Entry: Update for A143849 Michigan,US - A79093911
Author: Shagbark- wishing everyone a Happy New Year - U170775

I said when the 2010 Census numbers were in I would be submitting an update on the state of Michigan and here it is.

You mention in the 'Geography' section that 'There are bridges in all three of these cities.'

I don't know if it matters, but as well as the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, there is also a tunnel under the Detroit River connecting these two cities.


The entry looks good. A great improvement.

Anymore suggestions for this update?

Since this is an update, it won't go to a subbie, so it needs to be exactly right:

remove the space between the population 9,878,813 and footnote 1
insert a space between and
insert a space between and
remove the colon after <'Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice'>
insert a space between the two sentences; smoldering --> smouldering
comma between and
volunters --> volunteers
remove the comma and the semi-colon; peninusula --> peninsula
what are aughts?
Population --> population
--> a newspaper article in December 2010
insert a space between and
Northwest --> northwest and South -> south
insert a space between and and before
change comma to fullstop
North --> north and insert a space after Windsor
remove the comma
Picturesque --> picturesque
Prison --> prison
it's --> its
Sand Dune --> sand dune
Shores --> shores; Northwest --> northwest
resort --> resort
Change the double quotes to single quotes
chemical --> Chemical
Malcolm X and Thomas Edison; renouned --> renowned
commedian --> comedian
Footnote 2 liscense --> licence

I think I got those, anything else

as for aughts see http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aughts

You missed one:

peninusula --> peninsula

Also there should be a space after the comma after the State motto: <'Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice', which translates as>

hope that is right now-got to run RL calling.

Well, I'm back now. Is this article meeting everyones approval?

just a side note: I also updated my Florida article A3636245
but that article is not under review because it is probably to controversial to become an "Approved Article"

I am thinking of taking a nap.
Any comments on the update? Any at all

I guess everyone is to preoccupied with the coming of the new H2G2

The new Governor of Michigan(Rick Snyder- I hope I spelled that right) has instituted a website comparing our statistics with other states.
Since the editors have said I could link to pdf files as long as they were from verifiable sources I have included his recap. It is called Dashboard.
