Project Barnstar[edit]

I have a basic design done for the project barnstar, but no ideas for a good name. Suggestions welcome ASAP! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about "The Friendly Confines Barnstar"?--LAAFan 02:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about this:
The WikiProject Chicago Cubs Barnstar!
{{{1}}}

You can add text to it just like any other barnstar with the {{blah blah|message ~~~~}} template! It could be renamed as The Cubbies barnstar or The North Siders barnstar too. WikiZorrosign 12:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any name is fine, but I actually went ahead and made a star graphic, like I did for WP:PHILLIES. I like the idea of having Wrigley on there, but let me go back and take a look at it. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what I did:

Sweet! I couldn't find a free-cubs logo and LAA wanted it to have Wrigley field, but that ones Perfect! WikiZorrosign 15:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you guys wanted me to decide, so the winner is User:Killervogel5]'s barnstar.--RyRy5 (talk) 15:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Took me a while to break that logo down from circles... Thanks for the appreciation, guys. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah and it took me 30 seconds! Great job KV5! WikiZorrosign 20:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising[edit]

To insure more users will join the project, does anyone know how to make a Wikipedia Ad? I'll have a go at it, but my chances of success are slim.--LAAFan 14:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have to make a .gif file using an external application WikiZorrosign 15:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay then. I don't know how to do that. I tried.

How[edit]

Do you you write a message in your barnstar, Killervogel? --LAAFan 15:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Same directions as above for the other. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to make one... Doing... Uugh! It looks black, but...  Done I couldn't make it png, so the background is black!WikiZorrosign 20:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prototype Cubs barnstar
The Cubs Barnstar
I hereby award this barnstar to the WP:CUBS talk page for being the talk page of WP:CUBS. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 18:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does this look more cubs-like, or is it too jazzed up? WikiZorrosign 19:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Cubs Barnstar
{{{1}}}
How about this?
The Cubs Barnstar
This barnstar is blah blah... KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 11:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Userbox[edit]

Could the userbox have a red outline (because the cubs are red & blue)? It would look like this:

CHCThis user is a member of WikiProject Chicago Cubs.

WikiZorrosign 23:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inviting more users[edit]

I am currently inviting users to join this WikiProject. I am asking users listed as Cubs fans. (Only 6 members, 2 to go.) If anyone else would help me with inviting, drop me a line on my talk page.--LAAFan 03:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

B. Wolterding has a bot which will generate cleanup listings for projects, but the project needs a banner for this to work. So the question is, do we want to take on the task of cleaning up Cubs related pages? --Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think we do. The wikiproject is getting inactive quick.--LAAFan 15:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cubs Sox Rivalry[edit]

You guys like what I did with the White Sox-Cubs rivalry article?

Invitation to banner discussion[edit]

Hi everyone, you are invited to comment on a discussion regarding a "converged" banner template for baseball projects. The discussion is located here. —Borgardetalk 12:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MiLB Daytona Cubs[edit]

Hi, I was wondering if the Minor League affiliate teams are considered part of this project? I live in Daytona Beach, Florida, and have some interest in expanding the Daytona Cubs article. Any advice would be appreciated. 07:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Margaret Donahue and Cubs HoF Template[edit]

I made a stub for Margaret Donahue - who was enshrined the year in the new Cubs hall of fame at Wrigley. I also built a template for the Cubs HoF and added it to the page of each and every member of same.

I didn't know what else to put in the Donahue stub, so I'll defer if anyone is still active in this Project. Regards, DaffydAtzinger (talk) 01:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
