== MontageLatinos in Chicago ==
 
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.

:Sure, just remember to cite your text to [[WP:Reliable sources]].
:(Also, there is an article [[Mexicans in Chicago]] and perhaps others to add to or you might want to create other such articles, too). -- [[User:Alanscottwalker|Alanscottwalker]] ([[User talk:Alanscottwalker|talk]]) 18:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

The top image in the infobox has a glaring keystoning issue so the quality is not very good. How about rearranging the montage to something similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&oldid=1168042882 this]? <span style="background:deepskyblue;padding:0.5px 10px;font-size:14px">[[User:Nkon21|<span style="color:azure">ɴᴋᴏɴ21</span>]] <span style="color:navy;letter-spacing:-2px">❯❯❯</span> [[User talk:Nkon21|<span style="color:#E4E4E2">talk</span>]]</span> 12:26, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

: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.

== Minimum Wage ==
::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. [[User:Seasider53|Seasider53]] ([[User talk:Seasider53|talk]]) 13:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 
The article says that Chicago has a high minimum wage at $15 per hour, though the minimum wage is now $16.20 as of July 1st 2024.
:::A bird's eye view gives a greater overview of an object in a way that an encyclopedia should. While it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing angle possible, it certainly isn't ugly, and is richer in information gained.

:::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)

== Native Names ==
 
== Semi-protected edit request on 27 August 2024 ==
The two Indigenous languages most relevant to Chicago history are Myaamia and Potawatomi, not Myaamia and Ojibwe. According to Myaamia speakers, their name is accurately spelled Šikaakonki, not Shikaakwa, and the Potawatomi name is Zhegagoynak. https://decolonialatlas.com/turtle-island-decolonized [[User:FISHERCAT5751|FISHERCAT5751]] ([[User talk:FISHERCAT5751|talk]]) 00:56, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

== Norridge and Harwood Heights ==
[[User:SSaleh400|SSaleh400]] ([[User talk:SSaleh400|talk]]) 22:06, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

The Municipal boundaries of Norridge and Harwood Heights and aren't shown as an enclave on the map. Is there any way someone can change this? Same with the enclaves of an unincorporated area.
