Result: Kept Most of the raised issue were fixed during the reassessment AIRcorn (talk) 07:45, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm requesting a community reassessment of this article because I've been involved in editing it. The article seems to be boosterish in tone and to contain a lot of extraneous information. -- Mesconsing (talk) 18:48, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From a brief glance, I see that there are many brief paragraphs that could probably use expansion or combining with others. Also, the lead seems long for the article, and ideally shouldn't need citations. And a fair bit of the career section seems to be about Joliet and not on his actions as mayor.

Only a brief glance too, but I agree about the short paragraphs. It is also has a slight news ticker style (In August 1989, On October 17 etc) that is used to start many of these sentence, which is not ideal prose. ~~Mesconsing, have you notified the main contributors and Wikiprojects?~~ AIRcorn (talk) 13:03, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have resolved the stubby paragraph situation.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:20, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I had a go at editing it with the aim of neutralising some of the language. I am surprised that there is not some negative information pertaining to the introduction of gambling, but it is probably at a good enough stage to be kept as a Good article.
