Talk:Elizabeth Park (Michigan)

Recent re-edits
I made a series of changes to the article after some unexplained edits were made by another user. While this is not my article, nor do I waste time in edit wars, I will do what's supposed to be done and explain my recent edits. I'm open to other suggestions and modifications, but let's try to keep things to a level of linguistic professionalism and conformity to article standards. I didn't do a complete reverting to remove all the edits by another user, but here's what I changed back and why:  —  ♣  №tǒŖïøŭş  4lĭfė   ♫   ♪  04:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Reinserting File:ElizabethParkEntrance.png to the infobox. I'm not sure why this was removed, because the infobox is designed to accommodate such pictures.
 * 2) Removed overlinking of Detroit River in the introduction. It was linked a second time and only needs to be linked once within the short, two-paragraph introduction.
 * 3) Removed the definitive article the from appearing before Monguagon Township. We don't use articles before the names of most geographic locations (of course, there are exceptions but not in this case).  We don't say the Shelby Township or the Frenchtown Charter Township.
 * 4) Reinserting metric system measurements in all cases applicable. Whenever an American system measurement is used, the metric equivalent needs to be used as well to accommodate the 95% of the world that doesn't use our measurements (use the metric system too).  The reinserted metric unit appeared in three miles (4.8 km).
 * 5) Improper pronoun usage in one of the sentences: "His built his large..." back to "He built his large..."
 * 6) Reinsertion of two categories: Category:Protected areas established in 1919 and Category:Parks in Michigan. I'm not sure why these were removed since Elizabeth Park qualifies for both categories.  Even though the park is just a county-level park and not of the importance of a state or national park, it is still a "protected area" and is surely a "park" in Michigan.  Removal of the Category:Artificial islands is a gray-area since Elizabeth Park doesn't necessarily fall under the definition of such, and I didn't reinsert that category.
