I made this page... I hope it is educational! Chering (talk) 20:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure how big the page was when you added it, but it is a total mess. The "facts" in the infobox are wrong, the citations are almost non-existent, it's cluttered...I mean, this is not how we do pages for localities on wiki. I'm going to try and fix the mess, but it's almost too much to fix without deleting the entire thing and starting over. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:54, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Almost none of this is sourced so there is no way to check to see what is current, and what is old. Some if it is out of scope, and some applies to Lansing and not this district. Some is just Chamber of Commerce puffery. Per a variety of wikipedia policies, I'm removing a lot of it. If anyone objects, please provide references and add it back in.

Thanks for finally doing it. I always planned to do it, but lost track of the page. Not only was some of it out of scope applying to the city instead of the district, but the demographics in particular were made up whole cloth. I believe that I added the information in the infobox, as there are two Census Bureau tracts which basically cover the definition of the neighborhood. When I get the time, I'll try to break it down further and perhaps add a demographic section consistent with such sections on similar pages dealing with specific geographicaly urban areas. I'll also look at other neighborhood pages and see what other sections could be added aside from the history section already present. But, yeah, the page was an utter mess. I was just baffled who do something like that. Depending on who did this, we may have to guard against something trying to revert these changes, but I'll put in a word for you if it ever comes to that. --Criticalthinker (talk) 16:25, 29 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
