Hello, welcome to my talk page! If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~. I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. So if you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page–my talk page–as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere. (I will break this rule sometime, if I want to get your attention quickly) I am busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries. If I have reviewed an FLC for you, I have watchlisted the page, and will return within a reasonable time to Support, Oppose, or otherwise address your nomination. Reminders are unnecessary. Thanks.

Bulls FLC

Hey Chris, just a quick note to say hi and that I'm no longer involved in the FLC process so I'd recommend you leave a msg with User:Scorpion0422 or User:Matthewedwards who will happily (I'm sure) sort you out. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, many of the problems are difficult for me to put into words. I'll try to copyedit the lead myself, and if you have any questions, let me know. Some of the phrasing seems overcomplicated, and sentences could flow better. Also, a few statements are factually iffy. Zagalejo^^^ 01:54, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks —Chris! _ct 02:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I've done some work on it. I think I'm done for tonight, but I'm not sure if I'm totally satisfied just yet. I'll have to step away from it for a while. Zagalejo^^^ 04:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I should be satisified with it by the end of the week. I want to experiment with a few things to see if I can further improve the lead. Zagalejo^^^ 19:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again.—Chris! _ct 19:10, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm mostly satisfied with the prose, although some things need new references. I can add the refs sometime within the next couple of days, unless you want to take a stab at it. (Everything is easily verifiable, I think.)

I do have one question: in the "finish" column - is that the team's divisional finish? If so, should we make that clearer? Zagalejo^^^ 05:55, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Wait, I see it's already explained in the key. Never mind. Zagalejo^^^ 05:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, another question: GB is games behind the division leader, right? Zagalejo^^^ 06:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

That's right —Chris! _ct 16:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, I guess I'm satisfied with it. You're free to look it over, of course. Zagalejo^^^ 04:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:NBA Year

Why did you change the format without discussion? Besides, it works both ways, so that was kind of a waste of time. -- K. Annoyomous24 06:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes it works both way, but my change include the endash, so you don't have to type that every time. It is actual a good thing.—Chris! _ct 06:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Whatever then. Just next time, tell me and WP:NBA first. -- K. Annoyomous24 06:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

A new FL contest

Misplaced Pages's epic FL directors Matthewedwards and Scorpion0422 have decided to try another FL contest as a follow up to the one held last June. As you are a regular at WP:FLC, you may be interested in taking a look at the new one, which will have different rules. Although they are still being fiddled with, three FLs in different topics will be required this time around. For more information, see here. A start date has not yet been determined, but it will likely begin some time next week. Thanks for the time, Scorpion 22:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for entering. However, Matthewedwards and I have decided that you should pick an alternative to List of Oklahoma City Thunder head coaches because according to the history, the table portion of the page was already practically FLC ready long before the contest began. Could you please pick an alternative? -- Scorpion 22:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I've picked another list.—Chris! _ct 23:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy

Just wondering, we're co-nominate this article for GAN together right? Or is the GAN procedure different than FLCs? -- K. Annoyomous24 04:12, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Since it will fail for sure and we are not aiming for good article, it doesn't matter. Also I don't think you can co-nom GAN with someone.—Chris! _ct 04:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Anyways, Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy is not close to GA. Looking at the criteria, it immediately fails 1(b). If you were aiming for a FT, the article can remain a "." It is not required for all articles to me featured. Have you read the featured topic criteria? « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie » 22:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I did. But the FT people said I need the failed GA nom to justify the limited subject requirement. I am just doing what they told me.—Chris! _ct 23:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I guess I need to turn my sign around. I'm afraid I'm too busy these days to take on any more review work. Good luck with the list, though! Scartol • Tok 19:50, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

"As of" links

In response to your creation of as of October 2008, please note that "as of" redirects are now deprecated per WP:As of. There is currently an ongoing discussion concerning the deletion of the redirect. Further redirects should not be created to avoid encouraging use of the deprecated method. Thanks – Ikara  23:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome

Someday, I'd like to get the main Chicago Bulls article featured, too! Might be a while before that happens, though. Zagalejo^^^ 06:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

List of (NBA team) head coaches

I was wondering, why are you changing the terms from a "####–##" from to a "####–####"?

To keep them consistent. If you didn't notice, some are in "####–##" format while others are ina "####–####" format. BTW, what do you think regarding the GA review of Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy‎?—Chris! _ct 06:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

To be honest, I really don't know what to write n the article, and I also don't have much time. Sorry for my inactiveness on that article (even though I barely edit it). Happy editing. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24 07:05, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

That's ok. I just want to see what you think. You don't have to edit it. Cheers—Chris! _ct 07:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Oklahoma City Thunder seasons template

Hi there. Should the Seattle seasons be listed under Oklahoma City. There is a Seattle seasons template that exists and a link to the Oklahoma City Thunder seasons template has been added. Do you think it would be best if the Seattle seasons were under its own template? Maple Leaf (talk) 19:16, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Thingstheycarried.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thingstheycarried.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

List of MTR stations

I believe that the stations should be grouped together according to lines (like in the old version), and inside each table you can construct those ones that can be listed in alphabetical or numerical format. Right now it just looks like a big mess of stations where 20 different people each added a few stations but nobody put them into an organized way. OhanaUnited 03:58, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I will do that.—Chris! _ct 05:03, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Chris,

I noticed that you know something about Chicago sports and about table formatting. I'd love for you to take a look at Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame, especially to look at the formatting - it lines up in the wrong section (at the end). Any help appreciated!

Hi there

In relation to the Timberwolves firing, should a note be added to the "Coaching Carousal" part of the 2008-09 NBA season? I have decided not to since the appointment doesn't seem to be interim. Feel free to add it, i have no problems. Thanks Monster Under Your Bed 06:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Just to clarify, if you haven't read my edit summary of why I moved this article, the reason why was because I wanted all the draft picks articles to have a consistent article name (ie.

Chcago Bulls

Thanks fot the change Chris. UCLA was just some added info. But...."had to settle" is still your opinion. We both know that Greenwood could not even carry Magic's jockstrap but that doesnt matter.
