– I'm proposing that all 58 county-specific lists be moved to eliminate "Michigan" from the end of the name. Since these are Michigan sites, it's obvious that they're in Michigan, not in Arkansas or Ontario. Alternately, we could just omit "Michigan" from the earlier part of the name (e.g. "List of State Historic Sites in Tuscola County, Michigan"), but someone could read it as being a wider-than-just-Michigan concept (comparable to state highways), rather than a Michigan-only program. This format is already used in similar situations by other states; see List of Pennsylvania state historical markers in Lycoming County and List of Indiana state historical markers in Perry County for a couple of examples, and also an isolated Michigan example, List of Michigan State Historical Markers in Oakland County. Final note — as long as we adopt my proposal, there's no need to move the parent "List of MHSHs in MI" page; I merely provided it because the template wouldn't work properly otherwise.

  • Comment: Actually, according to this website (under the Counties tab), there are some markers erected out of state, and even in France. I haven't actually checked to see if there are any repeated counties, though. Still, that's not enough of a reason not to move, and I see no problems with moving them. Also, one final point: The Oakland county list mentioned is just a list of the sites which have markers erected, and is redundant to the sites list. Other redundant lists exist for Macomb County, Wayne County, and Detroit, all without ", Michigan" kennethaw88talk 01:46, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although that's true (and thank you; I didn't know that), I don't think it's hugely relevant, because ", Michigan" can reasonably be inferred; if they had a dozen Toledo War sites in and around Toledo, we'd call it "List of MI SHSs in Lucas County, Ohio", not just to clarify that it was in Ohio, but because anyone will assume that "List of MI SHSs in X County" is a list of places in X County, MI. Since this list directory doesn't mention out-of-state markers, what about creating a list of Michigan State Historic Sites outside Michigan? Nyttend (talk) 02:18, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on

[edit]

an article, St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church (Ann Arbor, Michigan) which appears on this list, List of Michigan State Historic Sites in Washtenaw County. Then someone dropped a Citation needed tag on it and when I went to the reference of that article I found a dead link. I have not been able to locate a list of Michigan State Historic Sites anywhere, so how do I satisfy the cit needed request? Any ideas?

Unfortunately, the Michigan Historic Sites Online website went down a couple of years ago, and it doesn't seem like it's coming back. I don't know where else to find a list of the sites. I can find this book transcript which cryptically notes that the church is on the State Register (SR). It doesn't give a year, though. kennethaw88talk 06:56, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, since you already used that source, I just updated the reference. kennethaw88talk 07:19, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
