Talk:McHenry, Illinois

Heart Of The Fox
I phoned the City of Mchenry at 815-363-2100 to discuss the phrase "The Heart Of The Fox", which appears on their water tower and on their website. I asked if it's a motto, slogan, nickname, etc, in order to give it the right designation in the Geobox  I was told it's a "Motto". But to me, a motto is a phrase which carries some action or attitude. This phrase sounds more like a "description". I know this may seem ultra-detailed, but this is an encylopedia, which is all about excruciating detail. I designated it as "Nickname" for the time being. Please offer thoughts and opinions on this matter. Cosmo1976 18:10, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Minor Edits
Greetings! I was reading through this article and did a few minor edits. I removed the "Fox River" section, since it only contained one sentence, which I bumped up to geography. I personally don't understand why "McHenry lies within the watershed of the Fox River, and its downtown area is situated on that river." needs a citation, and considered removing the note (what would I cite, a map?), but I'll leave that for another edit. I also considered deleting the "Major Streets" section, since that seems like nothing more than a page-filler, but I don't look at wikipedia articles for cities very often so that might be fairly standard and I'm just unaware. I also bumped Rob Doran out of the references, and made his name link to his page. Ittan (talk) 18:05, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

 * It works, but I'm not so sure how useful it is. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 16:00, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Indian fighter?
I noticed that Mr. McHenry is described as an "Indian fighter." Checking out his article that's accurate enough, but is it the expression we want to use? PopSci (talk) 02:54, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not one to follow the PC rulebook, but to me it looks like a slam dunk to take that out and insert the actual description from the source. It's more informative and the characterization "Indian fighter" was not in the source. North8000 (talk) 13:06, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed it. North8000 (talk) 13:12, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
