we need a map of Northern michigan with cities listed. I am lazy but will do it if nobody else wants to contribute to the legacy of wikipedia by drawing and posting one. MPS 20:41, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Midland is in the county directly east of Isabella County (where Central Michigan University is located). Midland County is not considered part of northern Michigan, therefore neither is Northwood University. This means there are no four-year universities in northern Michigan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.132.45 ( talk) 17:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Somebody needs to do a commentary on US-31, US-27 and US-131. I almost never drive those, and I'm bored with the size of putting this whole road thing together. There are probably fairly good descriptions of at least one of them in Traverse City, Michigan.
DONE. We should also add in M-115 and M-13 (needs commentary) (the latter runs north from Bay City to Standish and US-23, and is the hypotonous of a right triangle, where one might have considered using I-75 to get to US-23.

This article is completely lacking in a broader and better researched history section, which it really needs. 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 16:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Stan
There are relevant statistics on Michigan, which I believe are part of the larger picture. One of our editors removed this as 'irrelevant'. My request to him for more relevant data (presumably limited to Northern Michigan) has gone unanswered. Here is the data:

The geographical theme of this region is shaped by the fact that it is part of greater Michigan, which has:

I reworked the statistics, so it is just a simple paragraph. I think it adds something to the article. I did put in an internal link to the Michigan article, which oddly may not have been in there at all. 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 12:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Stan

As to the criticism on the radio stations, maybe it does belong somewhere else, and a simple link would solve the issue. However, I don't think that this information is anywhere else, and simply deleting it makes little sense, as it is potentially useful to users.

i need to know the population of humans in this region. i dont feel like spending hours looking at every individual county just to find out. 99.51.212.6 ( talk) 17:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Is "Northern Michigan" a proper noun? Id est, should "Northern" be capitalized? Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 19:05, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Northern Michigan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I just added a bunch of stuff to the history section in the last few days and it s getting rather long... do you think it would be ok to start a History of northern Michigan article? I have not even touched the 20th century and there is still some stuff from the Louisiana (New France) era that I think would be valuable. Peace MPS ( talk) 22:51, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

I noticed a number of references using the url to a Google Book link. I though editors might be interested in a tool which takes a link as input and creates a (usually) properly formatted ref.
Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books
I used it to improve two such references.
It really helps creates a much cleaner list of references. I hope you will try it. S Philbrick (Talk) 19:31, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Article needs additional information on this, I think. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 12:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
While the infobox map serves its purpose, I'm not a big fan of it. Except the Upper Peninsula and Metro Detroit, no major regions in the state have any defined boundaries; the sub-articles themselves even admit that and don't provide any valuable references. While that can be a discussion for another day, my easiest concern can be why is Bois Blanc Island colored as if it is part of Northern Michigan, when it is part of the Upper Peninsula? I tried to upload a revised version of the map on Commons to change the island's color, but it said I don't have permission since it is not my original image. I don't want to upload an entirely new image if there is a way that the simple error can be fixed on the original image. — Notorious4life ( talk) 00:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
