Talk:List of city nicknames in Illinois

Untitled

Shampoo-Banana? No one from Central Illinois says that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.24.142.128 (talk) 07:15, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I re-added Prison City, a very widely known nickname for Joliet, and included a reference. Someone had deleted it, likely because it is not a flattering nickname. Albeit not flattering, this page is a list of nicknames for Illinois cities, and as a Joliet native I can say the name is not only used by residents but is known widely across the country, probably more so than The City of Champions, for instance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soco 79 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 28 October 2011‎ (UTC)

Thanks for helping to build the encyclopedia. I have removed your citation to urbandictionary.com and added a "citation needed" template, because urbandictionary is not a reliable source. As for "City of Champions," please note that the list is not limited to current nicknames, but includes historical nicknames that are documented by reliable sources.

Finally, "Shampoo-Banana" is reliably sourced and it appears widely on the internet... --Orlady (talk) 14:19, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much for updating my entry, Orlady. - BTW, I only mentioned and drew the comparison with "City of Champions" not to suggest it be deleted because it was a less popular, nor should it be deleted at all - as you said, it has reliable references, but it was to point out that "Prison City," which had once been deleted, belongs in the list just as much as a (for instance) less popular nickname such as City of Champions, and my guess was that it was deleted by someone who simply didn't like the name. Thanks again! It also seems that someone has added a reference for Prison City... thanks! --Soco 79 —Preceding undated comment added 17:19, 31 October 2011 (UTC).

Skokie

Silicon Valley of the Midwest for Skokie is given without a reference.  When I looked at the Skokie Wikipedia page, I could not find the word silicon, nor did I notice anything about high-tech industry. Kdammers (talk) 05:04, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
