message: I removed this;
In November 2010, the Cubs announced a plan to float government-backed bonds to pay for renovations to historic Wrigley Field http://chicagobreakingbusiness.com/2010/11/ricketts-no-plan-b-if-state-wont-back-wrigley-bonds.html, which has come under scruitiny due to among other things the current state of government debt and Ricketts' political activity (a noted Tea Party supporter/ small government advocate), a political position which puts his attempt to have government intervene on his business-behalf at odds with his stated political views.

message: "Citework" is what I call the grunge work of looking up citations and creating footnotes in the form I understand to be standard. This article has lots of presumably good citations but most, still, are lacking "full form" footnotes. I'll probably chip away at it but I welcome any help; and hope that going forward maybe we can upgrade-as-we-go, eh? 
... &, encountering it more and more these days, I'll make my first effort here to address the mega-block of (yes, handsome, but) annoying, impersonal ... "templates" (they're called) up top of this Talk page. I don't think they are welcoming or encouraging to an editor who comes (in person; v. bot?) to the Talk page to talk about the article. They're intrusive in a guilty-until-proven-innocent way. Put them at the bottom of the Talk page? Or in a small "utilities/contents" kind of box to the upper right? Or in an expand-if-you-want long-thin header box? Those are not a bad ideas, off the top of my head. I'm just thinking "aloud" here; it's not my specialty. Any other thoughts? Cheers.
