This article seems to be very similar to the page https://www.aidsgardenchicago.org/ . For example, the article says "It is located south of Belmont Harbor and memorializes the early days of Chicago’s HIV epidemic and honoring those who continue to fight against the disease today. The site location is near the historic Belmont Rocks, a gathering spot for LGBTQ people in Chicago from the 1970s to the 1990s." while the other page says "AIDS Garden Chicago is the city’s first public monument to memorialize the early days of Chicago’s HIV epidemic, and to honor those who continue to fight against the disease today. This 2.5 acre “park with purpose” will be built along Lake Michigan just south of Belmont Harbor at the original location of the historic Belmont Rocks gathering spot."

Another very similar sentence is "The Garden’s first phase was completed in late 2019 with the installation of its anchor piece, ‘Self-Portrait,’ a 30 foot tall sculpture by the artist and activist Keith Haring." compared to the original "The Garden’s first phase was completed in late 2019 with the installation of its anchor piece, ‘Self-Portrait,’ a 30-foot sculpture by iconic late artist and activist Keith Haring."

I know there aren't very many ways to say those sentences but they're much more similar to the original webpage than I'd expect. I'm not going to try to fix it because i only edit on mobile and the interface is terrible and extremely frustrating. Cauldron bubble (talk) 16:49, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I've been meaning to sit down and pull more sources/give this page a good look-over. I think I might get started on doing so this week, thank you for bringing this up so I can address it then. ItsMackie (talk) 20:58, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
