message: Asher196 : "WNEM is based in Saginaw and Flint:WBSF is based in Clio. "
:The FCC page list the tower for WNEM being at 
:N 43° 28' 14.0"	  W 83°	50' 36.0"
:and bay city is at 
:N 43° 35′ 42.18″  W 83° 53′ 19.1″ .(about 7'North 3'West of the tower)
:Since Saginaw and Flint coordinates are
:N 43°  0′ 36″     W 83° 41′ 24″,(about 28'South 9'East of the tower)
:Saginaw and Flint are too far south to be the base town.
:WBSF's tower is at
:N 43° 28' 26.75"  W 83° 50' 44.65"
:bay city is about 7'South and 8" East of the tower.
:and Clio, Michigan is at
:N 43° 10′ 41″     W 83° 44′ 10″(about 18' south 6'East of the tower)
:so Clio, Michigan is too far south as well.

replies: text: I figured out my error. Saginaw's coordinates where listed wrong on the Saginaw, Michigan page. Saginaw is at 43° 25′ 48″ N, 84° 38′ 24″ W.(3'South 12'East if the tower). I fixed the listing on the Saginaw, Michigan page.R00m c (talk) 08:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Information on the Pere Marquette depot, info regarding the National Register of Historic Places in Bay City, and the Renovated State Theatre.  Also, find the date of the opening of the Libery Bridge. Asher196 (talk) 04:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 1975 is when the Third Street bridge collapsed. I am going to guess sometime in 1978-1980 based on design and construction timeframes around here. spryde | talk 17:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Liberty bridge opened around 1990, but I can't find a source for the exact date. Asher196 (talk) 20:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure if this would be a reliable source (therefore I didn't make an edit), but I found the statement "The Liberty Bridge was constructed in 1986 and has an approximate daily traffic count of 20,000 vehicles."    That would imply it opened the same year.--Ballpark frank (talk) 02:53, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I don't think this section should be on the page. Devoting more space to one man's story than the entire city's culture hardly seems encyclopedic. The Marvin Schur story will be forgotten in a relatively short time. WP isn't and shouldn't be a chronicler of current events. 71.236.137.8 (talk) 09:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: People will not allow this to be forgotten; that is why it has been chosen to be memorialize on Bay City's Wikipedia page. This is an event that has garnered national attention and outrage. It is also effecting a societal change and is certainly an event of some historical nature that deserves to be recorded. If you feel that the city's culture section is too short then by all means expand it. But unilaterally deleting a section of article because of you opinion prior to some degree of debate is hardly an appropriate response. Also, please create or log into your Wikipedia account so that you can sign your name to your statements. If you're going to offer a dissenting opinion that's fine. Just don't be afraid to sign your name to it. Mr Schur's death is Bay City's shame to wear.

replies: text: This is sufficiently tragic and reported widely enough that it could be its own page.  It hardly defines Bay City, and at best deserves a passing mention and a wiki link to a Marvin Schur article, which is where it should be moved. Indeed, since we have the article this should be vastly cut down.  7&6=thirteen (talk) 20:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally agree and I removed the section.  While tragic, this is not encyclopedic, period. Asher196 (talk) 04:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

text: The information itself has been properly referenced and is thus separate from any consideration of the deletion of the Marvin Schur page (which was quite properly deleted). Regardless of any desire to forget, ignore, and/or cover up this occurance, it is inarguably a notable event in Bay City's history. If anyone can find a policy statement that supports deletion of referenced material I will be more than happy to remove myself from any reinsertion of this event. 71.192.250.255 (talk) 12:37, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Jason The Michigan Kid Lynch - Professional Billiards Trick Shot Artist, World Jump Champion 2008, ranked 9th in the World 2012 There seems to be quite a bit about him on the web.  I thought the "cn" would be a reasonable compromise until somebody puts in a wp:rs. But I am not devoted enough to dispute this.  7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: We need a reliable source showing that he is notable.--Asher196 (talk) 15:23, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't really help to prove notability.--Asher196 (talk) 18:00, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I was referring to the first two references provided, not the additional ones added after I commented.--Asher196 (talk) 18:41, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't refactor all the links and citations, but I think there is enough there to establish notability, particularly in his part of the world and specialty, IMHO.  We have a newbie editor here, and he/she needs some help. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:46, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

message: Former boxing contender supposedly owns a gym in Bay City and he was known for wearing Tartan in the ring...and it is almost too coincidental with the rock band, the Bay City Rollers who also were known for their tartan; and Sutherland was born in Scotland as well.

message: I feel a shot of three stores on Midland St. and the marina isn't really representative of Bay City as a whole. A better shot might be a view of the downtown area from Veterans Park across the river, especially with all the new construction at Uptown.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.51.154 (talk) 16:55, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
