Did they take it from Wikipedia, or was it the other way around? I think the second seems more likely, in which case this needs to be changed.

Michigan

[edit]

It is interesting to use the Internet to investigate the question, "Is Middle Island entirely south of Michigan?" If you use Google's maps to pinpoint Michigan's southernmost point, where it touches Ohio and Indiana, then slide east, you enter Lake Erie north of Middle Island. Such a result is not convincing. Canada's government, at http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/maps/topo/map provides very precise maps that locate Middle Island's North point at 41º 41' 03" and Middle Island's South point at 41º 40' 52". Michigan's government seems to show that Michigan's southernmost point is just a little bit north of the northernmost part of Middle Island. If this is so, then Michigan is the thirteenth state that is entirely north of the southernmost part of Canada.

http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapsurfer, a site maintained by the United States government locates Michigan's southernmost point at Latitude 41.696, Longitude -84.806. By these figures, Middle Island Canada is indeed south of all of Michigan.

I moved this material from the article because discussion like this don't belong in article space. There is a precise answer in this case, we just need to determine and then tell which one. Unless there's any treaties I don't know about (e.g. Michigan and Ohio have a disputed border), Michigan appears to warrant inclusion on the list of 12 13 states.

Why the focus on the USA?

[edit]

It seems bizarre to me that the lead paragraph of this article about a Canadian island is mainly about the US. The discussion of which states are north of it may be interesting trivia to US residents but it seems unduly US-centric. I would move that to a section of its won and rewrite the lede more traditionally (I'm not doing that myself because I haven't edited the article and don't want to step on anyone's toes--but please consider that, to an outsider, the emphasis seems strange here. · rodii · 18:38, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
