[edit] Fox River Valley
I've removed this area from the template as it is not a unique or noteworthy addition. The Fox River Valley appears on no maps I can find and indeed is simply a part of Chicagoland and not a unique population center or region. Agriculture 01:06, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- I can upload a map for you if you want. mjvan12
- I'm quite aware of where the Fox River is in the state. It runs through Chicagoland from roughly Antioch, IL to Plano, IL. From there it exits Chicagoland briefly and runs through around 20 miles of largely unpopulated land to Dayton, IL before joining with the Illinois River. It is neither unique nor notable on the template. Perhaps you should add a link to the Chicagoland page on the subject, but being listed in the template is inappropriate.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Copley.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Copley.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 21:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Greetings!
I did some work on the Oswego, IL article that you tagged for clean up. I am a newbie, so I invite you to check out what I did. Feel free to give me any criticism or advice that you may have. Take care! Sonrisasgrandes 20:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC) :)

[edit] Kendall County, Illions
Question for you. As I have been going through the templates, I noticed that you created a stragon one called Template:Kendall County, Illions which looks exactly like Template:Kendall County, Illinois. Is this an error on your part, or what is the reasoning for creating it? What state is Illions? I am assuming this is a spelling mistake for Illinois. So, should this then be deleted? Needed to know before I do something about it. Thanks.--Kranar drogin 06:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
