Hi Greenmountainboy :) I hope you like the place and choose to stay.

Some links that may be of use:
 * Welcome, newcomers
 * How to edit a page
 * Village pump - ask questions you may have here, or leave a message on my talk page

It's no problem re Blanche Bruce, you've done a good job :) You'll find many others helping each other out here. Keep up the good work! :) Dysprosia 03:46, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing Paul Simon's picture! -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 23:40, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi! You're welcome for the Haymarket fix - in that case I just happened to know an article already existed so I could fix the link. After you've looked at a lot of pages you'll probably do the same :) Adam Bishop 01:35, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

User:18.24.0.120 is right -- I don't know how I managed to stick that in the article in the first place... -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 05:13, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

When you add a custom message to MediaWiki custom messages, you should also add it to All messages in the MediaWiki namespace (as mentioned in the former article :) Dori | Talk 16:41, Dec 10, 2003 (UTC)

Was a spelling mistake I just wanted to correct it: Christie Hefner redhat

Thanks, but it's not actually my image. I just borrowed it from Pete. Perhaps you'd better check with him as he uses it on his user page too. Angela. 03:13, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Wow! That was quick. Thanks for fixing my redirect before I could even find the right page again. That was spiffy. Tjdw 03:45, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I see you have some great contributions. Recently, you removed Charlie's logo from Charles Russel. I see that there wasn't enough room for it after the painting. That was a good painting btw. Keep up the good work. You might want to size the images and put them at the right like I did on Indian Wars. (You really helped on that article too.) Keep up the good work! Alexandros 16:33, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * No problem. Great job on the Handspring (company) article.  I used to have a Palm Pilot, but it broke :-( Alexandros 16:57, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Wild Bunch
When you upload images, could you describe their source and copyright status on the image description page? For example, Image:Wildbunch.jpg is, I'm guessing, public domain because it's sufficiently old, but I'm not sure - you don't say when it was taken. Could you help me here? Otherwise it becomes more difficult for people to reuse content from Wikipedia, so we could no longer call ourselves a "free encyclopedia. Martin 17:59, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * No, thank you. :) Even just "public domain, because taken on (date)" would be great. Martin 18:02, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * Btw, do you want Image:Hotchkiss deleted (seems to be broke with 0 bytes...) Martin 18:17, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No problem. As you may have guessed from the initial redirect, I'm surprised there wasn't an article already about him. :) - Hephaestos 18:46, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

revert of my user page
But I am burnt out! Angela.

 * It's ok. I've unquit now so my page can stay as you left it. ;) Angela.

I think you need to shorten your locomotive page quite drastically to make it readable Refdoc 00:31, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Well thanks for improving the no stubs image... though I think User:Angela has started using it in ironic fashion which is terribly upsetting ;-) so may be you shouldn't have :) Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 00:50, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I moved around the links you added to Union Pacific Railroad -- while those locomotives are old UP locomotives they do not belong to the UP historical fleet that they maintain. I added a new 'Preserved locomotives' section to handle information about UP historical locomotives in other hands. --Morven 05:58, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I supported your admin request :-) (dont worry about pakaran and angela, you probably will get it based on my experiences. (as long as you denounce mother teresa)) Alexandros 22:34, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Feel free to remove yourself. You haven't caused any trouble, and I recognise you have made many great contributions here and got to grips with the system very quickly, but being a sysop is more about being a trusted member of the community rather than about how many edits you've made, and you can't expect to have gained this in less than a week. People need to see how you handle various situations etc, which is why you have met with opposition. Don't let it put you off though. Wait a few months and someone else with likely nominate you, or try again in 6 months. Angela. 00:03, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

The idea is not to have lots of poems, but articles about poets and poetry. Why not join up? Bmills 11:08, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Go here and add your name under participants. Have a read first. Bmills 13:39, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi, please could you expand on your reason for listing Ghost of the Robot on VfD on December 12? A couple of people on the page have asked why you feel it should be deleted. If you no longer feel it should be, you can remove the listing as all the votes currently are to keep it. Thanks. Angela. 21:05, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello, I am Pedro Fortuny and happen to have been in touch with Alex Plank for a while around the WP. Do you know whether he is leaving us? I have not seen him for some days and was wondering. I hope he is not unwell, also. Anyway, could you give him my regards. Thanks. Pfortuny 12:11, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Welcome to the Mother Teresa article. Nice contributions. Keep on the good work and do not get burnout for the discussions... :)

 * You are beginning to be wise, Greenmountainboy! I do not have any bio or whatever handy and I think your additions will be better welcome than mine. Thanks again!
 * BTW, how is Alex? Pfortuny 22:42, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I am so puzzled now. Pfortuny 10:49, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * About what? Greenmountainboy 16:14, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * About a conversation I had two days ago at the IRC channel. Pfortuny 17:34, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I dont quite remember what we were talking about. Can you tell me what you were/are confused about? Greenmountainboy 20:57, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * Never mind. By the way, Merry Christmas.

