Talk:Washtenaw County, Michigan

message: Could someone make a map showing where the townships in Washtenaw County are?  It's basically a set of 4 squares north-south, 5 squares east-west, for twenty total, if one ignores the city boundaries.  See also here.--Bhuck 09:11, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Except that it would be misleading to ignore city boundaries as cities are independent of townships. What you'd have would show survey township boundaries, but even these do not always correspond to civil township boundaries (which sometimes follow natural features rather than the survey lines -- though that is not the case in Washtenaw). older ≠ wiser 15:47, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Transportation

message: As Phizzy noted three years ago, Redford's coloring is inconsistent with that of the other townships. But whatever fix is implemented, it's going to affect every map for every city and township in the county (except Redford). At the same time, it occurs to me that perhaps the maps for Michigan counties should distinguish between incorporated charter townships and unincorporated general law townships, say, with a patterned screen.
On a different subject, I propose that we add a section to either the article itself or the template Template:Wayne County, Michigan listing the former civil townships. See the article on Cook County, Illinois for an example of how this would look inline; I'm working on the template in my sandbox just for kicks.

thread_title: Untitled

message: No mention of why Polk County looks so odd. The area's historical society once mentioned this. Briefly, per Pennington County, Minnesota:
* Polk County was created in 1858 when the "mega-county" Pembina was sliced up by the new state of Minnesota. Polk was larger than today, and mostly squared-off.
* After ongoing squabbles about certain towns and areas having their interests underrepresented, a big chunk in the middle was gerrymandered out in 1896 and named Red Lake County.
* Despite this secession, the malcontents remained malcontent, and in 1910 RLC was sliced horizontally, the upper portion dubbed Pennington County.
**That Edmund Pennington was at the time president of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad (later the Soo Line Railroad) should not be taken to suggest this partitioning was in any way a sellout to big commerce, of course.
**In any case, that meant that the resultant county seat, Thief River Falls, Minnesota, has been in four counties.

Talk:Oktibbeha County, Mississippi

message: The article claims currently that "Oktibbeha" is derived from a local "Native American" word meaning either "bloody water" or "icy creek". There is first an issue that "Native American" is not a language, I've already added a clarification tag. I tried to resolve the issue myself with some sleuthing, but the source given for the claim pretty much states the same thing. However it does go on to elaborate that the "word"  means "creek", and is the source of  in "Oktibbeha". The source also mentions Choctaw and Chickasaw battles, but doesn't go as far as to imply the county name comes from either of their languages. I thought these extra clues might be helpful in finding the language, and then maybe a better source. I've searched for  and some variant spellings in hopes of finding the actual etymology, and found nothing. I checked Choctaw and Chickasaw language dictionaries and found the words for "creek" which bear little resemblance as far as I can tell. In Choctaw for example I find the word , and Chickasaw has a cognate for this word. I checked a couple of other words related to the "translation" given and the closest I found was that the word for water in both languages (Choctaw ) bears some resemblance to the first syllable of "Oktibbeha".
Now this is WP:OR so I wouldn't add it to the article, but after this trail I am rather suspicious of the source. Toponym etymologies from a "Native American word" are frequently just made up, and there is little to support any of the claims made in the source. I've left what I've found here so that hopefully someone more knowledgeable or with better research skills can use it as a jumping off point to get to the bottom of it.
