History
[edit]Are there any sources that can be cited? Some of these claims seem dubious. For example, "The 1926 International Eucharist Conference held at the seminary hosted an estimated 500,000 people (the village population at the time was 500 people)." Half a million people attended the seminary in 1926? That seems a bit far fetched. --JRavn 20:21, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- That fact is straight out of the village "official" history, compiled by the village. I have posted a reference link to the history page at the village website. (Terryn3 04:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC))
- The seminary was a big deal at the time. The town even changed its name after Cardinal Mundelein. Jedi6-(need help?) 04:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- I remember the media discussing the Breeders' Cup in 2002 at Arlington Heights being one of the biggest crowds in the history of the suburbs, second only to that 1926 conference. Greytones72 17:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Demographics
[edit]The statistics make no sense if everything adds up to over 100%
Why is the hispanic population separated? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.252.221.160 (talk • contribs) .
- Hispanic isn't a race: the question of race is independent from the question of hispanic or not. -GTBacchus(talk) 04:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- I have restored the demographics information. See the demographics information for other towns if there is still confusion. (Terryn3 22:18, 19 May 2006 (UTC))
- The EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) explicitly defines Hispanics as a separate and distinct "race." See Employer Information Report EEO-1 and Standard Form 100, Appendix § 4, Race/Ethnic Identification, 1 Empl. Prac. Guide (CCH) § 1881, (1981), 1625. http://www.eeoc.gov/stats/jobpat/e1instruct.html
- That's completely irrelevant here. This reports the demographics data of the census of 2000, and the original numbers are the census data. (Terryn3 22:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC))
References in history
[edit]This section has several old, or ill-defined references. The seminary has a history page at https://usml.edu/about/history/ but it doesn't address the land disposition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timwarner (talk • contribs) 17:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
Top Employers
[edit]The reference used for this list of top employers for the city links to a report from the city of Douglasville, Georgia. Doesn't seem to be related or have any info on Mundelein, IL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomahennessey (talk • contribs) 18:58, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- Resolved issue. Updated list based on 2017 report. Updated reference to link to the report. Archer1234 (talk) 03:00, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
