Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?

There are footnote markers in the text of this article but no footnotes -- Tarquin 13:11, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
There is a new map of Portage County in the article, File:Portage County labeled.png. I like that it shows the incorporated cities and villages more clearly by shading them blue, but do not like that it also removes / loses some information compared to the old map, File:Map of Portage County Ohio With Municipal and Township Labels.PNG (which the new version is based on). The lost information is chiefly the loss of the Census-designated place Brimfield, Ohio (shown on the old map, not on the new one), but there is also some loss of border information, i.e. Mantua has a small extension on the western edge which has been removed in the new map and numerous slightly crooked borders in the original are now smooothed out and straight.
The old map is from the US Census Bureau, cropped by me and with extraneous information removed and the scale and north arrow added. Since I am niot a neutral party, I thought I would bring up the map question here for others to comment on. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 13:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
While the village of Portage, Ohio obviously has a similar name, I removed the hatnote on this article since it is very clear that the article is about a county, not a village. That's on top of the fact that Portage, Ohio is a largely unknown village of just 438 people vs. a county of 163,000 people. I also checked the viewer traffic for the two articles and Portage, Ohio has gotten 241 hits in the last 30 days while this article had 1,991 in the same time period. Portage County is more likely to be confused with Portage County, Wisconsin than the village of Portage. Hatnotes are very useful tools, but should only be used if there is an obvious potential for confusion, say, if Portage, Ohio was a large, well-known city. Now, having the hatnote in the Portage, Ohio article is justified since people may be looking for the county, but seems unlikely given the viewer traffic that people who come to this article are looking for the village. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 00:06, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
