[edit] WikiProject Aquarium Fishes

Hello there. You seem like someone who is seriously interested in saltwater aquarium. I just want to let you know that there's this WikiProject Aquarium Fishes. The project is quite young and we haven't had any expert in marine aquarium yet. So I hope you might be interested. Have a look at our project page. Thank you !!

[edit] The Aquarium Fishes Newsletter: January 2007

The Aquarium Fishes WikiProject Newsletter Issue II - January 2007
News Please welcome our new member: Pnphappy (talk • contribs) As discussed, the {{Fishkeeping-stub}} has been created and about 25 articles has been marked with this stub as you can see in Cat:Fishkeeping stubs. However, the stub was almost immediately proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. If you want to save our stub, here's what you can do: Let the stub-sorting people know you're supporting the stub and vote to keep the stub here. Find more fishkeeping-related stubs and mark them with {{Fishkeeping-stub}} (but please do not mark this stub to the fish species/genus/family articles as they are in the scope of fish-stub) Our current collaboration article is fishkeeping Articles recently created: x-ray tetra, rosy red minnow, Pelvicachromis taeniatus, Nannacara Articles recently expanded: labyrinth fish, List of freshwater aquarium fish species See or edit the current tasklist here	Discussions "Aquarium box" for fish articles. Several wikipedia in other languages have boxes for aquarium care information (temperature, pH, water hardness, size of fish, etc.). Should we apply that to ours too? See more info and discuss here. Should Bloodworms be merged into Midge (insect)? (discuss) Should Nano reef be deleted? (discuss and vote)

[edit] The Aquarium Fishes Newsletter: Febuary 2007

The Aquarium Fishes WikiProject Newsletter Issue III - February 2007
News Please welcome our new members: Mmoyer (talk • contribs), Niceguys (talk • contribs), and MidgleyDJ (talk • contribs) As Nano reef was proposed for deletion last month, the voting result was to keep. Tilapia has gone though a major restructuring. The original article is now split into Tilapia Tilapiine cichlid Genus Tilapia Genus Sarotherodon Genus Oreochromis Tilapia in aquaculture Tilapia as exotic species Articles recently created: Eye-spot rasbora, Diamond tetra, Rainbow cichlid Articles recently expanded or revised: Harlequin rasbora, Pacu, Algae eater, Gyrinocheilidae, Cypriniformes See or edit the current tasklist here	Discussions Should Managuense cichlid article be renamed as "Parachromis managuensis"? See discussion and vote here. Seems like there are some minor conflicts going on whether to include the Loaches Online website as references or external links. This has been added and deleted several times in some loach articles. See Burmese Border loach, Skunk loach, Botia striata, Dwarf loach Addition of Ivanacara as a new cichlid genus. See discussion here.

[edit] CHICOTW work

You have done some great work this week on the [[Chicago Board of Trade Building}]. I see you are fairly new to WP, but you have done good work on many Chicago related articles. Two past CHICOTW articles that are week on Chicago architecture details are Hull House and Merle Reskin Theatre. Hull House recently failed its WP:GA nomination in part due to weakness on architectural details. Merle Reskin will be nominate 8 days from today. If either of these is up you alley, feel free to help. We hope you stay with us in coming weeks. TonyTheTiger 14:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Do you know why the one reference in the reference section is not linked to any particular subject? I am refering to Kamin, Blair. "DECO RESURRECTION", Chicago Tribune, 2006-08-06. Retrieved on 2007-02-25. TonyTheTiger 18:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CHICOTW Policy Notice

In general, it is a good idea to refrain from editting articles while they are nominees for CHICOTW. That way everyone is voting on the same version of pages. Furthermore, if you save your edits until something is actually the CHICOTW we will look more productive as a group by making bigger improvements. TonyTheTiger 02:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Chicago Board of Trade Building, was selected for DYK!

On February 28, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Chicago Board of Trade Building, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

News Please welcome our new members: Antony1103 (talk • contribs), riftreef (talk • contribs), Roan Art (talk • contribs) Pufferfish has been retitled as Tetraodontidae. See discussion here.

[edit] New NRHP Collaboration Division

Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CHICOTW vote

Please reassess your CHICOTW vote. An article for the redlinked candidate you voted for has been found. It is likely you may perceive lending our assistance to this article less important compared to other possibilities given its good start already.

[edit] CPD

How did you add the Burnham Park page link for the citation. I have not been able to do so for any of the parks at Washington Park, Chicago. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 21:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I found Dinah Washington Park and Washington Square Park, Chicago pages using google. I still can't find Harold Washington Park. Do you know how to find this page?

[edit] Balbo Monument

I presume the monument still exists. I can get a picture during the summer, but it might be nice to have one before we go up for GAC in 5.5 weeks. In fact, a picture would probably entice me to submit this instead of the UN for DYK. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 18:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fishes

There is a new proposal on naming conventions for fish being discussed at WikiProject Fishes. As a member of a project whose naming conventions would be affected (WikiProject Aquarium Fishes), your feedback would be appreciated at the WikiProject Fishes talk page here.
