Native Americans in Milwaukee
editThere's a Native American community in Milwaukee, including an Indian school, the Indian Community School of Milwaukee. [1] Tribal nations like the Lakota and Cherokee are present in Milwaukee. 71.102.1.95 (talk) 11:45, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yes. So? Not every ethnic group gets a separate section in the article. (There's darned few Ani-Yunwiya in Milwaukee, compared to Lakota or Chippewa, by the way.) --Orange Mike | Talk 18:45, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
References
- @71.102.1.95 Agree. No mention of tribal lands, large encampment, "Indian Hills" at 30th & Lincoln. 98.144.238.191 (talk) 09:12, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
In Popular Culture section
edit"In Popular Culture" sections are not appropriate for city articles and should be removed. Any disagreement?--Chimino (talk) 08:16, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
Muslims in (Greater) Milwaukee
editI was going through the section on religion demographics and was curious about the Muslim population in the greater Milwaukee area and wondered if anyone had any insight into Muslim demographics in the city. You’d think given how many there are in Metro Detroit and greater Chicagoland that they’d also settle in a place like Milwaukee. 97.83.136.40 (talk) 00:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC) Wiscipidier
- Well, I've talked to five and walked past dozens in the past three hours here in a major Milwaukee mall. They are most common on the South Side north and south of Layton. The problem is, I don't know of any reliable secular sources for that information. I could give you addresses for Muslim daycares, mosques, halal restaurants, etc. But solid numbers? Trickier to find. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:50, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
Kasubes
editKasubes were here earlier than 1870. Attorney for Illinois Steel, Otjen, wanted them off Jones Island, but failed. Kasubes all had land grants from Michigan Territory, ergo prior to WI statehood in 1848(?). Eventually, as alderman, extracted vengence by imminent domain for New Sewage Treatment Plant. 98.144.238.191 (talk) 09:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Cityscape Panorama
editCityscape Panorama lead image is woefully out of date, especially given the amount of development (St. John's, NWML, Ascent, BMO, 777, Couture, fiserv, Kimpton, etc.) that has occurred in Milwaukee over the past 15 years since the current image was taken. A comparison could be interesting too if there is a new image available from a similar/same vantage point. 65.26.251.241 (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Downtown Photo on start of page awful.
editThere have to be better photos than this. Much more to skyline than that. Also I second that the panorama is very out of date. Bfkenney (talk) 23:43, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Changes to 2020 population
editThe challenge City of Milwaukee had against the 2020 Census got denied, but there was still an increase of 771 residents compared to the reported figure.[1] The Census website still shows the old figure, however. Given the sensitivity of such numbers, should we wait until the Census website is updated with the new count, or is this news article sufficient? huntertur (talk) 02:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
