Comments

[edit]

1.

  • Link incorporation in the lead
  • Link annexation in the lead and first mention in the prose body to Municipal annexation
    • Both done
  • "The site of the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company foundry is scheduled to become a development of single-family homes" - Is an update on this known? The source is from 6 years ago.
    • Not that I could find.
  • Is the paragraph starting with "About three-quarters of the housing stock, 74.9 percent, consists of single-family detached homes." referring to Blue Island Ridge or Washington Heights?
    • Washington Heights, which I've done.
  • Link bungalows at the first mention, not the second
  • Chicago Bridge & Iron Company is a duplink
    • Both done
  • Link the Democratic Party, not going to be obvious to a non-US reader
    • Already linked
  • Link township. It's not a universal governmental level (not even in the US)
    • Done
  • "Post offices are in nearby Auburn Gresham, Roseland, and Morgan Park" - This implies there are no post offices in Washington Heights. Is this accurate, because a post office has been mentioned before?
    • It is; hopefully I've made it clearer.
  • Metra is a duplink
    • Fixed
  • Link the various college degrees
    • Done
  • "It contains 1.8 accessible park acres (0.73 ha) per 1,000 residents, compared to a citywide figure of 2.4 acres (0.97 ha)." - Can we get a total given?
    • Only the per-capita figures are given by the source, sorry.
  • "Part of the Southland Century Bike Network, it was reportedly underutilized in 2016.[92]" - Is there anything more recent for this? The 2016 figures isn't really relevant without anything newer
    • A mural was painted by it in 2018, which I've added.

  • Is ref 35 a reliable source? It looks like Rob Paral's personal website.
    • Paral is a community demographer and statistician, and the site appears to be in a professional capacity. Therefore the source should be counted as reliable.
  • For ref 58, it seems like the fares tab, not the map tab, is the clearer presentation of the information
    • I'm sorry, I don't believe I understand what you mean. (I don't see that tab on the page.)
  • Is The History Press a reliable publisher? I've seen some of their books before, and they have a disclaimer in the front cover stating that the publisher does not guarantee the accuracy of the published information
    • Hmmm, I don't recall seeing that disclaimer, but upon further research Zangs doesn't appear to have the best credentials, although the book was received favorably by local news and appears to be a solid source for information prima facie. I'll see if I can find some better sources for its claims.
  • " "Chicago Multifamily Market Characterization: Developing a Comprehensive Picture of the Multifamily Housing Landscape"" is not working for me, is this a temporary down issue with the website or a dead link?
    • It's not working for me, either. I've added an archive to it.
  • Ref 40 should have the first word capitalized
    • It's not in the original.

3.

  • Were any other indigenous settlers besides the Potawatami?
    • Not that I can find.
  • Would it be worth adding the 2010 Census data to provide a comparison?
    • For population I added a comparison with the 2010 and 2000 Censuses; I don't think it's particularly valuable for any other stuff.
      • Yeah, I was just referring to population. I should have been clearer.
