Citing Sources

Ever since I originally created this page, I cited all my sources. Then I noticed that the page was tagged as not citing sources, so I went through and added even more. As it stands, EVERYTHING on that page is cited at least once. I would like the Unreferenced tag removed please.

Clean Up

I did my best to rewrite some of the language in this article because it was all over the place and gramatically incorrect. The only information I removed was the information about rooftop gardens as I felt it was irrelavent to the main article and read more like an article for rooftop gardens.

GPS and Thanks

First off, I am wondering about adding the GPS coordinates for the facility. Now with Google Earth on the iPhone with slick Wikipedia integration, I'd like this page to be able to show up on G.E. but don't have the slightest idea how to add GPS data. Also, I'd like to thank each and every one of you who has improved this page. I made a Sandbox page and then immediately came here and created this, my first page. A lot of the formatting was tough to figure out, but I really think it's so much better now because of you. Anyways, while I'd like to learn how to add the coordinates, here they are for anyone to post: 41°52'32.24"N 87°38'19.57"W

Thanks again, -Brian —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianbobcat (talk • contribs) 07:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Old Chicago Main Post Office Redevelopment

Plan defunct after investor pull-out and intended sale by developer. Dhartung | Talk 20:42, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support: This never seemed to be a serious enough proposal to merit its own article after folding. It may even go too far in depth as it is for being so preliminary. B137 (talk) 23:31, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merger done. I semi-boldly just went ahead and merged the two articles (merged redevelopment article into building article). The building has been in world news in recent days from its sale by Bill Davies and then from Bill Davies' death a day later, and now there are new redevelopment plans in the works, and the articles did not yet any of this reflect this, so some development was urgent. Also the redevelopment article's length was comparable to the coverage already in the building article. Note this merger still leaves separate the Old Chicago Main Post Office Twin Towers, about the super-tall skyscraper in the proposed redevelopment. That article can appropriately carry the categories for skyscrapers that were in the redevelopment article. Assistance improving this merged article would be welcomed. --do ncr am 02:38, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
