Low Importance[edit]

Does anyone know how to get the "low importance" rating off? This article is detailing a whole location in the metropolitan area of Chicago -- I would guess there are nearly 1 million people living in this area. How could it be marked as of "low importance"? --Peacekeepurwar (talk) 15:38, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Close paraphrase[edit]

Much of this article is a close paraphrase of this source. I am not convinced that the phrase "Chicago Southland" is in fact a common one. agtx 16:52, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed a common phrase in the Chicago Metropolitan area but cannot disagree that this is a close paraphrase.--Peacekeepurwar (talk) 23:04, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's recent (article states "within the last 20 years"). When growing up in this area in the 80s and 90s it was referred to mostly as "the South Suburbs" or "the Southwest Suburbs". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:AA10:8101:5D80:8D36:FAA8:BC1A:4639 (talk) 19:51, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It being a recent phrase isn't mutually exclusive with it being common, especially when the demographic has changed rather dramatically in the last 25 years or so. Peacekeepurwar (talk) 03:51, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Crime Section[edit]

The Crime Section needs work. It seems a bit odd to pick out one city, Harvey, and have that be one of two sentences in this section. If not expanded it should be deleted. Peacekeepurwar (talk) 00:10, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
