Warren is Detroit's largest suburb within the country, yes, but I would argue that Windsor, Ontario is really Detroit's largest suburb. Not sure how best to rephrase the sentence.

[edit] Windsor a suburb?

Most people from Windsor do not consider themselves to be a 'suburb' of Detroit. They are a separate grographic and demographic area.

[edit] Windsor a City in Its Own Right

Windsor is a city that, although all-but contiguous to Detroit, is a city in its own right with its own suburbs. El cid1010 (talk) 22:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Although the word "contiguous" here hardly fits. Windsor, Ontario is in a different country from Detroit, Michigan. One has to cross the border (and now you have to have a passport to do it). The Detroit River is a mile wide, divides the two cities, and you can either take the Ambassador Bridge (which has so much truck traffic on it that it is frequently very slow) or the Detroit–Windsor Tunnel. This is not to mention that the 'feel' of Windsor and Detroit are enormously different. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 22:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC) Stan

[edit] Gangs in Warren

I note the following edit is in this article:

[edit] Gangs

Gangs have been started in South warren since inner city kids have been movin to the suburbs. Gangs:

Besides the grammatical issues ("warren" and "movin"} there is the valid question of notability, and the reliability of the myspace.com reference. What demographic are we trying to please here? Is this a gang posting? There are a number of important questions for Wikipedia, its administrators, and its contributors to contemplate. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 21:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC) Stan

I agree, it needs to be removed. It's defamatory and unsourced, at most it's advertising for a particular "gang". Even if a reliable source is found, it should be included in a "crime" section with no need to name specific gangs. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
