The article currently states that the Nordstrom in Twelve Oaks Mall is still under development. Nordstrom actually opened on 09/28/07. Kipp 18:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Online reference to Railroad construction. Wixom was once part of Novi Township.
http://www.ci.wixom.mi.us/YourCommunity/history.html
Time period of railroad construction:
http://www.michiganrailroads.com/RRHX/Timeline/1870s/TimeLine1870sBackUp.htm
The city was awarded a grant in 2005. The projects that included donations of parkland were approved in 2004 although the land was not officially donated until 2005/2006.
The City is undertaking a special census that will be completed in 2006. There was no census in 2005. When the special census totals are available, it should be referenced separately. The 2000 numbers should be retained for comparative purposes.
Novi includes all or part of 4 school districts, not just Novi Schools. Information about the schools should go into their own article.
I removed this section of the article due to the fact that I can hardly think of something more subjective than what city is more or less similar to Novi than another. If you want to look at how much money the residents make, check out Michigan locations by per capita income, where Novi ranks 32nd in Michigan. Segelflugzeugwettbewerber 03:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

SunGodMTU added: This depot was the sixth stop on the line (No. VI), which is how the city received it's name. However this differs from recorded accounts. The name existed before the railroad came to the area. I suspect the account relating it to the depot number is a folk etymology. In History of Oakland County Michigan a narrative account of its historic progress, its people, its principal interests / compiled from the official records of the county, the newspapers and data of personal interviews, under the editorial supervision of Thaddeus D.

Emory, at the suggestion of his wife, proposed 'Novi.'" No mention is made of a railroad depot number, only that there was some ridicule about the name in Lating meaning "unknown", "not known" or "forgotten". Essentially the same version is presented in the History of Oakland County, Michigan., Durant, Samuel W. 1877 [2] (although the scanned page image is barely legible here) older≠ wiser 14:12, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
As was noted in the article, neither the railroad or the toll road existed when the Township was named.
The claim about Novi being named after Northville is historically impossible since Novi was named 40 years before the creation of Northville Township. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.74.221 ( talk) 23:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
This seems to be heading a bit far afield for the topic. I've consolidated this to remove the non-Novi specific information. If there's a Japantown topic, it would be more appropriate to link to that instead of using this topic to cover the entire Japantown topic.
I've added the NPOV-section tag to this section, as it seems to be heavily biased.
While I don't disagree with most of the facts presented, the phrasing is clearly outside the realm of a neutral point of view, and should be cleaned up.

It hardly seems accurate to "blame" or "credit" 12 Oaks Mall for the surrounding suburban sprawl when every adjacent community, which don't have retail on the scale of 12 Oaks Mall, have seen as much or more sprawl. Plus, 12 Oaks doesn't even provide the best example of sprawl. Across the street from the Mall is the 160 acre Toll Gate Farm and just down the road is over 600 acres of parkland, hardly examples of sprawl.
Thinking about this some more, an article on urban sprawl in Novi shouldn't focus on the mall. And the intro. already discusses the loss of open space and farmland in the city.
There was a paragraph on oversaturation that was removed along with the sprawl paragarph -- I didn't write it, and don't know whether it's accurate, but I thought I'd copy it here for someone else to edit/re-add:
The City of Novi is thought now to be experiencing an oversaturization of retail space, as can be witnessed in several retail developments that have relatively high vacancy rates, such as Novi Town Center (nearly 50% vacant) and the bankrupt "Main Street" project (never completed). At one point, developers of the Fountain Walk Mall had also filed bankruptcy. Furthermore, recent plans published in The Detroit News call for nearly 90,000sq. ft. of Fountain Walk to be demolished to be made more "pedestrian friendly". Most of the space slated for demolition never held a single tenant since completion in 2002. It remains to be seen if the additional retail floorspace at Twelve Oaks will be quickly occupied.

An anonymous Wikipedian made some minor changes to the phrasing of Novi's government. I'm reasonably sure that the person was well-intentioned, as "weak mayor" may appear offensive / POV. However, the delegations of authority in Novi do suggest that the mayor is "weak" in terms of authority prescribed by the city's charter. Thus, the mayoral office is "weak" because appointments and other matters have to be approved by the city council, rather than the mayor having unilateral authority.
Perhaps someone with a better understanding of Novi's charter could re-write this? Kevin 05:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
"Weak mayor" is neither offensive or POV. It's a standard description for Novi's form of government. In Novi, the mayor doesn't exercise additional powers outside those of the other council members. It's clearly different than a strong mayor system. Someone could try working in the links to explain the differences.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_mayor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council-manager_government
That's why I suggested incorporating the links for those unfamiliar with the concept. I'm not sure how you would otherwise describe the differences without writing an extended explanation that would be out of place in this article.
Quite a few athletes live in Novi including Nick Lidstrom among others:

