Sports Teams[edit]

Is this suppose to have most of the professional, and semi-professional teams listed under it? If so, two more teams should be included which are the Chicago Bandits and Rockford Thunder (NPF), two of the only six teams in the National Pro Fastpitch. Thoughts?--Kranar drogin 04:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYKs[edit]

I have added an archives to the DYKs. We are going to have to try and find all the Illinois DYKs to put in the archives so we can reference that if needed. I am sure we can hit up Ivo for some, and whoever else is active with the DYK groups that are from Illinois.--Kranar drogin 22:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have set up a section at the WP:CHICOTW so you can find all of ours.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 00:40, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Tony, I was trying to figure out all the different DYKs that were in Illinois.--Kranar drogin 01:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do we get the DYKs to automatically archive from the page, or does that have to be done manually? I don't want to have so many DYKs on the main page, but they should be able to go to the archives section (which is where I thought I had put them to begin with). Maybe not.--Kranar drogin 16:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's done manually, at least for now. I've placed a comment on the DYK page to indicate how to make sure that we keep a consistent number of DYKs.Teemu08 18:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see what I did wrong now. Thanks for the help there.--Kranar drogin 21:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flag and Coat of Arms Hints[edit]

I suspect that you do not intend the coat of arms and the flag to have "Flag of the Commonwealth of Australia", etc appear as the mouse-over hints. Someone might want to correct this. I guess this is where the portal structure was sourced...:)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject[edit]

WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:33, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
