Roses in Portland
I'm going to be reviewing Roses in Portland over at Talk:Roses in Portland/GA2 and I was wondering if you could very briefly summarize you closing rationale so that I can be sure it is addressed. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 11:36, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Getting Around New York Times Archives
Hello! I remember there was a way to get unlimited New York Times archive access for free, but forget how to do it. I think you showed it to me, but maybe I'm full of it. Anyway, do you know the secret to the archives (1920s-1980s)? ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 02:48, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Main page appearance: South Side, Chicago
This is a note to let the main editors of South Side, Chicago know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on August 11, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 11, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
The South Side is a major part of the City of Chicago. Regions of the city, referred to as sides, are divided by the Chicago River and its branches. The South Side of Chicago was originally defined as all of the city south of the main branch of the Chicago River, but it now excludes the Loop. The South Side has a varied ethnic composition, and it has great disparity in income and other demographic measures. The South Side covers 60% of the city's land area, with a higher ratio of single-family homes and larger sections zoned for industry than the rest of the city. Neighborhoods such as Armour Square, Back of the Yards, Bridgeport, and Pullman tend to be composed of more blue collar residents, while Hyde Park, the Jackson Park Highlands District, Kenwood, and Beverly tend to have middle, upper-middle class, and affluent residents. The South Side boasts a broad array of cultural and social offerings, such as professional sports teams, landmark buildings, nationally renowned museums, elite educational institutions, world class medical institutions, and major parts of the city's elaborate parks system. (more...)

Picture needed
Hi Tony, if you are in the neighborhood could you take and upload a picture of Kenwood Academy? It seems the picture we've been using is a copyvio. I'd do it myself but I'm out of town. Speciate (talk) 05:15, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Kenwood Academy sculpture.JPG)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Tom Brady - GA
First off, thank you for taking a look, even just a cursory look, at Tom Brady. This is the first Article I've ever submitted for assessment, so I'm sorry if I need a little more hand-holding than your average GA Nominator. Y'know, there are just some subjective criteria (Broad, Neutral, Stable) that I really have no earthly idea how GA Reviewers view those words and what they expect. Tom Brady was delisted in this Reassessment, and all I did was go through and add citations and make some MOS revisions and fix what had caused it to be failed in the first place. Now, that Reassessment was over 3 years old when I started fixing things. I know you're very experienced in this sort of work, so I'm hoping to glean as much out of this as possible...so that my next GA Nomination perhaps goes a little smoother. Again, very much thank you and I hope to hear from you going forward. Achowat (talk) 13:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tony.
