Hello! You added this to Michigan:
 * "There was only one local newspaper at the time of the Civil War and this was the only source of communication between soldier's and their families."

Only one local newspaper where? In the entire UP? In Michigan? This seems very suspect. -- dcclark (talk) 21:11, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I had a similar reaction to this slightly amended addition today, and removed it: "There was only one local newspaper at the time of the Civil War and this was the only source of communication between soldier's and their families." JohnInDC (talk) 21:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I was contacted by an instructor at MTU who apparently assigns students to improve Wikipedia articles, and who was unhappy about these reversions. So I decided to actually contact the editors before reverting. But yes, I agree that this material is very, very questionable. -- dcclark (talk) 00:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
