[edit] This is a list of people FROM Illinois

I'd like to know who you think you are putting restrictions on this list and removing people who have a direct CONNECTION to Illinois - WHO CARES WHEN IT WAS DURING THEIR LIFE! It is just as the title says, list of people FROM Illinois!!! Duh! WHAT PART OF FROM DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND! If a person is FROM Illinois and has a valid article in Wikipedia that reflects that FACT, their name should be included on this list. Cricket02 03:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I care when it happened. There wewre maybe 50,000,000 people who lived in Illinois at one time or another. Doubtless THOUSANDS of people listed in Wiki lived there at one time or another, so we need to restrict the list to people with a serious connection, not those who jumped ship as soon as they graduated.
