As far as WJHS goes, would mentioning Tom Miller be worthwhile? I can't decide whether it's notable or not. Peaceman 02:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Who's Tom Miller? --flyhighplato 19:36, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- He was a WJHS teacher who recently was arrested for having child pornography on his computer. It made local headlines and was on TV a couple of times. Peaceman 07:14, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- Personally, I'd say that doesn't really relate to the history of Wilmette. But it depends on how you treat it, I guess. If you have some sort of section for newsworthy events in Wilmette, it could work. --flyhighplato 00:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- why wouldn't you include Tom Miller. He is an important part of Wilmette right now.

Would somebody check the fact that Wilmette was named for Antoine Wilmette? I think this is wrong and the village was named for his daughter, Antoinette Wilmette, who sold her family's property and moved west.
Could someone also please check that Archange Wilmette was the daughter of Chief Sauganash? Having lived half my life a block from the Old Treaty Elm and the other half in Wilmette, I have never heard this. That is very curious to me, and I wonder about the source? Two obvious places to check are by phone at the Chicago Historical Society and at the Wilmette Historical Society. Nkb 2 April 2006
- There is also "Wilmette: A History" by Bushnell, which should have some reference to both of the above. nufftin 3 April 2006
[edit] Blog list
It seems like the list of Wilmette blogs is becoming just a collection of bloggers, notable or otherwise, who happen to live in Wilmette. I can understand listing blogs that focus on local issues. I'm less impressed by the link between locally-based blogs that discuss international politics. Anyone mind if I trim this list back? Ronnotel 19:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Putting the blogs back. There are not a lot of daily issues in Wilmette because not much happens. Both blogs provide coverage of local issues when there are issues to be covered. There is simply not enough going on locally to have a blog only locally focused. Both give a view into viewpoints common to Wilmette. Both can be searched for local issue coverage which is unavailable elsewhere. Additonally, both blogs have comments, and questions about Wilmette can be asked directly to people who live in Wilmette. 75.57.194.234 08:23, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Antoin Rezko
I am going to delete this person because he has no significant value for Wikipedia. Does everyone agree because I will not do it if you disagree? He is pointless, in my opinion.DrSatan 23:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Then he's as good as done. Thanks for the speedy response, I get so many no responses from people... DrSatan 03:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I didn't realize that he was a real person, so I kept him; his only label is and should be restauranteur though, nothing else. DrSatan 03:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
