== Minimum Wage ==
This is factually false. Chicago was again named Site Selection's top city for corporate expansions and relocations for the ninth year in a row. If the Fox News citation is included, then the information for Site Selection should be included as well to show the entire picture, rather than painting Chicago as a city experiencing an exodus.
 
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.

My suggestion is removing the line and citation all together and just listing out the F500 corporations like they do for every other city on the wiki.

:[[File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg|20px|link=|alt=]] '''Not done:'''<!-- Template:ESp --> Per the English Wikipedia community [[WP:FOXNEWS|Fox News is generally a reliable source when not talking about science or politics]]. Your particular Site Selection citation is very much unreliable as there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the site that says {{tq|Data is from many sources and not warranted to be accurate or current}}. I would advise starting a [[WP:CON|consensus]] discussion about potentially balancing out the picture as you insinuated; but that would be outside the scope of an [[WP:ER|edit request]]. —[[User:Sirdog|<span style="color:#058700">'''Sirdog'''</span> ]]([[User talk:Sirdog|talk]]) 09:28, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you for replying to my comments.
The Fox News article is making assertions about the economy of Chicago. Doesn't economics qualify a science (by Wiki's own definition)? Isn't labeling the relocations of three companies as an "exodus" not an exceptional claim? Caterpillar headquarters is not even located in Chicago (it's marketing office will remain in Chicago), and each one of the companies including Boeing and Citadel are maintaining a presence in the city:
::https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/05/boeing-to-move-headquarters-from-chicago-to-virginia-.html
::https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/billionaire-hedge-fund-manager-ken-griffin-moving-citadel-hq-out-of-chicago-into-miami/2864133/
::Also, the disclaimer you noted on Site Selection is located at the bottom of the website to include the legal coverage for the inclusion of different sources. Fox News terms of services contains the same legal protection. The data on corporate location and expansion is pulled from the Conway Data Projects Database which "qualifies investments that meet at least one of three criteria: a minimum $1 million capex; 20 or more jobs created; or 20,000 sq. ft. or more of new space." So they are actually providing a criteria for their data. The Fox News article is trying to paint the city in specific light by ignoring factual evidence that, while some companies are leaving, others are moving the the city (most recently Kellogg).
::New York city has had a number of companies leaves (as do most municipalities), yet Wiki has not reflected this in the intro for NYC. There's no consistency for this which makes the assertion of an "exodus" combined with a Fox News (an already controversial source) look political and biased and should be removed.

:::Upon further review of Site Selection my dismissal of it offhand as unreliable due to their disclaimer was wrong of me. Evaluation of editorial practices gives me reason to believe that it could be reliable. I do apologize for that; I was moving through edit requests fairly quickly and did not research further when I saw the disclaimer at the bottom. I appreciate you pointing that out.
:::In relation to your question about this classifying as science, I would say for the purposes of the relevant RfC about Fox News that economics would not fall under the umbrella of science in this case. It is possible I'm entirely wrong, in which case another editor may provide relevant guidance.
:::All of the above said, I do not possess sufficient understanding of this situation or interest in doing so as a volunteer to take steps to address your concern outside the sphere of an [[WP:ER|edit request]]. I would advise opening an entirely new discussion here explicitly asking for editors for provide input on your point of view, and I wish you luck in that and in your future editing.
:::Cheers! —[[User:Sirdog|<span style="color:#058700">'''Sirdog'''</span> ]]([[User talk:Sirdog|talk]]) 05:23, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

== Unrepresentative Pictures ==
 
{{Edit semi-protected|Chicago|answered=yes}}▼
Just a casual visitor here, but I couldn't help but notice the extremely limited scope of the infobox images. Three of the photos (the aerial shot, art institute, and pritzker pavilion) all capture the same half mile square, while the other three all depict the near north side from various perspectives. It goes without saying that this selection is entirely unrepresentative (and therefore unencyclopedic!) of a city as large and culturally diverse as Chicago. I'm not an editor here nor do I have the time to become one, but as a longtime resident and lover of the city it seemed important to point this out.

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 ==

I would like to make an addition to the "Music" section of this article, relating to Hip-Hop and rap. The music scene in Chicago is a vital part in it's history, and having Indie Rock be its representative isn't a good representation, with great musicians such as juice wrld, kanye and polo G being born there.

: First of all, please read [[WP:EDITXY]]; edit requests must be specific. Your request is essentially asking for the protection to be lifted, which is not going to happen now. Secondly, the article already has an entertainment section which links to [[Music of Chicago]], which is a large enough topic to merit it's own article. <b>[[User:Ohnoitsjamie|OhNo<span style="color: #D47C14;">itsJamie</span>]] [[User talk:Ohnoitsjamie|<sup>Talk</sup>]]</b> 17:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