Thanks :) Angela.

Indian Tribe Pages
Given your interest in Indians, I've got a suggestion and a question. If you haven't already, you might visit the tribal pages being built by an author from Pick and Shovel (archeology) magazine. There is a pointer to one of them in the external links in the Pequot article. The question is: While I haven't found any serious flaws, what do you think of the accuracy or validity of his material? If you also think its good, I'll add links anywhere else that a Wiki tribal article and his page line up. Thanks for you support. Lou I 16:32, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for looking. I've used one or two facts from those pages, and expect to use more. Lou I 18:39, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Sp1916.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sp1916.jpg. 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 there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking 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. Lordkinbote 23:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Snapshot1.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Snapshot1.png. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 10:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Flag of the Vermont Republic and Green Mountain Boys
Hi Green Mountain Boy. I am a big fan of the Green Mountain Boys' infantry flag. A friend sent me an image of a flag at a museum in Pennsylvania that belonged to John Stark. My guess is that early flags in North America were not as regular and codified as European flags of the time, or most flags today. I am curious what you based your flag icon on? The proportion seems to be close to that of the U.S. flag but the Stark flag seems narrower. The colors vary too. I notice that the arrangement in the canton on the Stark flag is a bit different. Still 13 five-pointed stars, but I wonder if a constallation might have been in mind, and also note the size of the stars varies. Would love to learn more. Thanks.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Greenmountainboy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Greenmountainboy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:17, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 13:25, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

The Adventure of the Empty House

"The Adventure of the Empty House", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Collier's in the United States on 26 September 1903, and in The Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom in October 1903.

Public pressure compelled Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his survival after his deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty in "The Final Problem". This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem".

Plot
On the night of March 30, an apparently unsolvable locked-room murder takes place in London: the killing of the Honourable Ronald Adair.

Dr. Watson visits the murder scene. He runs into an elderly deformed book collector, later revealed as Sherlock Holmes in disguise. Contrary to what Watson believed, Holmes won against Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls, explaining that he spent the next few years traveling to various parts of the world.

That evening, they enter an abandoned building known as Camden House whose front room overlooks Baker Street. Holmes's room can be seen across the street. In the window is a lifelike waxwork bust of Holmes in profile. At approximately midnight, a sniper, who has taken the bait, fires a specialized air gun, scoring a direct hit on Holmes's dummy. Inspector Lestrade arrests the gunman, who is revealed as Colonel Sebastian Moran, Adair's whist partner and murderer. Holmes describes Moran as having been "the second most dangerous man in London" while Moriarty was still alive.

Holmes speculates that Adair had caught Moran cheating at cards, and threatened to expose his dishonourable behaviour. Moran, who earned a living playing cards crookedly, got rid of the one man who could rob him of his livelihood.

Publication history
"The Adventure of the Empty House" was published in the US in Collier's on 26 September 1903, and in the UK in The Strand Magazine in October 1903. The story was published with seven illustrations by Frederic Dorr Steele in Collier's, and with seven illustrations by Sidney Paget in the Strand. It was included in the short story collection The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which was published in the US in February 1905 and in the UK in March 1905.

Inspirations
Andrew Glazzard has suggested that the author may have been hinting his audience of the royal baccarat scandal in which Sir William Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet, an army officer and tiger hunter, had been accused of cheating at baccarat. He sued his accusers and the trial called prince Edward (later king Edward VII). Glazzard also suggests that the oblique references that Holmes makes about his "missing years" are hints to the explorations of Sven Hedin in Tibet and Francis Younghusband's expedition to that country, and also to pro-British espionage in Mahdist Sudan.

Film and television
This story was adapted as a short film released in 1921 as part of the Stoll film series starring Eille Norwood as Holmes.

The 1931 film The Sleeping Cardinal (also known as Sherlock Holmes' Fatal Hour) is loosely based on "The Adventure of the Empty House" and "The Final Problem".

