Talk:Chicago skyline guide

From Wikitravel

[edit] Exceptions

In my edit, I said "With a few exceptions, virtually all of these buildings are all in the Loop, Near North, and Near South." I only said that in case I had overlooked something, though - are any of these buildings anywhere other than those three areas? Gorilla Jones 09:44, 12 July 2007 (EDT)

You are right, they are all in our Central Chicago districts. As a matter of fact, though, I think that One Museum Park may be the only one in the Near South, although I'm not feeling up to checking that right now. --Peter ^Talk 13:16, 12 July 2007 (EDT)

I didn't see any others, so I rephrased that sentence. Also, the Wikimedia Commons page for the West Side view says it's from the Green Line Ashland station near the UC, not the Orange Line Ashland near Chinatown, so I switched that. Gorilla Jones 20:55, 12 July 2007 (EDT)

[edit] WTP exclusion & ads

My feeling is that this article probably shouldn't go into the printed guidebook, as its format is not particularly well suited. All the same, I think it would be appropriate to add a WTP Chicago ad to this page, as the guidebook would be just as much of interest to a reader of this page as to any of the other pages, although it would not itself appear in the book. --Peter ^Talk 02:58, 6 November 2007 (EST)

No, the panoramas couldn't be used. Is it conceivable, though, that someone would be interested in it (minus the photos) for the sake of the Tall Buildings, Neatly Listed, Organized, and Described? I'd be interested to hear some opinions. Gorilla Jones 00:07, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Perhaps—there is some information in this article that I would like a reader of the book to hear. Some of the more iconic buildings (Smurfit-Stone, Chase Tower, Lake Point Tower, CNA Tower) only get any real mention here. I was thinking of maybe adding them as "see" listings for the Loop, but what I would want to write about them is already in this article :)

Without inclusion of this article, I would want to direct interested readers from the book to here. We'll need to do something with the text of the main article already, as it suggests that readers check out the (not linked in print) skyline guide for more information. Perhaps both the inclusion of information here in the Loop article, and a notification in the book to check out this article for further information, would be doable by way of the {{print only}} and {{web only}} tags? --Peter ^Talk 01:14, 7 November 2007 (EST)
