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)
- I believe the current lay out is a better representation of Chicago.
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.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 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. Seasider53 (talk) 13:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- 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.--Cerebral726 (talk) 13:24, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Native Names
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 FISHERCAT5751 (talk) 00:56, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Norridge and Harwood Heights
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. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 01:22, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
