[edit] Merge with Chicago school (architecture)

From what I can gather, the two articles are about the same thing, and should be merged to avoid overlap and redundancy. - Log'a'log 02:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Chupper 19:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

I've added two tags to the article; the first is the tag on top stating the article doesn't use inline citations (we really only have 1 referenced source listed at the end), and the second tag was placed on the notable buildings section. Even though those individual articles may be referenced well, we still need to reference them here. I've added references for the Chicago Spire. Additional referencing here, and definitely throughout the rest of the article would be appreciated.

Here are the external links I pulled out per WP:EL. I'm listing them here in case they were used as references. This way we can refer back to this list and add in in-text citations to the article.

  1. Walking architectural tours of Chicago http://www.architecture.org
  2. Information on several major Chicago buildings http://www.aviewoncities.com/chicago.htm
  3. Cosmopolis overview http://dg.ian.com/index.jspcid=42611&action=viewLocation&locationId=41932
  4. Chicago Church Architecture http://www.schlacks.org
  5. American Institute of Architects http://www.aia150.org/

Thanks for your help! Chupper 16:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How much depth for the "Notable future Chicago buildings" section?

I noticed that we have differing levels of detail on these buildings. For example the Aqua Tower bullet lists information on the developer & designer, even though those organizations don't have articles. The Chicago Spire bullet does not list the developer and designer even though they already have articles...? I'm thinking we should stay consistent with the detail we go into, but what are your thoughts on how far we should go? Chupper 16:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I've removed this section. There are a lot of future Chicago buildings, but which ones are "notable"? Who is to say what is notable and what is not? A future Chicago skyscrapers template already exists (Click here). Why don't we focus on putting new information in those specific articles and focus on expanding that template?
