Talk:Frenchtown Charter Township, Michigan

Map change
I changed the map shown in the infobox, because it inaccurately depicted the actual city of Monroe as being part of Frenchtown Charter Township. The two are administered seperately. The one I added is a modified version of the other county picture used for cities and other communities. Compare the two versions below:



Also, with the image on the right used in the infobox, the infobox itself can be condensed to exclude a full version map of Michigan showing the charter township’s location within the state. I live in the charter township, and I plan to find sources to expand this article. — №tǒŖïøŭş 4lĭfė   ♫   ♪  (21:11, 10 September 2009 (UTC))

Minor edits
No portion of Frenchtown Charter Township is currently within the 48161 zip code. 48161 is for the area lying south of the River Raisin, while 48162 is for everything north of the river. It's been like that since 48162 broke off from 48161 many years ago. No portion of Frenchtown lies south of the River Raisin, although the river does serve as a boundary at some points from the city limits of Monroe and Monroe Charter Township.

Also, I fail to see the reason why the label needs to be applied to the pushpin mark in the infobox. I don't even know why that Michigan map even needs to be included; it's a little redundant since the county picture (see above) also has a Michigan map. The reason I don't think the label should be applied is because (due to the pushpins southern location on the map) the label text falls down far off the map into the caption below. If it's "standard" for the map to have a label, then I disagree, because it makes the infobox look crowded and unorganized. I'm not going to argue against the potentially thousands of articles that are like that, but the text doesn't need to be there. —Notorious4life (talk) 23:43, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't particularly care about the pushpin map, although I think it provides better context for the location vis a vis the country (rather than only Michigan). Your edit removed 48162, which seems contrary to what you write above. It is odd that 48161, which has the name Frenchtown, actually does not include any of the township and that 48162, which does serve the township, is named Monroe. Perhaps that should be noted in the article. older ≠ wiser 02:13, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing out my error. I did erroneously removed 48162 instead of 48161. I guess I didn't preview it enough.  As far as the zip code discrepancy, I'm still looking into that.  I live in 48162 and it's commonly known that the river is the boundary (in which no portion of Frenchtown lies south of the river), but I will try to locate non-colloquial sources on that and work it into the article. In fact, I'm not even sure 48166 is within Frenchtown since only a tiny portion of the surrounding Newport area is in Frenchtown, while most is in Berlin. I won't look to include a massive section in the article about zip codes, but I will try to find the accurate information. —Notorious4life (talk) 19:51, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
