Mrmaroon25 (talk contribs) (I think that's who put this up here) seems to be having difficulties with renominating, so I'll help him out a bit here. Old nomination at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Chicago, Illinois1. Fieari 05:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Object - Not ready yet. See old nom. Fieari 05:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. The article has no inline references, and is referenced poorly overall. However, I must say that my previous objections about picture alignment and placement have been nicely resolved. The article as a whole, however, is not ready. RyanGerbil10 13:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is a current Good Article Collaboration of the Week article, which means major changes to the contents of the article are currently occuring and/or are likely to occur. The article should be listed only after it is stable enough to be considered for FAC. As much as I like the city, I would have to agree with the two objections above.

  • Weak Support - Anonymous_anonymous Have a Nice Day 14:29, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object Needs MUCH BETTER Picture. ie. look at the other photo submittals for world class cities.
  • Strong Object. Article highly underreferenced. I don't think use of Wikitravel as reference is allowed at all (=> Use primary references). No inline citations. External links section is cluttered. Article still having "Collaboration of the Week" hence not likely to be stable. Single entry sub-sections is a misuse of subsections. See also links not having proper format and even external links have been included in see also section. Single line paragraphs need to be merged or deleted. External links in prose to be avoided. There are many other problems. I would suggest that you go through some of the featured articles and model this on their structure. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 13:54, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
