Talk:Elk Grove Village, Illinois

Overhaul Coming
I'm planning on overhauling this page -- it's in desperate need.

The page will be split into the following sections:

History - Proposed Bears Stadium - Other controversies

Demographics

Culture

Education

Recreation - (Links to Ned Brown Preserve and Elk Grove Park District)

 * Go for it. This page needs to be revamped. I think it's full of information but not very well formatted. --Briguy9876 (talk) 18:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Dave Cullen [citation needed]
I'm (essentially) new to editing so I'm not sure exactly what to do. I know for a fact that he was born and raised in Elk Grove Village (he is my uncle), but what should I do to cite that here (or anything other information that needs to be cited)?

Does this count?

Hello, I've just added a handful of much-needed citations. Dec 22, 2018.Michael E Nolan (talk) 01:27, 23 December 2018 (UTC)Michael E Nolan

To-do items
Jotting down a few things I think should be done but not sure how to approach just yet:


 * mention that the village is often colloquially known as just "Elk Grove"
 * skim this page for any interesting points that aren't already included
 * add links to municipal incorporating documents from the Cook County website (wherein interestingly the "Elk Grove" shorthand may have first been mentioned)
 * other sources
 * general copyedit/rewrite of more sections
 * updates with new census data

Not sure how many watchers will see this but if anyone wants to tackle these before I get around to them, feel free to do so! Paradox society  20:35, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
