message: More and more photos and charts have been added to this article over the last several years, giving it an increasingly cluttered look that makes it difficult to read and comprehend, particularly for people with visual impairments. At least several of these chart and image additions violate Wikipedia's Manual of Style/Accessibility standards which urge editors to "Avoid placing images on the left hand side as a consistent left hand margin makes reading easier" and "Avoid sandwiching text between two images or, unless absolutely necessary, using fixed image sizes." At this point, at least one of the charts needs to be fixed or removed because it actually covers existing text. In addition, several images need to be removed or repositioned in order to bring the article back into compliance with the MOS and make it more accessible for Wikipedia users with visual impairments. 47thPennVols (talk) 04:25, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

It may be possible that the cities have annexed a small portion of land in Clinton, but I do not think anyone thinks of either city as being in Clinton County.

You reverted an update on this county page w/o reason. I am re-installing it, because many small communities need to be added, the county officials need to be updated, and several small cleanups should be made to the article. You said the update was NOT standard format. Unfortunately, there is no one "standard", but the revised layout is in conformance with most other Indiana county layouts.

Talk:Ogemaw County, Michigan

message: Named after Ogemaw-ki-keto, a prominent Saginaw Valley Indian chief who signed the Treaty of 1819. "Ogima" in Ottawa or Ojibwa is "chief" or "boss.  That was the most specific of the four or five sources, and is from the Michigan History, Arts and letters website that is cited in the article.  All the other sources say it is simply from the Ojibwe word for "Chief" "Leader" or "Boss"  That includes the Clarke Historical Library.  Take a look at List of Michigan county name etymologies and all the sources that are cited in that article.
Here are some of the sources from that article.
* Clarke Historical Library, Central Michigan University, Bibliography Ogemaw County.
* "Michigan Counties" from the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries
* Freelang Ojibwe Dictionary.
The other Wikipedia article List of Michigan counties doesn't have a meaning.
Here's a book that says Ogemaw means "Chief" in  the Ojibwe language: http://books.google.com/books?id=T5d5wS7so14C&pg=PA87&dq=vogel+virgil+j++ogemaw&sig=NF2YArfQxsEWOg0b0Hi2Wb466fc
Vogel, Virgil J. Indian Names in Michigan. (Ann Arbor, University of Michigan Press, 1986). 244 pgs. 8 B&W photographs & 3 maps. (1986) . p. 87.
It notes that it is a common name in Michigan, giving a great many geographic examples. 
In short, I can't find anything that suggests even remotely that Ogemaw is the name of an Indian tribe.