Many elements of "The Adventure of the Empty House" were used in the 1939–1946 Sherlock Holmes film series starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. In Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1943), Holmes disguises himself as a German bookseller in Switzerland. The Woman in Green (1945) uses the scene in which a sniper attempts to shoot Holmes from across the street and shoots a wax bust instead, and is apprehended by Holmes and Watson who lie in wait. Colonel Sebastian Moran appears as the villain in Terror by Night (1946) as the last of Moriarty's gang.

The story was adapted for a 1951 TV episode of We Present Alan Wheatley as Mr Sherlock Holmes in... starring Alan Wheatley as Holmes, Raymond Francis as Dr. Watson and Bill Owen as Inspector Lestrade. The episode is now lost.

The story was adapted in 1980 as an episode of the Soviet TV series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson starring Vasily Livanov. The episode has some minor departures: Moran tries to shoot Holmes during his fight with Moriarty (he actually appears in the story before Moriarty, and both Holmes and Watson are aware of his motive to kill Adair from early on), with Holmes pretending to be hit to fake his death, Adair is still alive at the start of the episode, Watson unsuccessfully tries to protect him as instructed by Holmes, and Watson briefly becomes a prime suspect in Adair's murder.

The story was later adapted in 1986 as an episode of The Return of Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett. The episode is rather faithful to Doyle's story, except that Moran tries to shoot Holmes in Switzerland instead of dropping boulders on him, and it is Watson – not Holmes – that deduces the reason that Moran had for killing Ronald Adair. It was the first episode to feature Edward Hardwicke as Dr Watson, replacing David Burke who had played the role in the preceding episodes (Hardwicke reenacted a scene from "The Final Problem" in a flashback, consisting of Watson at the waterfall shouting to Holmes and reading his letter, which had been performed by Burke).

"The Adventure of the Empty House" was adapted as an episode of the animated television series Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. The episode, also titled "The Adventure of the Empty House", first aired in 1999.

In "The Empty Hearse", the first episode of the third series of Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch which aired on 1 January 2014, Holmes returns to London two years (instead of three) after faking his death. Although Watson is surprised that Sherlock is alive, he is furious that Sherlock didn't contact him in the last two years. He reluctantly teams up with Sherlock to investigate an underground terrorist network.

Radio
Edith Meiser adapted the story as an episode of the American radio series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The episode aired on 5 October 1932, with Richard Gordon as Sherlock Holmes and Leigh Lovell as Dr. Watson. A remake of the script aired on 15 October 1936 (with Gordon as Holmes and Harry West as Watson).

Meiser also adapted the story as an episode of the American radio series The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, with Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson, that aired on 29 September 1940. Another episode in the same series that was also adapted from the story aired on 11 April 1948 (with John Stanley as Holmes and Alfred Shirley as Watson).

John Gielgud played Holmes with Ralph Richardson as Watson in a radio adaptation of the story that aired on NBC radio on 24 April 1955.

Michael Hardwick adapted the story as a radio production that aired on the BBC Light Programme in 1961, as part of the 1952–1969 radio series starring Carleton Hobbs as Holmes and Norman Shelley as Watson, with Noel Johnson as Colonel Moran.

"The Empty House" was dramatised for BBC Radio 4 in 1993 by Bert Coules as part of the 1989–1998 radio series starring Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson. It featured Michael Pennington as Professor Moriarty, Frederick Treves as Colonel Moran, Donald Gee as Inspector Lestrade, and Peter Penry-Jones as Sir John.

"The Adventure of the Empty House" was combined with "The Final Problem" for an episode of The Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, a series on the American radio show Imagination Theatre, starring John Patrick Lowrie as Holmes and Lawrence Albert as Watson. The episode, titled "The Return of Sherlock Holmes", first aired in 2009.

Other media
The story, along with "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax", "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton", and "The Red-Headed League", provided the source material for the 1923 play The Return of Sherlock Holmes.

In 1975, DC Comics published Sherlock Holmes #1, a comic which adapted "The Adventure of the Empty House" and "The Final Problem". It was intended to be an ongoing series, but future issues were cancelled due to low sales.

In the last short story in the book Flashman and the Tiger (1999) by George MacDonald Fraser, Fraser's anti-hero Harry Flashman sets out to murder Moran, who is blackmailing Flashman's granddaughter. He trails Moran to Camden House, but instead witnesses Holmes capture him.

