NASCAR

What about the upcoming June 1-2 Nascar steet races? I know my post was deleted, but... Anyhow, I think it's notable enough to be included in this article? The page is protected, so I can't add it. 104.187.66.104 (talk) 21:05, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Well, if you can give citations to reliable sources, then I'd say it should added. But I think it would be better if it is mentioned as something like an annual event that occurs. But I am not completely sure, as I am relatively mediocre when it comes to editing skills. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 21:17, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's not an annual event. It's happening this year, I'm not sure if it's annual. Also, source: https://www.nascarchicago.com/ 104.187.66.104 (talk) 13:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
The intention is for it to become annual, replacing the previous race at Chicagoland Speedway in nearby Joliet. We'll see if that happens, but until it does become an ongoing annual event, a single race is not significant enough to be included here. oknazevad (talk) 15:25, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I'd suggest you add it to Grant Park (Chicago), there is a section on events and I don't think the article is protected. You might want to wait until it's over though for the encyclopedias' purposes. Alanscottwalker (talk) 20:49, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 5 July 2023

Add citation to the following section:

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]

  Done though, I used a different source (given that the supplied one is not easily accessible). M.Bitton (talk) 19:35, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Railroads

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. 24.112.119.132 (talk) 08:57, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Source for Chicago Sky

Montage

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 this? ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 12:26, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
