Talk:Jackson Park (Chicago)

message: Lest anybody think I'm kidding about the feral parakeets, it's true; I didn't believe it either until I saw them myself the other day. They're bright green and red, and look like they'd be more at home in Brazil than Chicago. QuartierLatin 1968 18:18, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll work on it! I've got a disposable camera, and I walk through there every day. I'll keep my eyes open for you. :-) QuartierLatin 1968 18:48, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait, never mind. Other people on the web have had this thought already:    I guess they're not really red -- I thought they had splotches of red around their faces, but the ones in these photos just seem green, white, and yellow. QuartierLatin 1968 18:59, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Parakeets

message: Added an NPOV template to the Intervening Years section.  There are a couple of comments that seem to indicate a resentment of official handling of the park.  I don't know enough about the topic to know if the emotion is warranted, but I'd at least like sources for the claims (see especially the bit about the repair of the Osaka Garden).

thread_title:  NPOV in "Intervening Years" section 

message: Is the park named after Mary Jackson, the donor of the land, or President Andrew Jackson, her cousin? I would like to see an older source, contemporary with the naming if possible. The Chicago Park District is not always to be believed. Speciate 00:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradict - Mary or Andrew?

message: Please compare the section on the worlds fair to the history section at http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks/jackson-park/.  There's considerable overlap in the text.  Phiwum (talk) 14:00, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The Obama Presidential Center (not a library) issue is described without mentioning the controversy in selecting one of three possible locations, or the law suits still being filed by the People for Parks, see here. The text here makes it seem there was no community involvement and no other sites considered, when there were both, and an extensive public discussion with law suits filed.   It took years. - - Prairieplant (talk) 13:02, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