Baritsu
Baritsu is the name given to a form of martial art used to explain how Holmes had avoided falling into the Reichenbach Falls with Professor Moriarty. As Holmes himself explained his survival: "We tottered together upon the brink of the fall. I have some knowledge, however, of baritsu, or the Japanese system of wrestling, which has more than once been very useful to me. I slipped through his grip, and he with a horrible scream kicked madly for a few seconds and clawed the air with both his hands. But for all his efforts he could not get his balance, and over he went."

In 1982 Fromm and Soames, followed by others including Y. Hirayama, J. Hall, Richard Bowen, and James Webb, suggested that Doyle had meant to refer to Bartitsu, an eclectic martial art that had been founded by Londoner E. W. Barton-Wright in 1899: several years after Holmes had supposedly used it, but two years before publication of the story.

It is uncertain why Holmes referred to "baritsu", rather than "Bartitsu". It is possible that Doyle, who, like Barton-Wright, was writing for Pearson’s Magazine during the late 1890s, was vaguely aware of Bartitsu and simply misremembered or misheard the term, perhaps in part due to Japanese phonology's prohibition on consecutive non-nasal consonants; it may even have been a typographical error, a concern about copyright, or a deliberate alteration to match the aforementioned Japanese phonological pattern. A newspaper report on a Bartitsu demonstration in London, published in 1900, had likewise misspelled the name as "baritsu".

The Japan Sherlock Holmes Club, formed in 1977, evolved from the "Baritsu Chapter" founded in 1948.

Talk:Richard Hanson (Canadian politician)

Untitled
I made an interesting observation while trying to write an article for this apparently obscure Canadian politician. Wikipedia lists Richard Hanson as the leader of the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada] from 1940-1943.

However, the only non-Wikipedia-influenced source I can find on the web that says anything about him is a page on the Canadian parliament's website that mentions Hanson and another guy named Arthur Meighen (not currently mentioned on the Wikipedia page) as the only two Progressive Conservative party leaders not to be chosen by national convention.

It also mentions that the dates for Hanson are 1940-1941, and that Meighen was party leader, 1941-1942. This contradicts the list on the Progressive Party Wikipedia page.

I think it's reasonable to assume that the info on Parliament's page is good, but it doesn't give enough to write a correction, just enough to make it clear that the Wikipedia list has a problem.

Would someone with more knowledge of Canada, or a good textbook, like to sort this out? There's nothing on the web to help, and I don't have an appropriate hard-copy reference. He's not especially important, but think of it as a challenge.

Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy

The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, or IMSA, is a three-year residential public secondary education institution in Aurora, Illinois, United States, with an enrollment of approximately 650 students.

Enrollment is generally offered to incoming sophomores, although younger students who have had the equivalent of one year of algebra and a 9th-grade science equivalent are eligible to apply. All applicants undergo a competitive admissions process involving the review of grades, teacher evaluations, student essays, and SAT scores. Historically, approximately one-third of applicants in any given year are admitted. Due to its nature as a public institution, there are no charges related to tuition, room, and board; however, there is an annual student fee that may be reduced or waived based on family income. IMSA has been consistently ranked by Newsweek as one of the top ten high schools in the country for math and science, and some of its graduates have become leaders in a variety of fields. It is the top-rated public high school in Illinois on Niche.com.

History
The school's founding president was former Batavia Superintendent Stephanie Pace Marshall, who was involved with the project from the start and with the school’s first legal counsel Richard L. Horwitz, helped form IMSA's original legislation, governing by-laws and slogan. Marshall retired from the position on June 30, 2007, and was later named President Emerita by the Board of Trustees.

Although the school received a budget cut in financial year 2002, its budget has since increased with the support of House Minority Leader Tom Cross. IMSA's chairperson was Paula Olszewski-Kubilius.

Admission
Prospective students, who are usually freshmen in high school but in some cases may be eighth graders, must complete an application to be considered for admission to IMSA.

The application process consists of an official transcript of the student's last 2½ years of school, scores from the SAT I or ACT, two student essays, three teacher evaluations in science, mathematics, and English, and a list of awards and extracurricular activities.

Historic admission statistics
In order to draw greater numbers of applications and "transform teaching and learning," IMSA has an outreach program run by the Center for Teaching and Learning (formerly known as The Center for Advancement and Renewal of Learning and Teaching (The Center@IMSA), then "Professional Field Services (PFS)"). Some students who are invited to attend IMSA are admitted on the condition that they successfully complete a three-week, intensive preparation course, known as EXCEL, over the summer. IMSA has a fairly low retention rate; the average retention rate per class is 85%. The reasons for this may include the difficulty of the IMSA curriculum, home-sickness, disciplinary expulsion, student's family moving out of state, and the inability for Illinois students to matriculate to IMSA after their sophomore year.

