Does merging Union Stock Yard Gate into Union Stock Yards seem sensible to others?
Thoughts? ChicagoPimp 17:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
This week I think a viable DYK factoid would be "DYK that into the early 1900s and peaking in 1924, more meat was processed at Union Stock Yards than in any other place in the world." TonyTheTiger ( talk/ cont/ bio) 17:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Given the extent of the article at the start of the CHICOTW period, we have to be sure to make extensive changes to be eligible for DYK. TonyTheTiger ( talk/ cont/ bio) 19:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
The historic stockyards were also the inspiration for the naming of the Chicago Bulls NBA basketball team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.65.140.36 ( talk) 19:45, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
The article states, "By 1900, the 475 acre stockyard contained 50 miles of road, and had 130 miles of track along its perimeter.[6] At its largest size of 475 acres, The Yards covered nearly a square mile of land, from Halsted to Ashland and 39th to 47th Streets"
If the largest size was 475 acres, why is it mentioned twice? Or was it even larger? Also, a square mile is 640 acres, so 475 acres comes up about three-fourths of that. If someone could clarify those acreages, then I'd be ready to pass this article for GA. -- Elkman (Elkspeak) 23:27, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Now that the 475 acre versus one square mile issue is resolved, I'm giving this the Good Article stamp. It's well-written and comprehensive and tells the complete history of the stockyards. -- Elkman (Elkspeak) 18:48, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
How did this compare with other stockyards in Chicago, assuming there were any others? How many animals were slaughtered here over its entire history? These facts, if known, should be in the article. Thanks. howcheng { chat} 18:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
i was wondering that did anyone died from working too hard or so for the union stock yards? —Preceding
