presume that increases the precipitation to more than what would occur without the lake effect, but the source didn't appear to say that from what I recall. If you have another available that would help. So something should go in about lake effect, maybe that it exists, but is less than the west side of the state, but I couldn't think of how to say it. -

Lansing typically. I don't have a source for that at hand, but I wonder where the info in the article came from. I didn't want to revert though. Sorry to be a spectator, but you're doing a great job overall. I also think the history section is too long for an overview article of a city, especially if your goal is to be a FA. -

Hey, so about the shopping cart race, if you want to do that right you need to put that down as Punk Week. (I'm going to get killed for doing this.) That whole week consists of Punk shows, and the whole punk community from the surrounding USA comes out (we're talking drifters from as far as Cali).

The only place I think there is gratuitous mention is in the culture section. There are plenty of cultural events not tied to the Uni, so that could be redone to discuss that the city has many cultural events, art fairs, etc, and that the
University has many or a good portion of them too. Where else

Hey everyone. This article is looking pretty nice. The "History" section is getting long enough that it would be a good idea to have sub-headings. Anyone want to take a stab at that? Maybe some of the stuff briefly listed under "History" also deserves separate, longer articles; for example: 1.) the

Ok, reading that fits more into what I was thinking and the impression I got from the lake effect article. AA gets some of the lake effect to increase the cloudiness and gets more lake effect snow than say
Minneapolis MN, but saying it gets a lot of snow because of it is overdoing it. Better than

I tweaked it a bit just so it didn't say heavy snowfall. For areas that get snow, 1-10 inches a month is certainly not heavy. It sounds reasonable that AA does have some climate effect from lake effect, so mentioning it in the way that source did, that it increases cloudiness should be done. I

Ann Arbor greenbelt could be a good article of its own, including past (failed) attempts to enact one, the intense debate leading up to the referendum, related debates on downtown density, etc. 2.) the "Free John

I'm a 22-year old, born and raised in Ann Arbor and while it is a recent slang, Ace Deuce is definitely a very common term now, at least among my age group, although I'm not necessarily sure it should be added as a nickname yet

That's a good point. It would make a good UM picture, but it contributes to the overdoing it in this article. Aren't there some other prominent houses? Maybe a picture from Huron River drive at the neighborhood to the North? -

I tried rewording a bit, but from my own perspective the
University does dominate the cultural scene in Ann Arbor. Hence, I am going to need some help in this area. The other sections aren't too much of a problem though.

Aside from the
Weather Underground (which I visited their office once), are you sure the other two web companies are based in Ann Arbor? Once you confirm that, I have no problems adding them to the article.

could have been replaced with a more 'neutral' one, because that's a special case than what you normally find, and gives the already-UoM-smelling article an additional bias imhoĀ :-)

For the restaurant notation, it could probably be best to place it into the culture section, though I am also seeing some legitimate reasons to place it in the economy section.