Academics
Students at IMSA take rigorous college preparatory courses, with all classes being taught at the honors level, though IMSA philosophically spurns the Advanced Placement curriculum. Each student must fulfill a set of specific credits in order to graduate. This set of credits is broken down by academic subject. Each semester-long class counts for 0.5 credits, unless it meets with greater-than-normal frequency.

In addition to the academic program, IMSA also offers a large number clubs ranging from religious clubs to volunteer organizations. All these clubs are chartered by the Student Council, colloquially referred to as StudCo.

Student Inquiry and Research

Most Wednesdays are "I Days" (for "inquiry") and are usually reserved for juniors and seniors to research in the SIR program. SIR also runs during the summer of one's sophomore year and junior year, allowing a student to conduct four disparate investigations.

External programs
Unlike many other secondary schools, IMSA runs extracurricular and summer programs for the teachers and students of the State of Illinois. The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), is the division of the academy that directs and manages programs serving Illinois Educators and Students. CTL offerings enable students to develop and sustain Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills. CTL Student offerings include the IMSA Fusion program, Summer@IMSA, Funshop student enrichment programs, an on-line research course (RISE) open to all Illinois students, ALLIES (selected High School students that lead and facilitate inquiry-based STEM programs) and a variety of online learning experiences. CTL Educator offerings include professional development to include IMSA Core Competencies, IMSA Fusion (Offering professional development for educators teaching the FUSION after school program) and the annual "IMSA Teacher Institute Day" for local Mathematics and Science educators. All CTL Programs place a special emphasis on students who are historically under-represented and under-served in math and science. Uniquely, The Center for Teaching and Learning, also operates a field office in the Metro-east area.

Publications
The Acronym is IMSA's student-run general affairs newspaper. In the 2008–2009 school year The Acronym ceased paper publishing and transitioned to an online format. The Acronym also publishes yearly Back to School editions and Senior Editions at the beginning and end of the school year, respectively. Since its inception, The Acronym has had the participation of more than 400 writers. In the 2022-2023 academic year, The Acronym reintroduced printed editions while maintaining its online articles. Additionally, it launched its mobile application that same year.

Athletics
IMSA is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA), the organization which governs most sports and competitive activities in the state of Illinois, and began competing in the Little Ten Conference, a subdivision of the IHSA, during the 2021–2022 school year. IMSA's sports teams are stylized as the Titans.

The school sponsors interscholastic teams for young men and women in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, and volleyball. Young women may also compete in badminton. While not sponsored by the IHSA, the school also sponsors a dance team for young men and women.

Competitive activities
The following teams have finished in the top four of their respective IHSA sponsored state championship tournament:
 * Chess: 4th place (1997–98, 1998–99, 2009–1); 3rd place (1990–91, 1994–95, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2015–16 ); 2nd place (1989–90); State Champions (1986–87, 1987–88, 1995–96, 1996–97, 2016–17, 2017–18)
 * Scholastic Bowl: 4th place (1991–92, 2014–15); 3rd place (2009–10, 2015–16, 2017–18, 2018–19); 2nd place (1992–93); State Champions (1988–89, 1989–90, 1993–94, 1995–96, 1996–97, 1997–98, 1998–99, 2000–01, 2010–11, 2011–12, 2013–14, 2016–17, 2021-2022)

Student Council
In addition to its primary role as the mediator between administrators and students, Student Council works with administrators to change aspects of the Academy. The Student Council website provides the student body relevant information about projects that the council is working on. Student Council also charters clubs at the beginning of each academic year and provides them with the necessary funds to hold various events. Student Council works throughout the year to collect student feedback and use that information to make changes that reflect the intentions of the student body.

Awards
IMSA consistently ranks at the top of the nation in standardized test scores (of roughly 200 students in the senior class, about 50 are National Merit Semifinalists), as well as in the prestigious Siemens and Intel Science competitions. In the class of 2009, five students were named Siemens Regional Finalists and ten others as semifinalists.

Six mathematics teachers have been honored with the Edyth May Sliffe Award: Titu Andreescu (1994), Ronald Vavrinek (1995), Micah Fogel (2001), Steven Condie (2002), Michael Keyton (2003), Don Porzio (2004), and Steven Condie (2nd award) (2007). Asteroid 21441 Stevencondie is named after Dr. Condie.

Dr. Lee Eysturlid was honored with a University of Chicago Outstanding Educator Award (2020).
