== Latinos in Chicago ==
== Semi-protected edit request on 5 July 2023 ==
 
There is virtually no mention of Latinos presence in Chicago. This should be in the demographics section. I'd be happy to add in the more than hundred years of history into this section.

Add citation to the following section:
 
:Sure, just remember to cite your text to [[WP:Reliable sources]].
Chicago has a distinctive fine art tradition. For much of the twentieth century, it nurtured a strong style of figurative surrealism, as in the works of Ivan Albright and Ed Paschke. In 1968 and 1969, members of the Chicago Imagists, such as Roger Brown, Leon Golub, Robert Lostutter, Jim Nutt, and Barbara Rossi produced bizarre representational paintings. Henry Darger is one of the most celebrated figures of outsider art.[citation needed]

The Freight Rail section should be updated. It says that "Six of the seven Class I railroads meet in Chicago." This is no longer accurate. Kansas City Southern merged with Canadian Pacific. So now there are only six Class I railroads, and they all meet in Chicago. [[Special:Contributions/24.112.119.132|24.112.119.132]] ([[User talk:24.112.119.132|talk]]) 08:57, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

The top image in the infobox has a glaring keystoning issue so the quality is not very good.

:I believe the current lay out is a better representation of Chicago. <s>Navy Pier is Chicago's 2nd most popular tourist destination (after the art institute), so is certainly worth including. It's image also has the added advantage of showing more of the northern shoreline.</s> I'm also not sure the keystoning issue (which admittedly I wasn't familiar with as a term before you used it), is large enough to make the current skyline image unusable. The skyline from the current angle shows a wide range of the most famous buildings (Willis Tower, Hancock, Crain Communications Building) and Millennium Park, far more than the proposed alternative.

::I would support the use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&oldid=1168042882 this] one. The existing one does appear to be of inferior resolution, even when viewed in thumbnail form. I've never understood why aerial views are preferred, when the layman is more familiar with street-level views. [[Flatiron Building]] suffers from this too.

According to a guide published by Level Up Limo, Chicago is depicted as a destination with a diverse array of attractions, ranging from the iconic Millennium Park and Navy Pier to the bustling shopping district of The Magnificent Mile. The guide also highlights the cultural vibrancy of neighborhoods such as Wicker Park and Bucktown, known for their artistic communities and eclectic dining scenes. The publication reflects Chicago’s broad appeal to tourists, catering to a variety of interests and experiences 1.<ref><ref>== References ==

:::Also I have striked a part of my comment above where I made the mistake that Navy Pier was removed in the proposed changes. That is not the case, the "L" train is removed. I also believe the train should be kept in place of Willis Tower, as there is plenty of coverage of iconic buildings in the current and proposed collage.--[[User:Cerebral726|Cerebral726]] ([[User talk:Cerebral726|talk]]) 13:24, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
