Talk:Southeast Michigan

message: Does anybody else agree that the external links are a little irrelevant?  Why is it important to know where ALL Michigan Lighthouses are on the Southeast Michigan page?  Jasonaltenburg (talk) 16:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. There is too much weight on the lighthouses for an article ostensibly on the broad topic of Southeast Michigan. I don't agree with the below argument that this is "needed information" - perhaps on an article about Michigan lighthouses, yes. This article, no. As with my Flint comment below, I'll wait a day or so for additional comments, and then prune it back to the most broad, relevant one or two external links. Tan  |  39 22:11, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Dear Jason:
The answer to your question is that the links are overbroad, but they do supply needed information.  In fact, they do it in a better form than any articles in Wiki.  There is no comparable website that lists southeast Michgian lighthouses, and doeds so with tehd aquality that is available in those cites.  The map on the USCG is interactive and very useful.  Terry Pepper has the best information on individual lighthouses.  So you question is answered yes, but your conclusion (if it is to delete the links) would not be in the best interest of our esteemed readers.  I wanted to err on the side of too much of the irrelevnt, rather than too little of the relevant.  Of course, you could do a really boffo article on Southeast Michigan lighthouses.  That's my opinion, FWIW.  7&6=thirteen (talk) 18:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Regions

message: This phrase is in the Geography section - "Flint's MSA ranks 106th with a population of 443,883..." - I don't know why this is there, sandwiched between the stats of two cities which are in the area of relevance. Flint is not in Southeast Michigan, as defined within the article. I welcome comments; if no one objects in a day or two, I'll remove this phrase. Tan  |  39 22:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The following sentence was added here:  "Michigan Public Radio is broadcast locally from Ann Arbor on WUOM 91.7 FM and from Detroit on WDET 101.9 FM."  This is not accurate as written.  WUOM is one of three stations programmed by Michigan Radio.  Both WDET-FM and Michigan Radio air some programs from NPR, the Michigan Public Radio Network and other networks along with locally-produced programs.  The Michigan Public Radio Network is a consortium of 10 licensed public broadcasters that include the two mentioned above as well as others in Southeast Michigan such as WKAR-FM and WEMU-FM.
There is no entity called simply "Michigan Public Radio".  Please clarify. --Thomprod (talk) 18:33, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Hey, since Southeast Michigan is a region, shouldn't the "geography" section focus on the different county definitions of the area as opposed to focusing on the smaller municipal governments?  It make more sense to put more emphasis on counties instead of the long-list of cities.  SEMCOG is kind of the definitive/official defintion of the region. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:32, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
