Pronounced???

[edit]

Is it "jolly - et" or Joe-Lee-et"? 99.26.88.201 (talk) 11:52, 24 January 2010 (UTC) Martha Mae[reply]

Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-8 of the Code of Ordinances, City of Joliet, Illinois provides, "The only official, correct and proper pronunciation and spelling of the name of this city shall be Jo-li-et; the accent on the first syllable, with the "o" in the first syllable pronounced in its long sound, as in the words "so," "no" and "foe" and any other pronunciations to be discouraged as interfering with the desired uniformity in respect to the proper pronunciation of the name of this city. (Code 1939, § 1.127; Code 1961, § 1-17)" Squideshi (talk) 22:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Layman's answer: Joe-Lee-et is the proper pronunciation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soco 79 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

incomprehensible part

[edit]

This is incomprehensible, so i can't fix it: " In 1833 Joliet, following the Black Hawk War, Charles Reed built a cabin along the west side of the Des Plaines River. " --Espoo (talk) 09:26, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs location map

[edit]

I see that some changes have been made regarding Illinois place name location maps. Joliet really needs one as it's the fourth-largest city in Illinois. Bumm13 (talk) 03:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

City seal and flag image

[edit]

I am proposing that a city seal and flag should be displayed in the infobox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:FF10:4170:780C:E5DA:3119:DA5A (talk) 04:19, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ExxonMobil

[edit]

I believe ExxonMobil is located in Elwood, not Joliet. Could someone please confirm this.

Infobox Photo Collage

[edit]

Recently, the image for the page Joliet, Illinois has been changed to a collage featuring historical sites and local attractions around the city. @Magnolia677 has raised concerns that the image is of low quality. I, for one, believe it gives readers a better scope of what The City of Joliet has to offer. I was born and raised in Joliet and, given that it's the third largest city in Illinois, I believe the original, grainy photo of the Will County Courthouse does not accurately represent what the city is like today. If any other users have any issues with the new photo, please share them in the talk page before reverting previous edits. Have a lovely day. 2601:243:600:5360:4A0F:947E:4D93:BE48 (talk) 16:04, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Magnolia that the current photo is higher-quality (especially in terms of resolution) and preferable for the Infobox. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:13, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
is it okay if I do that. I just think the Aurora page looks so much better and I just want to give readers a more interactive experience. DosEquis630708 (talk) 16:18, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be okay if I made an interactive array of images for Joliet, similar to the infobox for the page Aurora, Illinois? I don't mean to step on anyone's toes. I'm new to editing but really wanna get better at it, I just feel that, as the third largest city in Illinois, Joliet has more to read about/view than the courthouse alone (which has since been demolished). Please let me know your thoughts, both of you. Again, not trying to step on anyone's toes, just trying to improve my hometown's page in any way I can. If there's anyway the three of us can collaborate I would love to do that. Let me know what you think and have a lovely day! DosEquis630708 (talk) 16:23, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:CONSENSUS, please get a consensus here before making change to the lede image. The current consensus is that the existing photo is of higher quality than the collage you tried to add. Aurora, Illinois uses a montage of individual high-quality images, not a flattened single-image collage like you tried to add. Additionally, you don't need to ping us every time you leave a new message here. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:14, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
