message: I made two edits to this article before I logged in. It seems the Industry section was filling up with local companies advertising. Someone else may want to keep an eye on this or clean it up more if needed. Acsmith3 12/19/2013  —Preceding undated comment added 19:41, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Please review my 2020 census updates. It required me to remove the 'estimated population' areas as they were outdated. This is my first population/census update on Wikipedia so please let me know if everything looks in order!

thread_title:  City Population update per 2020 census 

message: I have removed the following text from the "Name" section:
 Some local historians have claimed that the origin of the city's name was the Shawnee Indian Chief Elkhart ( 'Elk-heart'), cousin of the famous Chief Tecumseh, and the father of Mishawaka ( 'Elk-woman'), the namesake of neighboring Mishawaka, who they claim moved into the Elkhart area around 1800.
This story has been uncritically repeated in various non-authoritative sources over the years, but I can find no indication that it has ever been taken seriously by any serious historian or onomastician. (Or, for that matter, that the Shawnee ever had any significant presence in the Elkhart area.) The story appears to originate in this 1875 collection of stories by judge and politician Flavius J. Littlejohn, who seems to have amused himself in his retirement by making up Indian stories. (Apart from the novelistic style, one plain indication that Littlejohn is telling something other than history is that he names Pokagon as the leader of the Potawatomi in 1800, a quarter-century before he actually held such a role.)-- Visviva (talk) 06:58, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
