Comments
1.
 * Link incorporation in the lead
 * Link annexation in the lead and first mention in the prose body to Municipal annexation
 * Both done
 * "The site of the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company foundry is scheduled to become a development of single-family homes" - Is an update on this known? The source is from 6 years ago.
 * Not that I could find.
 * Is the paragraph starting with "About three-quarters of the housing stock, 74.9 percent, consists of single-family detached homes." referring to Blue Island Ridge or Washington Heights?
 * Washington Heights, which I've done.
 * Link bungalows at the first mention, not the second
 * Chicago Bridge & Iron Company is a duplink
 * Both done
 * Link the Democratic Party, not going to be obvious to a non-US reader
 * Already linked
 * Link township. It's not a universal governmental level (not even in the US)
 * Done
 * "Post offices are in nearby Auburn Gresham, Roseland, and Morgan Park" - This implies there are no post offices in Washington Heights. Is this accurate, because a post office has been mentioned before?
 * It is; hopefully I've made it clearer.
 * Metra is a duplink
 * Fixed
 * Link the various college degrees
 * Done
 * "It contains 1.8 accessible park acres (0.73 ha) per 1,000 residents, compared to a citywide figure of 2.4 acres (0.97 ha)." - Can we get a total given?
 * Only the per-capita figures are given by the source, sorry.
 * "Part of the Southland Century Bike Network, it was reportedly underutilized in 2016.[92]" - Is there anything more recent for this? The 2016 figures isn't really relevant without anything newer
 * A mural was painted by it in 2018, which I've added.

 * Is ref 35 a reliable source? It looks like Rob Paral's personal website.
 * Paral is a community demographer and statistician, and the site appears to be in a professional capacity. Therefore the source should be counted as reliable.
 * For ref 58, it seems like the fares tab, not the map tab, is the clearer presentation of the information
 * I'm sorry, I don't believe I understand what you mean. (I don't see that tab on the page.)
 * Is The History Press a reliable publisher? I've seen some of their books before, and they have a disclaimer in the front cover stating that the publisher does not guarantee the accuracy of the published information
 * Hmmm, I don't recall seeing that disclaimer, but upon further research Zangs doesn't appear to have the best credentials, although the book was received favorably by local news and appears to be a solid source for information prima facie. I'll see if I can find some better sources for its claims.
 * I couldn't replace it in any of the claims it appears in. It was, however, used authoritatively by noted historian Geoffrey Baer, and it appears to be adequate for the purposes of a local subdivision. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 01:32, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It ought to work for a GA. An FAC may question it though.
 * " "Chicago Multifamily Market Characterization: Developing a Comprehensive Picture of the Multifamily Housing Landscape"" is not working for me, is this a temporary down issue with the website or a dead link?
 * It's not working for me, either. I've added an archive to it.
 * Ref 40 should have the first word capitalized
 * It's not in the original.

3.
 * Were any other indigenous settlers besides the Potawatami?
 * Not that I can find.
 * Would it be worth adding the 2010 Census data to provide a comparison?
 * For population I added a comparison with the 2010 and 2000 Censuses; I don't think it's particularly valuable for any other stuff.
 * Yeah, I was just referring to population. I should have been clearer.
