Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Chicago, Illinois1

An interesting article, in depth, and educational, Chicago is one of the most influential cities in the world. The article has gone through much editing since it's last attempt at becoming a featured article. I believe it deserves another shot. Un sogno modesto 07:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Object - Insufficient references in my estimation, no inline citations. The references section even has a note written asking someone to use wikipedia standards in references. I'd also like to comment here, because I see the meme show up frequently, that subject matter has nothing to do with an article being featured. Just because the subject matter is important doesn't make an article good enough to be featured, and on the flip side, if the subject matter is obscure or silly, that doesn't make the article less qualified. Just saying. Fieari 18:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object - agree with Fieari- no inline citations, only 2 book references (there's got to be way more that can be used to verify the information). A couple of the lists would do better in prose. AndyZ 00:23, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object per above. Also, some sections, such as "Utilities and infrastructure", could do with expansion/cleaning up. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support A great page representing the city very well as well as providing in-depth information on all categories. Mrmaroon25
  • Object. I contribute to/watch this page, I have to say I don't think its ready. The first issue on the article's talk page is my plea for someone to clean up the image formatting; there currently are vast deserts of white space which need to be dealt with, as well as a lack of references and inline citations.
