[edit] "Nearest city" in infobox

The infobox identifies Birchwood as the "nearest city." That's a misnomer; Birchwood is not a city by most any definition of that word. (It is a settlement that has a K-8 public school and a couple of small businesses and churches.) It is, however, the nearest identifiable place named on a map. Is there another term that could be used in place of "nearest city"? --Orlady (talk) 21:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure who created the infobox template, but they're getting the "city" from the general location listed in the NRIS database. I can't load it at the moment, but this site basically mirrors its entries. I'm not sure if changing the term requires changing the entire template. If nothing else, we could leave "nearest city" blank— the location is already listed, so the line is somewhat redundant. Bms4880 (talk) 22:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I'd feel better leaving it out of this infobox. As you point out, the information is in the article.--Orlady (talk) 00:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
