Diagnal

Ok, here again I see the work on this article, but that template down below is wrong. As I stated here Template talk:Streets in Chicago, there is no such thing as a diagnal street. It is either north-south or east-west, and even this article confirms it by saying north-south road. Then down below you have in the template that it is a "diagnal" road. Diagnal to what? I think that again, the template is being too Chicagocentric and should be fixed to reflect anyone who is going to use the article. That is just my suggestion, but you all can do as you with.--Kranar drogin 10:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Auto Peer Review

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.^[?]
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 17:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

GA Review

This article is well written and sourced, and a very interesting read. After a few minor changes, it meets the Good Article criteria, and will be listed. It might still help to have a map or diagram of the street's layout in relation to some of the cross streets nearby. But overall, excellent work! Dr. Cash 06:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect info

The first part of the 'Geography' section is incorrect. It currently states:

Rush Street runs partly north–south and partly in a north-northwest direction (see map in external links). It runs north–south at 65 east from 401 south at Kinzie to 800 north at Chicago Avenue between Michigan Avenue to the east at 100 east and Wabash Avenue to the west at 44 east.

It should read:

Rush Street runs partly north-south and partly in a north-northwest direction (see map in external links). It runs north-south at 65 east from 400 north at its southern terminus at Kinzie Avenue to 800 north at Chicago Avenue between Michigan Avenue to the east at 100 east and Wabash Avenue to the west at 44 east.

Rush Street does not extend to 400 (or 401) south on the Chicago address grid. This would extend Rush Street to East Van Buren Street. Hence, there is no South Rush Street, only North Rush Street. I've made the appropriate fix to the article. CaponeX (talk) 05:08, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
