message: So I've removed a lot of the points of interest I think are most questionable; if anyone objects to the changes I've made, let me know.  Actually, I don't really think that anything currently on there qualifies as a point of interest, so if no one really objects, I'd like to do away with the entire list.

thread_title:  Points of Interest 

message: I removed the entire section because it cited no references and did not really provide
useful information about "business in Okemos".
Tech Smith, creator of SnagIt and Camtasia Studio, comes from Okemos. (But, no longer in Okemos)
So does the medical company Information Health Network. (Lots of businesses in Okemos. This one is noteworthy?)
Okemos has a big AT&T office. (There used to be an AT&T office in Meridian Township. Gone now. Unless you refer
to the Okemos Central Office (telephone switch). Every town has one of those. Not really notable). TRosenbaum 08:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Business in Okemos 

message: I've already admitted my bias that I don't like having a points of interest section at all; to me, it has exactly the same kinds of flaws that trivia lists do.  That said, I'm willing to leave it, provided that we're circumspect about what businesses we're willing to list there.  The Meridian Mall is the only one of the previously listed businesses that strikes me as notable, so I feel that listing any of the others is just free advertising.  If someone wants to argue the point, though, I'm listening.  (But traffic circles?  Come on...)  Masily box 19:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I am unsure if John Hynes should be included in the opening section, especially since Larry Page isn't.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzomtceo (talk • contribs) 21:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Hynes featured in opening section 

message: In the opening section, the "nickname" of Okemos athletics is said to be the chiefs - that is no longer accurate as of 2012, at least in Okemos High School (I don't have a source but I went to school there when the mascot was officially removed).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:405:4400:76CD:212E:E1E9:33BE:7A95 (talk) 18:18, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
