Talk:Detroit

Error in lead?

It says General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis all have headquarters in Detroit, but when you click on their pages, only GM has a headquarters in Detroit. Mattximus (talk) 19:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

You are right! GM has it at the RenCen; I think they mean the Detroit area. 206.57.152.111 (talk) 14:24, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Consistency in Translations

In the history section we are saying "in the former colonies of New France and La Louisiane, respectively." One is rendered in English, the other in French, despite the fact that both are 18th century French colonies.

I recommend we either say "La Nouvelle France" and La Louisiane," or we say "New France" and "Louisiana." — Muckapedia (talk) 5^e sept. 2024 9h24 (−4h) 13:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

The links to Canada

They are at present building a new bridge; can someone add that? It is called the Gordie Howe International Bridge in case you do add it. It is done in 2025...I think. 206.57.152.111 (talk) 14:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

"Too long" tag

Does anyone think it's necessary to have the tag that says "This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably"? I don't see any difference between this article and articles of other cities that don't have the tag. T Yorke (talk) 02:47, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

This article is nearly 15k words of readable prose, and is in need of being streamlined per the summary style guideline. If there are other city articles of similar length they should also be addressed. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:03, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Montage

Downtown Detroit skyline

Fox Theatre

Detroit Institute of Arts

Ambassador Bridge

Comerica Park

Ford Piquette Plant

Hitsville U.S.A.

Belle Isle Park

I'd like to propose changing the images in the infobox to those appearing to the right (after receiving pushback from T Yorke). Namely, I'd like to change the skyline image to the proposed because the current image is from 2015; this new image is from 2024. While I can appreciate that this image is not encompassing every building in downtown Detroit at the scope of the old image, it does feature the skyline in substantial part--featuring the new Hudson's development--and is a daylight image.

Because this image more prominently features the RenCen, I removed it from the montage and added the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant as a representation of the city's history. Looking for community input as to updating the images in the montage. Thanks! 636Buster (talk) 22:51, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

I'd like to propose keeping the current images in the infobox. The proposed image of the skyline cuts off one of the Renaissance Center buildings, doesn't include Huntington Place Convention Center, and includes the Hudson's building (which isn't complete yet). I recommend updating the image when the Hudson's building is complete and the image also includes the other buildings mentioned. The current image was taken during sunset and everything appears to be visible.

The Renaissance Center is Detroit's tallest building and is also representative of the city's history. Thanks. T Yorke (talk) 23:58, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
