an example, did he have a draft projection? What were his contracts that he signed? Since he was a spot starter in his career, were those 29 games all in a couple seasons or was he a spot starter due to a guard's injury or ineffectiveness? Did he just play guard or did they throw him elsewhere on the line, which we know happens rather frequently with non-stars? Did any of his coaches have projections on him especially early on? It's little things like that that, to me, encapsulate the difference between a Good Article and an alright one (coincidentally enough a lot of that info is in Schofield, so maybe a qf on that one wasn't ideal). In fact, to answer my very own question above, since he started most games in 1999 then joined the Dolphins I imagine there has to be an article or two on that as to what happened there. Wizardman 15:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:Wizardman and regarding Demens and Hudson, they may have been predominately special teams (non-returner non-placekicker) contributors, so they may be at about the same level of press exposure as linemen, if not lower.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:49, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

- I'll say that I'm not quite sure I agree with some of the quickfails (Michael Schofield doesn't look that bad IMO) – but Tony, you really should be cautious about what articles you're nominating and make sure they're of very high quality, especially if they're things you haven't edited in years. Just my two cents. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Administrative action is appropriate at this point, since this apparently won't stop otherwise. In addition to frivolous re-nominations that have continued after all of the above warnings, we have these:
- Complained about the quickfails at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup#Open season on qfing me, saying
There is an overzealous posse of editors quickfailing my articles.
- Left a harassing message for a reviewer at User talk:Teratix#Heath Irwin review, saying
I assume you are lieing to pick a fight. Is that your intention.
- Attacked the reviewer at Talk:Michael Schofield (American football)/GA2, saying
many of the fails are pure vindictive frustration by a posse of GA reviewers looking hard for stuff to quibble with
andYou are bending over backwards to fail this article. No one who knows football would consider this far from a GA. Maybe stay in your lane in a field you know.
Of course, one of the main benefits of GA is that it allows for occasional feedback from someone not involved in the topic area. - Participated in the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/March 2024#Reason for "backward" progress, responding to claims of not being a significant contributor with
Bold-faced lie. Every one of my GAN submissions is from my own WP:DYK submissions. PLease point out an article that I don't have any edits on?
because there were significant contributions, they were just from many years ago (sometimes over a decade).

- you clearly did not address all of the failing concerns, though.

Drive-by GA nomination of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella (Beane musical)
Hi! I noticed that you nominated the article Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella (Beane musical) for Good article status. You do not appear to have made significant edits to the article prior to this, and there is no discussion about nominating the article on its talk page. Current practice is that only editors who have significantly contributed to the article are able to nominate it (see the nomination instructions). I have consequently removed the nomination for now. Consider discussing whether the article is ready to be nominated with the article's principal editors on the talk page. Ssilvers has contributed more than half of the article and And1987 has contributed about a quarter of it, but I see you have only contributed to 4% of the article and all of your edits were made over a decade ago! Please talk to them about this before reopening the nomination. -- Grnrchst (talk) 13:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 22:36, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- If I were you, I would withdraw every GA nomination made in the past 10 days as a sign of good faith and withdraw from the WikiCup, possibly on an indefinite basis. That would at least show that you understand that consensus is unanimously against your actions. Otherwise, I don't know in what direction the ANI thread will go. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Tony, you're in a bad position here, a really deep hole. I'd follow the recommendation given by AirshipJungleman29 above, if I were you. I've read Talk:Heath Irwin/GA1, and frankly I agree with it. starship.paint (RUN) 13:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

