Henry Ford

@Imzadi1979: Where in the source does it say that we're talking about Henry Ford and not some other Henry Ford? Getting from there to it being the specific industrialist seems to require original research, no? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:32, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

There's plenty of documentation that that Henry Ford was active in Dexter at that timeframe. He owned the adjacent Mill Creek property to rebuild the dam there to supply power to a planned auto parts factory that was not built because of the Great Depression. For exact clarity though, consulting the Washtenaw County Register of Deeds, Liber 309, page 73, records the quit claim deed of one Henry Ford and his wife Clara J. Ford of Dearborn, Michigan, for two parcels of land in the Village of Dexter for the consideration of of $1.00. You may download said document for $1.20/page from the linked website. Since our noted industrialist was resident in Dearborn and married to one Clara Jane Bryant Ford, I do believe that adding a citation to the deed record referenced on the right-of-way map sheet should be sufficient.

Football verification

@BeanieFan11: where are you seeing that info? Is it on another page of the article besides the one which has been linked as the source page? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

• "The three 'approved' routes:... on M-132 to Ann Arbor". BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:54, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes that is a page other than the one citied. How does one get from "approved" (quotation marks expressing skepticism in original) to official in wikivoice? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

It could be just me, but "The three 'approved' routes" vs. "The three official routes" sounds the same to me. (Also, that link is in the citation) BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:59, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

To me those are entirely different statements. They aren't official routes, it fails verification. What is left is "was one of three recommended routes but not the most recommended one" which is so far into trivia that its just undue for inclusion.
