Editing Chicago Loop (section)

===Etymology===
The origin of the name "the Loop" is disputed. Some sources claim it first referred to two [[Cable car (railway)|cable car]] lines that used a circuit—constructed in 1882 and bounded by Van Buren Street, Wabash Avenue, [[Wells Street (Chicago)|Wells Street]], and [[Lake Street (Chicago)|Lake Street]]—to enter and depart the downtown area.<ref name="Encyclopedia">{{cite encyclopedia|encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Chicago|publisher=Chicago Historical Society|url=http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/764.html|title=The Loop|last=Danzer|first=Gerald A.|access-date=July 21, 2013|archive-date=March 3, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080303193616/http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/764.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Cable Cars">{{cite web |last1=Thompson |first1=Joe |title=Cable Car Lines in Chicago |url=http://www.cable-car-guy.com/html/ccchi.html |publisher=The Cable Car Home Page |access-date=16 January 2020 |archive-date=January 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126170326/http://www.cable-car-guy.com/html/ccchi.html |url-status=live }}</ref>  Other research, however, has concluded that "the Loop" was not used as a proper noun until after the 1895–97 construction of the [[The Loop (CTA)|Union Loop]] used by [[Chicago 'L'|'L']] trains, which shared the same route.<ref>{{cite news|first=Patrick T.|last=Reardon|title=It all starts downtown|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2004/07/26/it-all-starts-downtown/|work=[[Chicago Tribune]]|date=2004-07-26|access-date=2016-12-17|archive-date=June 26, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180626054732/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-07-26/features/0407260184_1_south-loop-cable-cars-chicago-transit-authority|url-status=live}}</ref>
