Naming[edit]

I expanded the article from a few sentences, but one thing concerns me. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources lists it as "Lake Hudson Recreation Area" and not "Lake Hudson State Recreation Area". For consistency, I believe the article should be renamed without the word "State" in it. Although, I saw previous discussions in the history section that somehow led to it continuing to be named by the non-official name, while the state lists it as Lake Hudson Recreation Area. If anyone has any comments on the naming (as well as my recent expansion of the article), feel free to let me know before I ultimately move the article to its official name. I'm also aware that other recreation area articles incorrectly use the word "State" in their titles, even though the DNR doesn't list them as such. I believe the correction can be made starting with Lake Hudson and moving down the line, unless there's a valid reason and consensus against it. —Notorious4life (talk) 01:21, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notorious4life, the name issue would probably be worth a conversation at the Michigan Wikiproject talk page. Your expansion is great, but more secondary sources are needed. I seem to recall Michigan Out of Doors, which is produced by the Grand Rapids PBS station, having done a show on it. Also, perhaps Michigan Living, AAA Michigan's member magazine may have something. Many libraries have it. I'd support your move, but since it involves multiple articles, I think a wider forum should be used. John from Idegon (talk) 01:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
