It says General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis all have headquarters in Detroit, but when you click on their pages, only GM has a headquarters in Detroit. Mattximus (talk) 19:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

You are right! GM has it at the RenCen; I think they mean the Detroit area. 206.57.152.111 (talk) 14:24, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Consistency in Translations

In the history section we are saying "in the former colonies of New France and La Louisiane, respectively." One is rendered in English, the other in French, despite the fact that both are 18th century French colonies.

I recommend we either say "La Nouvelle France" and La Louisiane," or we say "New France" and "Louisiana." — Muckapedia (talk) 5e sept. 2024 9h24 (−4h) 13:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

They are at present building a new bridge; can someone add that? It is called the Gordie Howe International Bridge in case you do add it. It is done in 2025...I think. 206.57.152.111 (talk) 14:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