The WikiCup
Tony, I'm letting you know that I have withdrawn you from the WikiCup. Several users have complained about your conduct both at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup#Open season on qfing me and at ANI, and a complete WikiCup topic ban is currently being discussed at ANI. Unfortunately, this means it is no longer feasible for you to continue competing in the Cup this year. I have left your name on the WikiCup newsletter list for now, but if the topic ban is enacted, please note that I will have to remove your name from the list of subscribers as well. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Incidents statement
Thanks for the well thought-out statement. I'm glad because when you said you'd put up a statement in six hours I thought that maybe "they" had pushed you to the point of retirement, and thank Zeus that this wasn't the case. I enjoyed your comments about competition and its place on Misplaced Pages, and am sure that you are the only editor who has the spirit of competition in the Cup and glad that that's no longer a factor by anyone involved in the contest /s. In summary, I'm glad that this kind of thing rolls off your back like edits off a duck. And since I don't come by often, thanks for all the things you've done, especially for your work on Misplaced Pages's Chicago collection (probably the best existing collection on the subject). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:Randy Kryn, Thanks for dropping by with kind thoughts. Your 16:08, 8 September 2018 tiger submission above is a memorable one.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Kind thoughts not enough (cakes and cookies and dance music might be a good beginning for all you've done here). Coming to the North American Misplaced Pages Conference in October? And thanks for the reminder, so I've added the painting to the Tiger page (edit: since reverted). Randy Kryn (talk) 14:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Just my way of saying that I don't like pile ons, which occur too often at the incidents board. Even long after the person that the editors are concerned about admits their errors and takes steps to correct them. It's not like what you were doing was a yearly occurrence. Then you principally wrote a classic, to coin a term, in a long post discussing your thought process as it related to each step of your editing. It will be interesting to see what logic is applied for your punishment after all of that. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Four Freedoms navbox
Tony, saw your Rockwell Four Freedoms box at Misplaced Pages:Featured topics/Four Freedoms, and thought that it might be expanded to encompass the entire topic, Four Freedoms. Can envision what a powerful navbox it could be. What do you think? I was surprised the full topic didn't already have a navbox, seems a natural. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:Randy Kryn, I believe that would be a different topic.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:36, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not really, as the painting series would be included under an art section, and the navbox would also have the speech and all the trimmings (per category:Four Freedoms) and even be included on FDR's page. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- I just learned that Roosevelt himself commissioned a monument to the Four Freedoms. Never knew that, he was seriously into the concept. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- That FDR commissioned it may be inaccurate per the sources. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- You can request clarification on the delineation of the domain of a topic. Sometimes one topic is a subtopic of another topic as I understand it. I think Misplaced Pages talk:Featured and good topic candidates is where such issues are discussed nowadays.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- If Roosevelt commissioning the statue is incorrect we shouldn't have it on the page. I just added the funding organization per the links. I'm just talking about a navbox, not a reclassification of the topic. I'll work one up later to see what it looks like. Anyway, if a good navbox comes together am glad some attention was moved onto your overall work. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:Randy Kryn, what are you saying you added? where?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Most of your GAs have met the bar, you've done hundreds of reviews, and that recent review of the synchronistic 3:16 game was in-depth for a niche topic.

