[edit] Owosso, Michigan

I see you are doing a lot of editing in the Owosso, Michigan article. You might want to add an infobox like many other city articles have. It's a good way to organize information and make your article similar in format with other articles, which is a Wikipedia goal. Try going to the Buffalo, New York article, copy the "Infobox City" at the top of the article to your article, and change the information. When you copy, please make sure you get everything between and including the open and close braces {{...}}, it's about 35 lines of text. Best of luck! Truthanado 00:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I see that you added a lot of references in the Owosso, Michigan article. Please see Wikiedia:Footnotes for style recommendations. Thank you. Tomj 18:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

• You should also create a page on Collamer's park/Hopkin's Lake. Bon chance. •Malinaccier• 01:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
