Add More Inline Citations (User:Epbr123talk)

[edit]

The reason why many of the articles in the twenty-five most populated cities in the United States are B-class are because they are underreferenced.

Inline citations are purposed to cite hard facts that can back up the factuality. Any extraordinary claim or statistic should be cited in this article.

Look Especially at:
[edit]
  •  Not done Cuisine subsection; only one inline citation. Needs more to cover all challengeable content.
  •  Not done Media subsection; only one inline citation. Needs more to cover all challengeable content.
  •  Not done Demographics section; primary gazeteer/census reference can be copied using the <ref name /> technique to cite each block of information above data table. More citations needed in information below data table.
  •  Not done Law and government subsection; hard facts go uncited in the paragraph describing the city government itself, the lead paragraph of the section, and the paragraph describing how Chicago often goes Democrat.

Make the Chicagoland Section Relevant (User:Ryecatcher773talk)

[edit]

 Not done As of now, the Chicagoland section does not talk really about the city of Chicago at all, but rather of its surroundings. This should be fixed; the information on Chicagoland should be relevant to the article pertaining to the actual city of Chicago.
