Flushing County

There is no Flushing County, Ohio, but several townships are being listed as in it. PedanticallySpeaking 19:47, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)

I think it was somehow an error for Belmont County. If you look at the page history, you'll see that the Belmont County townships were added months after the rest of the page was created, and for every Belmont County township, there's also a Flushing County township.

Bot for Ohio Townships Project

I created Wikipedia:WikiProject Ohio townships yesterday after having gone through and manually created articles on all the townships in Butler, Warren, and Clinton counties, e.g. Oxford Township, Butler County, Ohio.
There is a wealth of data on each township in the Census data, which are also available more easily through Ohio State's site. Bots were used to create articles from this data on all of Ohio's villages and cities and I wonder if someone would be willing to create and operate a bot for me to add the Census data to the existing articles and to create new ones. I have some guidelines on the project page for how these articles should be set up. If someone's interested, please let me know on my talk page. And I'd welcome anyone to join the project as well.

Naming convention

I've proposed a standard form for naming articles on Ohio school districts: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Ohio school districts), which could easily be extended to apply to districts in other states. I'd welcome some feedback on this. PedanticallySpeaking 16:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Townships not municipalities

A useful summary of the legal distinction between townships and municipalities appears near the top of the Supreme Court's opinion in Carroll v. Washington Township Zoning Commission, 56 Ohio St.2d 164, and specifically applied to a municipalities-vs-townships context by the Twelfth District Court of Appeals in Hamilton v. Fairfield Township, 112 Ohio App.3d 255. Good to include in the reworked intro. Nyttend (talk) 14:10, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New resource

See [1] for 2010 data. Nyttend (talk) 11:41, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See page 224 of [2] for Census Bureau documentation and a general encompassing term, "subcounty general purpose governments". Nyttend (talk) 13:41, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also [3] for 2010 data; each township is listed with clear distinctions between incorporated and unincorporated populations. Nyttend (talk) 19:51, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
