This article is all over the place unfortunately and short on history. If you feel you can improve it, please go ahead and get involved. I have archived the old talk page to help clean this up. Emax0 02:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
The radio,tv and park listings should be removed. Coffeelubber 20:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I added a sentence about pronunciation at the beginning of the article. I'm rather new to editing so I hope I did it okay. I took my cue from the Prescott, Arizona article, but I can try to figure out pronunciation conventions for it. Should I cite a source for pronunciation? Jason P Crowell 20:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I made a couple of minor edits and cleaned up an instance of vandalism. Under the section "Attractions," there was an instance of vandalism regarding the horse slaughter plant. I changed it from "They also have one of the three slaughter houses in the US. Where they shoot stun rods in the horses' brain, then slit the horses' throats, and transport the meat to other countries, like France, Belgain, and Japan." to "Cavel, located in DeKalb, is one of three horse slaughter houses in the US. Due to recent debate in the US Congress and recent court rulings, the future of this and the other slaughter houses is in question." I do believe that Cavel deserves a mention given the high profile of the recent controversy, but the former was obvious vandalism IMHO. The minor edits I made were these: Under the section "Park Facilities" I changed "Ellwood House Museum" to "Ellwood House Museum and Park" to be consistent with what the museum itself has on it's sign. Also, under the heading "history" I changed the description of the genre of the Charles Bronson band to be consistent with their Wiki page. Flauty 17:24, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
This page has seen quite a bit of vandalism of late. Perhaps it should be locked to unregistered users or whatever. A mcmurray 18:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I think that Star Worlds Arcade should be recognized on this wikipedia page without getting deleted due to the fact that it is one of the last-surviving retro arcades and is also an attraction to those who are not from DeKalb. JazzButcher 06:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
This is called building consensus. : )

hello. ive left this message on A mcmurray's discussion page and, since you are now a part of this, decided to leave it on yours as well. I still fail to realize how this does not qualify as an attraction... It is something that is out-of-the-ordinary and is hard to come by (well, at least it is for me seeing as how this arcade is the only one of it's kind within hundreds of miles of my location). I can see how it isn't a landmark, but the original category title wasn't just about landmarks, it was about points of interest/attractions as well. Now please, if you wish to get back into this debate that you have started, explain why this would not qualify as an attraction even with 2 different articles about it published. thank you.

Image:Dekalblogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
In the second paragraph of History, the grammar is really messed up. I'm not sure what it should be, but someone should fix it. Jumper4677 ( talk) 14:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Pianos were made by a local company that was bought by Wurlitzer, which continued building instruments at the same place. This is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Wurlitzer. Is this worthy of inclusion? https://archon.lib.niu.edu/?p=collections/findingaid&id=169&q= Kdammers ( talk) 09:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
