Indeed, our interests did intersect there. How about you Chicago folks keep sending your best roundball players to UK where the Big Blue Nation can enjoy them? That'll give the two of us some more common interests! Glad you found the review helpful. I'm just now getting into the reviewing side of things, and I worried it might be overkill for GA.

I haven't really decided what's going to dictate which reviews I focus on yet, but I am somewhat familiar with Juwan Howard and did take a look to decide if I wanted to review that article. To be honest, the sheer size of it intimidated me. I didn't want to start on it and not be able to finish, but the dude has unquestionably had a great career and deserves the kind of article you clearly appear to be building for him. Maybe I can gather my courage and at least take a shot at it. Nothing else at

WP:PR

has my interest piqued at the moment.

BTW, I got curious and read over some of your bio this morning. It's freaking awesome! Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 17:02, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Parker's is definitely a name I'm familiar with. The 2013 HS class is so loaded it's not even funny. Congrats on the potential four first rounders; the NBA folks who don't follow college ball will appreciate your introduction to whoever their team just drafted. Hoping more than a few Knicks fans checked out Josh Harrellson after I created that article. I'll bet Royce White was a fun one to do. After watching him in the tourney against the Cats, I can see that he is a beast of a player. There is at least one more recent Chicago-UK connection that I am aware of – DeAndre Liggins. His current article is just a stub, but a while back, I made an abortive attempt to flesh out an article on him using articles from Newsbank. If you'd ever like to collaborate and see what we can come up with for him, let me know. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 17:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Good point. I forgot about HighBeam in addition to Newsbank. Thanks for the head start. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 18:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I was on vacation last week, so I haven't seen a whole lot of stuff I usually would have. I did know that Parker was on the SI cover, but I have not gotten a chance to read the story yet. Once I beat back the stuff I'm behind on, I'll try to check it out. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 13:23, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I've always regarded citation style as somewhat a matter of preference. All of the GAs and FAs in the Governors of Kentucky good topic use the same style that I've used in the Harrellson article, and all passed their respective reviews without incident. In articles where the citations are heavy on web and newspaper sources, the style you've used for Davis may make more sense, but for articles where citations are mostly from books and include page numbers, restating the full bibliographic information within the footnote makes little sense. Granted, the Harrellson article falls more into the former category, but I've always regarded it as the editor's option. I don't think it should be used to derail a recognized content nomination either way, as long as the citation style is coherent. Kind of like choosing between APA and MLA.

Really? Fails

WP:V? Just because the short citation is used in the footnote and the longer one in the bibliography section? We could obviously disagree about convenience, and maybe even appropriateness in some cases, but to say that it flat out fails WP:V seems a stretch to me. Just because the reader has to take the extra step of matching the short citation to the long one in order to verify the content doesn't mean it isn't verifiable. It just means there is an extra step, just like verifying a fact in an offline source might require going to the library or verifying a fact in a foreign language source would require some translation. WP:V doesn't say it has to be as easy as possible to verify, just that it has to be verifiable. Now, because we are going to look at working together on the Liggins article, I'll probably change those over to your preferred style, but absent a reason like that, I wouldn't just go through changing them for the sake of changing them. Of course, until and unless it becomes an issue in a tangible case, we can just agree to disagree for now. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 13:27, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

OK, if it's just a matter of the page number and/or link, maybe we're closer to seeing eye-to-eye than I thought. When I first started pulling articles from Newsbank, I was not adding page numbers, but probably should have been. I'm trying to do that now. Problematically, some of the articles there don't provide page numbers, though. I don't think Highbeam gives page numbers at all. Since some articles may be available through multiple databases, I thought linking to the specific one I used could be frowned upon or regarded as advertising or promotion, even. It could also frustrate those who see the link and think it's a freebie. Maybe that isn't the case, though. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 13:50, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Great American Wiknic for Chicago in June

Hi Tony. I would like to invite you to again lead organizing the local Great American Wiknic this June (Wikipedia:Meetup/Chicago 6 was started as a placeholder by muzemike) :) Also, please confirm any preliminary details at Wikipedia:Wiknic#2012 Wiknic.--Pharos (talk) 18:16, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

No surprise, it passed as a GA. So, do you think it needs any work before we nominate it for FA? Is anything missing? Want to ask for a peer review first? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:24, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

PR is here. I forget if there's a one nom at a time limit at FAC as well (I've got a nomination up there), but I expect we can co-nominate this there sooner rather than later. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:49, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Artists Studio- Look Mickey

I had removed the speedy delete notice on your talk page because the new pages area said to wait a little bit before nominating a blank page for speedy deletion and I felt I had nominated it too early under that criterion. In my mind, a notice to something that I removed would be redundant. --Thebirdlover (talk) 22:01, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