Chicago Tribune Silver Basketball – missing player articles
Hi Tony. I have no personal passion around creating the missing women's players on Chicago Tribune Silver Basketball. I don't mind if you do or don't create them, I'm just throwing it out there in case, as it seems you may have more passion around the Big Ten than me. SportsGuy789 (talk) 18:18, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:SportsGuy789, I think WP:CBBALL needs to start promoting improving all Female conference POY templates by creating redlinks. Mention this there.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- I hear ya, the women's game is under-represented. My personal opinion is that we should focus on knocking out all men's CPOYs before dividing already-limited resources. Creating good articles is a time consuming process, and we've been plugging away at the men's side since 2006. We're under 100 total red links remaining, which is incredible, but I'd still rather see the men's article be blue than the women's (for now). Once WP:CBBALL knocks out most of the redlinks from the CPOY and national award winner articles, I'll be personally more inclined to work on the women's. SportsGuy789 (talk) 18:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:SportsGuy789, I enjoy the men's game more and thus enjoy researching the players more. However, since I like to research U of Michigan, Chicago Area, Western New York, Princeton University athletes, I would rather handle a female of one of those than an Ohio State Chicago Tribune Silver Basketball winner. The Joanne McCarthy (basketball) article that is currently on the main page was a fun Chicago article for me to research. More fun than almost any remaining male POY for me.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Not Ready To Make Nice sample.ogg
The file File:Not Ready To Make Nice sample.ogg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Chorus heard in sample doesn't contextually signify the whole song, which is already understood by either reading the whole article and/or listening the full recording. No indication that omitting the sample would harm such understanding. (Signify ≠ identify)
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. George Ho (talk) 08:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Contesting vs not contesting past deletion proposals on your uploads
In the past, despite notifications about deletion proposals and nominations on certain file uploads, I've not yet seen you often contest/remove PROD tags from files you uploaded. (Search "proposed deletion" or "nominated for discussion" in your talk archives if you don't know what I mean.) What drove you into contesting a PROD this time? Why haven't you contested such proposals on other uploads in the way you did recently? George Ho (talk) 16:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:George Ho, I disagree with your explanation. The sample seems to represent the song very well, IMO. I am especially confused about the point about listening to the whole recording.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- I get your point about one file. Why not other deleted samples that you uploaded?
- As for being
confused about point about listening to the whole recording
, I was trying to say that listening to the sample would influence my curiosity about and decision to seek and then listen the whole song in the same way that the song title and band name would. But then to identify the song, I have to find info about it either from a DJ/emcee or elsewhere. - Of course, in a shopping website, a song title and an artist or a band name would drive me into seeking and listening the available sample before listening the whole recording. Unsure whether the same can be said for an experience in an encyclopedic project like this. George Ho (talk) 19:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:George Ho, Honestly, I don't pay attention to a lot of file deletions. I just happened to be paying attention to this one. I still don't understand your point. The sample provides much broader introduction than the title and band name.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Promotion of List of Football Academic All-America Team Members of the Year
Congratulations, TonyTheTiger! The list you nominated, List of Football Academic All-America Team Members of the Year, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Misplaced Pages. The nomination discussion has been archived.This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, PresN (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:25, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Think this would quickly pass FL review?
Tony, you're prolific in the featured article / list space. I immensely overhauled NABC Coach of the Year in April. From a cursory review, do you think there'd be much pushback on getting this as FL-class? SportsGuy789 (talk) 21:10, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Your list looks excellent. It has quite a different format than my recently passed List of Football Academic All-America Team Members of the Year. I actually like the way your Divisions are split into separate tables. That differs greatly from the All-America list like my current nominee List of Women's Basketball Academic All-America Team Members of the Year. Did you notice the color from my recent promotion. Many sports team and player articles include team color and I was able to include that at FL in this list. I think your list has a good shot.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Cool thanks for the feedback. I'm going to abstain from adding colors, as I personally feel it confuses things and adds an element unnecessary to the point of the NABC list, but that's just a stylistic difference of opinion. I'll submit this to FL review to see what others say. I'm doubting there'd be much I have to edit or add, if anything. SportsGuy789 (talk) 18:22, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

NBA vs WNBA edits?
Hi TonyTheTiger! Would love to pick your brain on NBA vs WNBA edits.
I had been working on adding citations and formatting the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award page in the style of other WNBA post-season award pages (see WNBA Most Improved Player Award or WNBA Most Improved Player Award). However, given the increasing interest in the WNBA, there now seems to some crossover in WNBA and NBA edits and editors. So, now the WNBA ROTY award page has been thoroughly re-formatted more in the style of the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and all citations I had been adding to article removed.
Is there a consensus on NBA vs WNBA formatting and table formatting? Still learning my way through the WNBA wiki editing standards and would appreciate any thoughts and insight you have. Thanks! (full transparency: I've also asked @Sportzeditz for their input on this same topic cause I'm very curious!) Mariacricket (talk) 01:21, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