What's the criteria for including them?
Describing farms and open spaces as "paved over" accurately describes what has happened to those places. "Development" white-washes that by using something so generic in description that it could mean just about anything. Claiming that language is NPOV and "paved over" is not reflects the bias of those undoing the edit. "Paved over" is a fact, not a viewpoint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.129.247 ( talk) 00:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Your comments ignore the context of the description. The section discussed parks and natural areas. Those places are notable today because of the scarcity of such sites in the city and the unique quality of resources that they contain. In that context, explaining why they are so unique is relevant to the understanding of such places. That's why the original language that talked about those places being lost to development was appropriate. The term "paved over" is likely to be viewed by some as inflammatory but it is nevertheless a statement of fact. Would the statement "largely paved over" meet your objections? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.222.66.164 ( talk) 02:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
The area that you describe does not constitute a majority of the area of the city and is hardly representative of Novi as a whole. Also, these statistics from Oakland County show that in fact, over 50% of the land in the city, a majority of land, has been converted from open space and farmland into roads and developed land.

Why is this user being allowed to do wholesale editing of the article? Is this a Wiki entry or a marketing opportunity for the city of novi? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.106.51 ( talk) 22:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
The section about shopping centers is largely useless. It needs to be rewritten to cover things that are notable, such as the effect of Twelve Oaks on the population growth, or the prominence of Rock Financial Showplace. I'll delete it in a few days, unless someone can give a reasonable reason not to. Tealwisp ( talk) 21:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Gupta hasn't even been nominated for the Surgeon General's position. Do not list his as Surgeon General unless and until he's nominated and approved for the position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.127.248 ( talk) 04:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Is this a tabloid or an encyclopedia? What is the purpose of including speculative information? When he is formally nominated, it can be updated to note that. What's the point otherwise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.213.86.70 ( talk) 04:35, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Why is the request for citation placed on historical facts that are verified by the links provided? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.105.36 ( talk) 05:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, it helps to have a reference right next to the fact, rather than finding it at the bottom. Simply use the links provided and convert them into a citation. Thanks,

23:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Does anyone know where I can find a map of the previously incorporated Village of Novi showing the village boundaries?

I put it in miscellaneous education since it doesn't seem to be a full-on school, and according to the enrollment statistics it had a total of three students: http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/sch_info_popup.asp?Type=Private&ID=A0104565 - It is not accredited.

I don't know if this belongs in the article, but here is something on Lotus Bank:
This Novi bank opened in 2007. Its mission statement was that it was "with the intent to serve the Indian and Asian communities in Southeast Michigan." - In 2013 two Indians, one resident in Oakland County, filed a lawsuit claiming the bank employees were racially insensitive to them WhisperToMe ( talk) 10:06, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Why is this user being allowed to do wholesale editing of the article? Is this a Wiki entry or a marketing opportunity for the city of novi? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.106.51 ( talk) 22:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
The section about shopping centers is largely useless. It needs to be rewritten to cover things that are notable, such as the effect of Twelve Oaks on the population growth, or the prominence of Rock Financial Showplace. I'll delete it in a few days, unless someone can give a reasonable reason not to. Tealwisp ( talk) 21:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Gupta hasn't even been nominated for the Surgeon General's position. Do not list his as Surgeon General unless and until he's nominated and approved for the position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.127.248 ( talk) 04:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Is this a tabloid or an encyclopedia? What is the purpose of including speculative information? When he is formally nominated, it can be updated to note that. What's the point otherwise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.213.86.70 ( talk) 04:35, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Why is the request for citation placed on historical facts that are verified by the links provided? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.105.36 ( talk) 05:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, it helps to have a reference right next to the fact, rather than finding it at the bottom. Simply use the links provided and convert them into a citation. Thanks,

To do that, simply add "<ref>" and "</ref>" on the ends of the link. Tealwisp ( talk) 17:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Why isn't there anything said about the Novi engine ? It is, after all, either named after or was built in Novi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.179.162.142 ( talk) 23:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

23:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Does anyone know where I can find a map of the previously incorporated Village of Novi showing the village boundaries? I'm intersted in where it was located within the current City of Novi before the village and most of the township merged. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 07:30, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
I put it in miscellaneous education since it doesn't seem to be a full-on school, and according to the enrollment statistics it had a total of three students: http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/sch_info_popup.asp?Type=Private&ID=A0104565 - It is not accredited.
A full list of the schools in Novi is here: http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/index.asp?search=1&city=Novi&state=MI&zipcode=48377&miles=10&itemname=&sortby=name&School=1&PrivSchool=1&College=1&Library=1&CS=FC78A8BC WhisperToMe ( talk) 00:20, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
I don't know if this belongs in the article, but here is something on Lotus Bank:
This Novi bank opened in 2007. Its mission statement was that it was "with the intent to serve the Indian and Asian communities in Southeast Michigan." - In 2013 two Indians, one resident in Oakland County, filed a lawsuit claiming the bank employees were racially insensitive to them WhisperToMe ( talk) 10:06, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
