message: I think that the Traverse City article would benefit from a paragraph or two on the subject of the Cityscape.  An example of such a discussion is at Cadillac, Michigan.  Unfortunately, I do not really have the subject matter expertise to write this intelligently about Traverse City, so I am asking for HELP.
Thanks.

message: I fail to see any content on this page that is non-factual, or that is "puffing up" the city beyond what is true. Nevertheless, I have edited the introduction. If anyone disagrees with the tag removal, please change the offending verbiage rather than slapping on the "ADVERT" tag. --Judolphin (talk) 00:16, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: "ADVERT" Tag Removed

message: The article has this:
Traverse City (pronounced /ˈtrævər ˈsɪti/)
The "S" in Traverse has been dropped.  This is obviously wrong (to me).  OTHO, I am not familiar with the layout of these phonetics, so I hesitate to make the change.  7&6=thirteen (talk) 16:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As a former resident and frequent visitor to Traverse City, I can tell you that many people actually drop the "s" in Traverse and elide it into the soft "c" of City. In effect, the locals make it one word, not two. Imzadi 1979 → 18:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I confirm this colloquial pronunciation description is mostly accurate.  It serves as dialectal identification of how the name is pronounced, but usually IPA pronunciation information is used for translational language bridging, or for intra-lingual reference to standardized language rules.  Just because we locally merge and pronounce the name that way doesn't mean the defined english pronunciation of the word 'Traverse' is different.  Therefore, it may be desirable to identify the pronunciation entry as colloquial to ensure technical accuracy and maintain encyclopedic value, since the english pronunciation of "Traverse City" as /'trævərs 'siti/, or more accurately /trə'vərs 'siti/ (based on the old French, but with little emphasis on the second syllable), is also and officially correct.

thread_title: [[Traverse City]] pronunciation

message: Can someone please explain what a "various population" is?  It reads as though it was written by a bible thumper trying to sound enlightened by mentioning Jews, Unitarians (as Universalists--though some Unitarians consider themselves Christian) and "various" populations.  If we mean that Traverse City has a mosque, Buddhist or Hindu temple, say so.  If we mean that Traverse City (gasp) has agnostics, athiests, Druids and Wiccans, say so.  But no one wants to be referred to as a "various" person.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.123.94 (talk) 02:02, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  If all else fails, just take the section out.  all communities have houses of worship.  To list them all would be a violation of WP:NOTDIR, to only list some would be POV. Gtwfan52 (talk) 07:44, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

message: In the top right corner of the article it says, "From left to right, top to bottom: Traverse City as seen from the Open Space; the former Traverse City State Hospital; the Boardman River flowing under the South Union Street Bridge; the Grand Traverse County Courthouse; the State Theatre"
By my reading, the identification of the State Hospital and the County Courthouse are reversed.  If not, then the captions on the linked fotos are incorrect. Please verify and correct if needed.
