Support This article was failed due to lack of support without significant opposition. It had little feedback at
WP:PR. I have since added several images which greatly improve the article.--

Comment: I think this article is of a
WP:FA quality, and has improved a bit since the last FAC. However, as I came here to this FAC discussion page by way of a notification on my talk page, I will not bold a "Support" comment, though I think the article is worthy of featured status. Hopefully some other editors will weigh in. Good job expanding the intro.

That is what I think the first FAC discussion said I needed to get this over the hump. I hope we are there now. Thanks for the copy edit.--

Support—It's much improved. Would be nice if it were just a little longer. Surprised there are no hard-copy histories of Chicago in the reference list, which might have provided information with which to couch the background history of P Av. The electronic encyclopedia of Ch. sure is pressed into service, and I'm unsure of the status or credentials of the authors—are they amateur historians, city employees, academics? (For example, Conzen, Michael P. and Douglas Knox.)

The Electronic Encyclopedia of Chicago mirrors the hard copy edition of the Encyclopedia of Chicago in that substantially all the articles are duplicates of the print edition to the best of my knowledge. The work is a joint effort of the
Newberry Library and the
Chicago Historical Society. I have spoken to Knox and I believe he is an employee of the former. I don't know Conzen. The electronic edition has a different set of
acknowledgments than the print edition. However, you can read both that and the
introduction and get a flavor of credentials of the authors. You can also read explicit details of the
staff and consultants as well as the
contributing authors.--

Those are both false positives. Click on them and you go to a valid external page.--
