Photos
--I was wondering if someone in Chicago could get an up-to-date photo of the build site, preferably from the west to north-west side. The Tribune Trumpcam gives a pretty limited view. (11/8/06)-- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.28.211.38 (talk • contribs)
- The current lead photo is only a little over a month old. I went past the site today—a new photo would add little to the article at this point. —JeremyA 00:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
# of Photos
JeremyA have hashed over the number of photos in this article for this building in the beginning stages of its construction. We have agreed that we will attempt to limit the gallery to about 12 photos and the article to 2-4 photos. Additional photos should be sent to the commons gallery.

Dirty deals of canceling preconstruction sales
He is voiding many sales contracts of his condo preconstruction sales for his Trump Tower Chicago. He sold units prior to construction to help secure bank financing, and now that units are selling for much more than they did when there was nothing built he wants to cancel the sales because he doesn't want his initial investors to profit. Here are some links to articles about this story.

Fail GA
Not enough references, too many external links, (never thought I'd say it, but:) too many pictures, and finally article is subject to dramatic change once the building is completed. —Disavian (/contribs) 04:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
05.09.07 Edits
I've made some significant edits to the article today. Hopefully, with some work, we can get this article to GA status. I've been a big editor over at the Chicago Spire article, and I've noticed this article has needed work for quite some time. Here's what I've done:
- Added sections - the article only had a few sections, where were IMO quite confusing. I've created new sections which should help the reader understand what is being discussed in that portion of the article or to jump to a desired portion more easily
- Removed pictures - as mentioned for one of the reasons why this article failed GA, we have way too many pictures here. I've removed a lot of them. Unless the text of this article expands, the current gallery and infobox picture will suffice. Be aware that I'm only using pictures in the gallery that showed measurable progress just from looking at thumbnails with a quick glance.
- Added further reading - hopefully readers can look at these references for a background on the building itself, how the building relates to Chicago architecture, and how it relates to other Trump towers.
- Added reference improvement tag - Most of the article is unreferenced. We need more references.
- Converted sales brochure info into prose - this was just a list. I converted it into sentences and used the sales brochure as a reference.
- Restored table of contents - not sure why this was removed, maybe it didn't flow with all the pictures
- Moved gallery to new construction section - It doesn't need its own section. I think it fits nicely with that other text in the construction section.
- Removed some external links per WP:EL - just removed a few links not directly related to the article subject.
Thanks for your help thus far. Future edits adding content and references would be appreciated! Chupper 15:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with the spirit of your changes. However, given the number of images in the text of Chicago Spire I am a bit surprised with your decision to wipe out so many here. I don't actively edit this article much and you can tell it is not on my watch list by how long it took me to notice the pics were gone. If you can turn this into a GA though, have at it.

- Haha, I knew you would mention the number of images in the Chicago Spire article :). A new article has been written for the Chicago Spire. I'll be posting it as soon as actual construction starts on the Spire. Feel free to have a look at it and make changes - it's located at User:Chupper/Sandbox04. Considering the amount of prose on that sandbox article, you'll notice that the image count is way down and I probably need to bring some more pictures into it.
- To get the Trump Chicago article to GA status we'll at least need a lot more prose and additional references. In addition I'll be restoring all those pictures back into the gallery section and maybe 1 or 2 into the main article. Considering WP:MOS and the consensus already established, I realized I removed those images in error. If you want to, go ahead and add those pictures back in. I probably won't be able to get around to it until next week because I'm drowning in finals right now. Chupper 12:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've come across this page again and I've reconsidered my position on the image count. I do feel leaving large amounts of images in the gallery is alright, while not preferred, IMO, however the three images on the left of the article seem to obtrusive, considering the amount of prose this article has. Even if and when this article is expanded, they should be located on the right. When this article loads, readers will be overwhelmed by images. When I read the intro and TOC, I feel like I have to fight just to keep my eyes on the text. Can we move some the three images on the left to the gallery? Or at least move two of the images on the left to the gallery, and move one to the right, further down on the article? Chupper 21:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- The article would have to be a whole lot longer for the images to go on the right because of the infobox. I got a new camera last week. Can you see the improvement in the night time view?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 23:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, the article would need to be a lot longer. Do you understand my concern though, regarding the images on the left? Especially for folks with smaller resolution screens, the left side images are squishing the text in the center making the into very hard to read. How about if we move that night image (yes a good image, does show measurable progress IMO - and jeeeshh... i miss Chicago) to the right side of the article, beneath the infobox and move the other two to the gallery?

Setback Heights
The statement in the article under Architecture:Design "the second setback aligns with the Marina City Towers" is clearly not true now that the second setback has been completed - it's short by atleast 50 feet. 207.229.133.76 18:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Sammy G207.229.133.76 18:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Tribune's Trump cam
The Tribune has a camera on the building and uploads new shots every few minutes. Link: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/specials/chi-trump-htmlpage,0,7270199.htmlpage?coll=chi_business_util I don't know how to insert this into the article without messing up the page. Please do the same if you think it is useful. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.27.242 (talk) 18:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- I added it into the external link section it is very helpful. -Marcusmax 20:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Image placement
Is it just me, or are some images in this article poorly placed squashing the lead paragraphs between images and the infobox? Astronaut (talk) 00:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm with you on that one, it looks a little busy with all the pictures. --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 06:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm at a 1024,768 and the images up in the lead section look terrible, IMO. How would this look as an alternative? Does it look any better with the larger screen resolutions? Chupper (talk) 16:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Revising "Architecture: Restaurant"
Some of the wording in the Architecture section is confusing, non-NPOV and off... a few examples:
although some consider it more of a place to impress clients and dates than a top notch dining experience.
The passageway leads to views of the Wrigley Building clock tower and Tribune Tower's flying buttresses that although not comparable to the Hancock Center's Signature Room are heartstopping.
And that weird sentence about Guy de Maupassant. Sound like they were pulled from articles in the Trib... which they were. Suggesting rewrite.Moushi (talk) 07:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
GA Review
This review is transcluded from Talk:Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. This article has failed the GA nominations due to stability issues that may arise when the building is completed. This article is otherwise well referenced and detailed. If you feel that this review was in error, feel free to take this to WP:GA/R. Thanks. Tarret 16:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
