I don't know whether all of these nicknames should be used, if the name is only used in one source.
2/4/06 - "The White City" isn't a nickname for Chicago.  The name only refers to Jackson Park, where the World Columbian Exhibition took place, specifically referring to the white Grecian building structures in the complex.  Just as the majority of the buildings are gone (save one), the name "The White City" has also disappeared from the Chicagoan vernacular.

message: Who keeps putting IPA symbols into regular ass articles? Newsflash: Nobody reads that bullshit. I wanted to find out how to pronounce "chi-town" and all I got was a bunch of gibberish. Fucking worthless nerds.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.232.210.85 (talk) 15:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems that the IPA symbols are somewhat of a standard for Wikipedia: Help:Pronunciation. Sounds also like its standard for English dictionaries outside the U.S: IPA#Use in dictionaries. If you want a different standard, perhaps choose one from Pronunciation respelling for English and convince the powers that be why it's better. In a world of nerds, the non-nerds are the nerds... er, or something like that. 69.95.235.254 (talk) 17:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Since 25 April 2005 there have been a number of incorrect IPA transcriptions of the various pronunciations of Chi-town. They were first added here: 
.  Most of these were incorrect, and I've corrected them. There still might be a case for putting a non-IPA transcription next to them. Interlingua 21:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: "Second City" does not refer to the size of Chicago, that is(was) merely a coincidence.  Instead, it refers to the Great
Chicago Fire of 1871, when a large portion of the city was destroyed.  Since rebuilding the damaged areas, Chicago took on 
the nickname "Second City."  12.226.13.207 (talk) 21:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not an actual nickname, but only someone's private "musings", as mentioned in an article in the Chicago History Journal. So, I've removed it. Flatterworld (talk) 19:59, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I can't find this as a phrase, except (unfortunately) in articles that probably used this page as a source.
I've split this to the two separate nicknames, "Da Chi" and "The 'Go", as it seems to be confusing people.
