Talk:Dearborn, Michigan

message: Many of these people listed as Dearborn natives are noted as being born elsewhere if you look at their individual wikipedia articles. Cyberdrip (talk) 20:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Four have articles that say Dearborn. Three of the others say Detroit which is often used instead of the actual city in the Metro Detroit area so it may be correct to include them here. Two of the articles don't list a city at all. And one specifics a small city in the Metro Detroit area or possibly another city further away, it doesn't specify which. I think it would be best to leave them until someone locates a primary source to check the cities. CCWorld 00:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dearborn natives? 

message: There is a reference in the article to "de facto segregation". Does this mean to say "de facto exclusion of Blacks"? There was nothing notable at all about segregation (races living in separate parts of town) in a Northern U.S. city up to the 1960s (and it's really not all that uncommon even today), but complete or near-complete exclusion would be notable. I ask because someone has added Dearborn to sundown town saying to see the article, which I did, and it doesn't really say this. Nor, as far as I can see does it provide a citation. - Jmabel | Talk 23:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Segregation and Anti-Semitism

message: Does anyone known what sources were used for the historical timeline? Just curious because the timeline states that Greenfield Township annexed part of Springwells Township and then vice versa a few years later. This sound very odd because, AFAIK, it is not possible for a township to annex land from another township. Townships are not incorporated muncipalities and do not have the power to annex land -- their boundaries are determined, first by the state and secondarily by the county. It might perhaps be possible that state or county authorities adjusted the boundaries of the townships, but I would be extremely interested in any verifiable sources that indicate the townships "annexed" land from another township. older ≠ wiser 00:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure what the editors used, but the Dearborn Historical Society usually has a display at Dearborn Homecoming, a summer festival, and I think the info matches. Originally, Springwells Township was huge, I think it included Redford Township. It was divided, obviously, perhaps by survey township guidelines and incorporation, until the last remnants of Dearborn Township incorporated as Dearborn Heights. MMetro 08:25, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  sources for timeline? 

message: The article would be better if more items from the timelines were incorporated into narrative. There are too many details.--Parkwells (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikipedia prefers narrative to lists

message: Removed the line "In January 2005, a new Arab American National Museum opened to mark the ethnic group's history and contributions to this country." Arabs offer no contributions to this society in any way, shape, or form. If this is incorrect, which it isn't, please cite your sources.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by CBrandt1337 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Arabs Don't Contribute 

message: This line is without a source, and seems blatantly racist:  The Arab American population has settled primarily on the city's eastern side, though in recent years it has expanded west. This has been dubbed by local westerners as the "Brown Plague".
Unless it has a citation, it should be removed. As stated in the post above me, racism is not allowed on Wikipedia. 166.205.7.19 (talk) 20:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Christians Arrested

message: with the new events that occurred today involving terry jones' imprisonment and the protest controversy, I expanded the short section on the religious free speech controversies with additional citations to the actual videos and news reports about the goings-on.  I also added a short section on the controversy concerning Terry Jones, citing the detroit news article for the information.  due to this addition, I made a subheading under "popular culture", where the original info had been.  If there are any qualms about the sources or violations of the npov wikipedia policy, please discuss them here, as I am sure that there will be additional controversy over these events in the future, and would prefer not to have to request that the page be locked due to a editing war by biased third parties.

replies: text: Suggestion a new page should be added dealing with the Free speach issue.  I see nothing was said about the assults of water bottles, pop cans and stones
--OxAO (talk) 02:40, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

text: Thank you for cleaning up the formatting in this section and removing the unsourced first bullet.  I corrected Angle's home state (Nevada, not Texas), and corrected the original "peace bond" amount demanded by the local government ($45k not $1).  I feel that your edits are mildly POV, in that they attempt to whitewash the scenario and in that they introduce negative statements about the parties affiliated with Jones that are irrelevant to the point of the section, but I did not substantially alter them.  I reintroduced one or two minor things, like the note about why the "peace bond" was demanded by the Dearborn government (the crux of the whole controversy), that are important to understanding the main point of the section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phd jp (talk • contribs) 10:31, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

message: An editor keeps removing mention of this Dearborn business based on the reasoning "I don't want it here". Considering that this business has it own referenced Wikipedia article and is quite a large bank, I feel that it should be mentioned in the business section here.

message: 1. Please add a link from the word "Springwells" to Springwells_Township, i.e. Springwells. 2. A new page should be created for defunct Dearborn Township, probably named Dearborn_Township,_Michigan similar in format to the Greenfield_Township,_Michigan page. 3. At "... the American Revolutionary War.[8] The village of Dearbornville was established in 1836 ...." change to "... the American Revolutionary War.[8] Population growth led to Dearborn Township being formed in 1833 and the village of Dearbornville within it being established in 1836...."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.169.223 (talk) 21:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
