I have proposed moving Lansing from "Southern Michigan" to "Central Michigan". This move would be performed virtually within Wikipedia, of course. Please see the discussion at Talk:Southern Michigan. --TRosenbaum 12:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As a resident of Lansing, I can report that everyone around here uses "Mid-Michigan" to refer to the Lansing metro area. For instance, I am a member of the Mid-Michigan Freecycle Network, which covers only Lansing and its outlying areas. There is also a large local physicians' group called Mid-Michigan Physicians, and all of their offices are in the Lansing area. (Check out their web site at http://www.mmpweb.com/ and click on "office locations" if you want to check.) These are just two of myriad examples. Although residents of the thumb may well also use the term mid-michigan, it is certainly not limited to them and in fact I think most people around here would be surprised to learn that mid-Michigan includes that area. 141.209.180.104 16:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think agreement on absolute regional boundaries is possible without a strict definition of "region". The concept of region is ambiguous -- it means different things to different people. Have a look at how the ambiguous regional boundary issue was resolved for the "Northwest Ohio" region. The text lists counties that "are or may be" classified as part of the region. The map uses different colors showing counties that are included in the region "always", "most of the time", and "least". The Northwest Ohio region article even says "Just like any other region, there is no universally agreed-upon line for northwestern Ohio, as the entire area is defined differently by the opinions of multiple people." If we did something similar here, then we could argue about which category or degree each city belongs in instead of whether or not a city belongs at all :) TRosenbaum 05:14, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I put in a section on Highways. Somebody needs to supplement the list of freeways, U.S. routes, and Michigan routes. If you just put in a list of numbers, I can come back and put in the signs and links, although if you follow the pattern that is already there, it isn't that hard to do. We could also use a description of what these roads do. See Northern Michigan for example. The sources on that information are available from the links for each road 7&6=thirteen (talk) 15:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Stan[reply]
I think there's a bunch of this, especially in Lansing and environs. Even though it has a small population, Mason, Michigan and Eaton Rapids are a neat and historical towns that maybe need a mention. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 18:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]
We have to go over this, again:
"Local media, most notably television and radio stations, refer to Flint, Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City areas as "Mid Michigan"; for this area see Flint/Tri-Cities."
Again, "local media" here in Lansing also refer to metropolitan Lansing as "Mid-Michigan," as do many businesses and local organizations/agencies. That sentence is only half correct, then, so I continue to be confused as to why Flint, the Thumb, and even the Bay region continue to get the focus on this page. Two distinct regions of this state refer to themselves as "Mid-Michigan"; this article needs to FAR better reflect that reality, particularly when the Flint area's definition seems to be far less definitive (i.e. they can't even seem to decided if the Thumb or Bay count). --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
