• Link incorporation in the lead
• Link annexation in the lead and first mention in the prose body to Municipal annexation
  • Both done
• "The site of the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company foundry is scheduled to become a development of single-family homes" - Is an update on this known? The source is from 6 years ago.
  • Not that I could find.
• Is the paragraph starting with "About three-quarters of the housing stock, 74.9 percent, consists of single-family detached homes." referring to Blue Island Ridge or Washington Heights?
  • Washington Heights, which I've done.
• Link bungalows at the first mention, not the second
• Chicago Bridge & Iron Company is a duplink
  • Both done
• Link the Democratic Party, not going to be obvious to a non-US reader
  • Already linked
• Link township. It's not a universal governmental level (not even in the US)
  • Done
• "Post offices are in nearby Auburn Gresham, Roseland, and Morgan Park" - This implies there are no post offices in Washington Heights. Is this accurate, because a post office has been mentioned before?
  • It is; hopefully I've made it clearer.
• Metra is a duplink
  • Fixed
• Link the various college degrees
  • Done
• "It contains 1.8 accessible park acres (0.73 ha) per 1,000 residents, compared to a citywide figure of 2.4 acres (0.97 ha)." - Can we get a total given?
  • Only the per-capita figures are given by the source, sorry.
• "Part of the Southland Century Bike Network, it was reportedly underutilized in 2016.[92]" - Is there anything more recent for this? The 2016 figures isn't really relevant without anything newer
  • A mural was painted by it in 2018, which I've added.

• Is ref 35 a reliable source? It looks like Rob Paral's personal website.
  • Paral is a community demographer and statistician, and the site appears to be in a professional capacity. Therefore the source should be counted as reliable.
• For ref 58, it seems like the fares tab, not the map tab, is the clearer presentation of the information
  • I'm sorry, I don't believe I understand what you mean. (I don't see that tab on the page.)
• Is The History Press a reliable publisher? I've seen some of their books before, and they have a disclaimer in the front cover stating that the publisher does not guarantee the accuracy of the published information
  • Hmmm, I don't recall seeing that disclaimer, but upon further research Zangs doesn't appear to have the best credentials, although the book was received favorably by local news and appears to be a solid source for information prima facie. I'll see if I can find some better sources for its claims.
    • I couldn't replace it in any of the claims it appears in. It was, however, used authoritatively by noted historian Geoffrey Baer, and it appears to be adequate for the purposes of a local subdivision. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 01:32, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
      • It ought to work for a GA. An FAC may question it though.
• " "Chicago Multifamily Market Characterization: Developing a Comprehensive Picture of the Multifamily Housing Landscape"" is not working for me, is this a temporary down issue with the website or a dead link?
  • It's not working for me, either. I've added an archive to it.
• Ref 40 should have the first word capitalized
  • It's not in the original.

3.

• Were any other indigenous settlers besides the Potawatami?
  • Not that I can find.
• Would it be worth adding the 2010 Census data to provide a comparison?
  • For population I added a comparison with the 2010 and 2000 Censuses; I don't think it's particularly valuable for any other stuff.
    • Yeah, I was just referring to population. I should have been clearer.
