Hello! Your submission of Susie Cusack at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!

Well, glad to know somebody reads my articles :D You mean the ordering of the categories on the page? I find alphabetical more aesthetically pleasing, but have never bothered to actually sort them, almost certainly because I do a lot of my edits in section view. Does that clarify? - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 11:27, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tony, I noticed that you started adding conference templates to bowl game articles such as 2009 International Bowl and 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl. I don't think they should be included; they seem too tangential to the article subject and increase navbox clutter. I started a discussion at WT:CFB so we can reach consensus on what templates should be included in bowl game articles; I would appreciate your input. –Grondemar 04:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi - I previous asked you for your interest in serving as an online ambassador for my wikipedia students. I'm very frustrated, as I've been unable to make any progress figuring out exactly how to go about requesting help! Any further help / guidance you can offer would be appreciated.

It looks to me like the Sross individual you directed me to hasn't been on wikipedia for over a month? I'm giving this idea up...after too much frustration of contacting people on here. I know it's not your fault, so thanks for your help anyway. You were one of the few to even reply. Mjtagler (talk) 22:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
On 7 January 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Aaron Lockett (gridiron football), which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi Tony. I've got to apologise for my incorrect removal of commas from your article. It shows I have a lot to learn when contributing to the FAC process, and, touch wood, I won't make this mistake again (and definitely not in the bold manner I have done here). I'll strike the comments that I believe have been addressed and the ones you've given an explanation for. I know I seem a bit nitpicky, but I'm just trying to be thorough in my review. I'm close to support. Have you asked your co-nominators about the catalog numbers yet? Thanks Kitchen Roll (Exchange words) 22:29, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

G'day TonyTheTiger. I've removed PRODs/endorsementss of your's from a couple of school articles. Per WP:OUTCOMES#Schools, nonnotable primary/elementary schools aren't generally deleted, but, rather, merged into their respective localities and then redirected. If you'd like to do this boldly, then please feel free to go ahead. If someone objects, then the issue can be brough to WP:AFD.
Please be aware that there is a little bit of controversy in this general area at the moment caused by attempts at mass deletion. Please stay tuned. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 14:43, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

see WP:HLIST, explicit bullets have wp:accessibility issues. Navboxes are being converted to use "class=hlist", which adds the bullets using CSS, rather than explicitly. I believe there was even an article about in the Signpost. Frietjes (talk) 00:54, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tony. I have responded to you concerns at Talk:2011 Alabama Crimson Tide football team/GA1 and am not quite sure why it was quick-failed. Any additional thought would be nice as I will renominate this again in a couple of weeks. Thanks. Patriarca12 (talk) 13:32, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
But could you explain those quotation marks on Cross of Gold speech? I do just want an explanation because I have another speech article.
Happy to throw a GA your project's way. If when rummaging through a Chicago archive, you come across a defensible PD image connected to the article, remember me.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Tony. Kim Cloutier, an article which you originally created, was deleted after an AFD but then recreated by another user, at which point you marked it for speedy deletion per G4. I just wanted to drop you a note that I don't believe this qualifies for G4 and am contesting the speedy, per Talk:Kim Cloutier, because I believe the subject is notable and that the article should not be deleted. The G4 speedy deletion criteria is for deletion of articles that are substantially identical to the original article, whereas this article was rewritten from scratch by different editors and is considerably longer. Also, the original AFD decision was a bad close; a slim 5:4 majority is not a consensus, and the AFD should have been closed as "no consensus" rather than as "delete". Considering that you were the original creator of the article and that you voted to keep on that AFD, perhaps you could explain on Talk:Kim Cloutier why you thought the article was worthy of creation, or why you have changed your mind (if indeed you have changed your mind; I don't know if you G4ed the article for merely procedural reasons---because it was a previously AFDed article---or if you have actually changed your mind about the notability of the article). Thanks. —Lowellian (reply) 22:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Masterpiece (Madonna song) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Rcej (Robert) – talk 10:07, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Masterpiece cannot be eligible this year as the 2012 grammys only cover releases up to September 2011. Its also unclear what it means to be a 'release' for this category (In general Grammy nominations are based on albums released in the US) - I assume it means the song must be released on a soundtrack album?? Other than that, the only specific requirement for this category is that the song must be written specifically for the movie. I guess we'll have to wait until 2013 to find out.

hey Tony, hope your holidays were good and that things are going well for you. I stopped by to ask if you get downtown much. I just created an article for 19 South LaSalle Street that could use an image. I can get the image myself but I was hoping to nominate it for DYK and am not sure I will be heading downtown in time to get the photo for the DYK nom, I'll nominate it anyway but I thought an image would be nice, maybe get it into the lead space. Anyway, let me know. Thanks. IvoShandor (talk) 03:28, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I didn't forget to do a template for the credits -- see my note on the DYK talk page saying I didn't do it yet. There's a strange new arrangement for DYKmake templates covering multiple articles, and I'm not sure how to do it. Anyway, since the article title has a slash in it, we'll probably end up having to do your credits manually, since slashes break the templates... --Orlady (talk) 16:58, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Hey. I'm considering bringing this up at FAC. If I do, I was wondering if you would be able to provide a review; I'm pre-emptively asking people due to the current backlog there. I ask you since he played for the Chicago White Sox for most of his career, ergo is part of the Chicago project. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:57, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
I've left a brief reply. I haven't read the rest of the article, but based on what you've done, I think the first sections look like solid GA material. I'm afraid limited time and prior commitments mean I won't be able to review the rest of the article at the moment. None of the issues on which we may disagree in the review would be enough to stop me passing the article were I the GA reviewer, FWIW. --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
