In celebration of the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial, more than 3500 licensed Architects from throughout Illinois were asked to select the State's 200 most important architectural places, dating from the earliest prehistoric settlements to the most modern designs and structures; based on its unique spaces with their "splendid sense of light, and of lightness", <ref>{{cite news|last=Goldberger|first=Paul|title=ARCHITECTURE VIEW; AN AIR TERMINAL INSPIRED BY THE TRAIN STATION|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/23/arts/architecture-view-an-air-terminal-inspired-by-the-train-station.htm/|accessdate=23 August 2018|newspaper=New York Times|date=August 23, 1987}}</ref> the United Airlines Terminal at O’Hare was selected as one of these Illinois 200 Great Places <ref>{{cite news|last=Waldinger|first=Mike|title=The proud history of architecture in Illinois|url=https://springfieldbusinessjournal.com/2018/01/the-proud-history-of-architecture-in-illinois/|accessdate=30 January 2018|newspaper=Springfield Business Journal|date=January 30, 2018}}</ref> by the [[American Institute of Architects]] Illinois component (AIA Illinois). |

@Funarchitect As a contributor to this page that has struggled to help provide a consistent voice, I hope you don't mind my chiming in. |
|||
I believe this is an excessive amount of detail that doesn't serve O'Hare well. (As trivial as it sounds, if you boost the Terminal 1 coverage, an equal amount dedicated to Terminal 3 will magically appear.) This section, in particular, is dealing with the progress of the airport in the 1980s. Current architectural recognition, right before returning to construction on Terminal 3 in the 1980s, is abrupt and IMO misplaced in this section. |
|||
Further, I sincerely do not mean offense to AIA Illinois or to you, but this is, at best, trivial praise. "One of 200", as @Magnolia677 pointed out? And why is this list any more important than, say, the [[Chicago Architecture Foundation|CAF]]'s? In an effort to provide context, a quick Google search turned up the AIA (''in toto'') naming it "one of the best ten works of American architecture completed since 1980." That exceedingly impressive award isn't in there (maybe should be), but none of the architectural awards it, Terminal 5, and the CTA station have racked up are listed, simply because we're always struggling to keep this an introductory article and not meant to function as the Encyclopedia of O'Hare. |

Get rid of United Express in destination table?
I believe this settled the matter. However, there is one editor, unnamed for now, that, if we listen to him/her, United Express in the destination table of this article would be merged with United Airlines. If that happens, you won't know if an airport/city is served by United or United Express specifically. (That editor wants to do it on another airport but, if we listen to him, O'Hare could be in danger) I bring it up because many wise editors read O'Hare but few read smaller airport articles.
Should this change be made? (wipe out United Express)Aerostar3 (talk) 06:09, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- After more than a week of assessing for opinions, I will test edit the United Express table to see how it looks like. Also see the RFC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports#RFC_Destinations%3A_United_Express_and_United%2C_like_it_currently_is%2C_or_no_standard_way_is_ok Aerostar3 (talk) 03:31, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
There has been no change in Wikipedia policy. You (Rubber Ducky/Aerostar3/Blissfield101, allegedly) are performing edits while referring to an RfC that "received" 16 votes, of which 9 supported the position. This is hardly a consensus; the most important thing is to broaden the scope of respondents to determine, if possible, what method works best for the average reader. Isn't that what is most important? I understand you have a position on this, but you have not convinced the rest of the editors, and this is a community. Chidino (talk) 06:14, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
"Ohare" listed at Redirects for discussion
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Ohare. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 December 1#Ohare until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. Conifer (talk) 21:22, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
A notable fact
O'Hare currently has the most number of runways of any civilian airport. While I added this fact in the article, I was considering working it into the introduction. I feel like it's a pretty notable fact to include in the lead. Thoughts? Apoorv Chauhan (talk) 08:38, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Why no terminal 4?
Why doesn't this airport have terminal 4? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clrichey (talk • contribs) 01:43, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Pax to NY?
The article says New York isn't in the top 10 domestic destinations from O'Hare. Think that's true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.154.246.155 (talk) 20:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
