== Semi-protected edit request on 18 July 2024 ==
== Unrepresentative Pictures ==
 
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.

:This is so true!! Chicago's history and present day is sooo much more than the loop and river north. Pics of landmarks on the West, South and North sides are clearly in order.

== Infobox bloat ==
 
== Minimum Wage ==
There is a back and forth going on here over some infobox parameters. Blank parameters are being used to add information which was removed: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&diff=1134560181&oldid=1134555117], restored: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&diff=1134565651&oldid=1134560181], removed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&diff=1134580260&oldid=1134565651], restored: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&diff=1134658130&oldid=1134607649], removed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&diff=1134667291&oldid=1134607649], restored: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chicago&diff=1134667291&oldid=1134607649]. So far 3 editors have been involved in removing material, 2 have restored, but there is no talk discussion yet, so I am starting this section.
 
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.
There is a clear rationale for deleting these parameters, which is [[WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE]] which says of the infobox: {{tq|The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance.}} Wikipedia is not a directory, and so the purpose of the infobox is to provide some key facts about the city, especially names, location and such like. These all have parameters coded into the template that can be used. The absence of transit parameters is very good evidence that the community consensus is that transit parameters are not key information about the city that needs to be summarised in the infobox. The argument (made in an edit summary) that these are standard in city articles is incorrect. There is no standard for such information, and although some city articles have these, many do not.

What happens on this page will depend on the editor consensus here, but it would be very helpful if we could discuss the pros and cons here rather than in revert edit summaries. [[User:Sirfurboy|Sirfurboy🏄]] ([[User talk:Sirfurboy|talk]]) 18:32, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

:You well know there is an ongoing discussion about these parameters at [[WT:MOSINFOBOX]]. Leave these in place until that discussion plays out. Being they've been in the article for years before the recent removal.
:for what it's worth, I'm of the opinion that anything that has an entire separate
:section in the article is worthy of some sort of summarizing mention in the infobox, being that the purpose of an infobox is to summarize the article. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad|talk]]) 22:29, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
::I do know there is a general discussion going on there, and a fairly snowy consensus that this information is undue in infoboxes, but the edit warring is here, which is why there should be a talk discussion here as I have indicated. Infoboxes are for key facts, not for a summary of the whole article. [[User:Sirfurboy|Sirfurboy🏄]] ([[User talk:Sirfurboy|talk]]) 08:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
:::And a major city's international airports and rapid transit system are key facts about that city. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad|talk]]) 15:29, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
::::Which is an opinion, yet apparently not one that has thus far enjoyed any consensus on wikipedia, because the infobox has no parameter for them. On what basis do you assert these are key facts? Shouldn't we have an RFC requesting infobox parameters for these if they are key facts? [[User:Sirfurboy|Sirfurboy🏄]] ([[User talk:Sirfurboy|talk]]) 23:26, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 
== Semi-protected edit request on 27 August 2024 ==
== Picture of Milwaukee used as picture of Chicago in article ==
 
{{Edit semi-protected|Chicago|answered=yes}}
I'm new to editing on Wikipedia, but there is a night-time image claimed to be of Chicago in this article that is actually of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a pretty terrible error for such an important page.

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 ==

If you check the satellite view of both Chicago and Milwaukee, it becomes clear that the picture is not of Chicago. I would highly recommend changing this. [[User:Banana Peel Seal|Banana Peel Seal]] ([[User talk:Banana Peel Seal|talk]]) 18:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
