[edit] Demographic mistake

I've removed the following

"Males had a median income of $0 versus $56,167 for females."

Does anybody know the correct numbers? Also some of this looks like real estate advertising prose. It could use a clean-up. Smallbones 17:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

http://factfinder.census.gov says 100,000+ for males, rambot must not have known how to interpret that and put zero. --Dual Freq 22:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "only recently annexed"???

A paragraph was just removed about St. john's Chapel. The arguement seems to be that this is in an area that was only recently annexed (when? that deserves to be in the article), so it's history is not BH's history. I don't like this arguement. It seems to say that the church is "not really" in Barrington Hills, but of course - according to the law - it is.

I'll revert, but that does not mean that I like the paragraph as is. Why don't we work on it rather than just remove it?

[edit] Townships in box

I'm trying to figure out how to put the right townships in the info box (difficult since there are 4 counties involved, but all townships have seperate articles.

S/B: townships = Barrington, Cuba, Algonquin, Dundee|

Well it works here, but not in the box. Smallbones (talk) 20:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC):

Unfortunately I had to design the template with a convoluted method for specifying the township links. There are separate fields, tcounty - tcounty3, for specifying the counties in the links of the townships. I had to make it separate because there are some instances where a municipality might lay within two townships in the same county. Note that the first township field uses the county variable, but any additional townships uses tcounty-tcounty3. I hope i haven't confused you further. — oo64eva (Alex) (U | T | C) @ 04:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
