WP:LEAD

~~It seems to me that one of the most important things about this subject is it becoming a NHL and NHRP. These dates should be in the LEAD.~~--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 03:07, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. Magic♪piano 16:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The lead almost makes it seem like he used it as a summer retreat.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 02:23, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I've rephrased that part. Magic♪piano 17:17, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History

~~The second sentence is very convoluted in the sense that who seems to refer to family.~~--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 03:13, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reworded. Magic♪piano 16:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Why does the LEAD mention use as a summer retreat that is omited in the main body?~~--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 03:13, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "Du Bois developed plans to transform the property into a middle-class summer retreat,..." Magic♪piano 15:47, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to produce a map of this sight.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 03:39, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't believe I've seen a map of the grounds, although I might be able to reproduce one in Inkscape based on an annotated aerial photo in one of the sources. Magic♪piano 14:43, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - That would be helpful.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 02:18, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Added a site map. Magic♪piano 17:17, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All three images and WP:CAPTIONs are fine.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 03:39, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am putting this on hold. The issues are minor.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 03:46, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
