Template talk:Milwaukee Metropolitan Area

Comment
I think that the list of major suburbs, minor suburbs, and counties should be put in alphabetical order within each group, not in order by population. First, it's hard to read through the list to find the specific suburb one is looking for. Second, every time that one city gets larger than another, the template will need to be changed. It's also not clear to someone who's not familiar with Milwaukee what order they are in; it looks haphazard at first. (This goes for the other suburb templates as well.

Any objections to changing it to alphabetical? --BaronLarf 07:57, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

Not using any accepted definition of "Milwaukee metropolitan area"
Wondering at what point the decision was made to list Racine County here. According to the census bureau, Racine County is part of the Racine metro area, not the Milwaukee one. It is part of the Milwaukee combined statistical area, but so are several other bordering counties which are not listed here. Regardless of one's feelings about the definition of metro Milwaukee, this is an encyclopedia and we are to use the census bureau definitions. This template should be updated in one of two ways:
 * Remove Racine County, leave title unchanged
 * Add Walworth, Dodge, and Jefferson, and change title to "Milwaukee combined statistical area"
