Gorgeous
This article is 1000% better. Sorry I'm not around to contribute more. Great job guys! TheQuandry 02:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Good article. One question:is it necessary to have a parenthetical "park" in the article title? Is there a Washington Park that I missed in the article that is not a park in Chicago. Otherwise, well-written and referenced.Reddyrov
 * Scratch that. I found it.Reddyrov

Requested move
It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved.--Stemonitis 14:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Washington Park (Chicago park) → Washington Park, Chicago (park) — Page was moved from this name without discussion. This name conforms to other park names (see for example Washington Park (disambiguation)). TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 02:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Survey - in support of the move

 * 1) Support I believe that the page move was an incorrect one. I believe the page name should follow the convention at given the general convention at Washington Park (disambiguation) for community areas and parks.  The page should be returned to Washington Park, Chicago (park), which is now a redirect. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 02:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Support Move it back for the sake of consistency with the other Washington Park pages at the disambig page. It's just better that way. TheQuandry 04:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Survey - in opposition to the move

 * 1) Oppose There's a fairly strong established practice of putting the city in parentheses for parks which need disambiguation; see Category:Parks in Manhattan, and more generally Category:Parks in the United States, for examples. It also helps readers distinguish between neighborhoods named Washington Park (which use a comma) and parks having the same name (which would use parentheses). MisfitToys 02:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply Category:Parks in the United States is in your favor 3-2, Category:Parks in Chicago is 4-4 excluding the one in question and Category:Parks in Manhattan is 7-1 in your favor. You may be right.  I will see where consensus goes.  There may be an applicable policy page that someone knows about. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 03:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) Oppose - the "name, city" form is completely nonstandard. --Yath 04:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose - Per Yath and MisfitToys, the park should follow conventions of other parks where possible. There could be naming conventions of some sort at WikiProject Protected Areas that could possibly be transferred to regular old parks. Nearly every specific locale, that needs a more descriptive title, seems to follow the convention which puts the place name in the parenthetical.A mcmurray (talk • contribs) 04:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
