I did a search test for Ypsilanti on Wikipedia to find articles that have "Ypsilanti" in the name, and there were some on there, we should transform the Ypsilanti redirect article into a disambiguation for people name Ypsilanti in addition to the city in Michigan. -- SuperDude 03:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
I grew up in Ypsilanti and I can assure you it was established in 1823, not 1825 as your article suggests.
I would also like to add that locals refer to it is "Ypsi" for short.
Tom Monaghan's Domino's Pizza did start in Ypsilanti. When he obtained 3 locations he created his logo. 2 Ann Arbor locations and 1 Ypsilanti location. Thats why the domino in the logo has 2 dots on one section and 1 dot on the other.
During a period the mid 1800's, after the Chicago Road was completed, Ypsilanti was the largest city between Detroit and Chicago. Ypsilanti was the second most populated city in Michigan for a few years in that same time period.
An anon added that Woodruff's Grove was incorporated as a village. Is there any citation to support this?

The article currently says "Ypsilanti was rated by GQ magazine as having the 'Fanciest Gents in Southeastern Michigan.'" but a google search didn't turn anything up with that text aside from this article page. I added a citation request to hopefully get the month and year of the issue of GQ in question. Georgehotelling 19:39, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I went back to the history and found that the edit was the only one from that IP, so I killed it. Georgehotelling 19:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Cleary University used to be in Pittsfield Twp., neighboring Ypsilanti, but moved to northeast Ann Arbor several years ago. The site of the old Cleary building is now occupied by a Walgreen's. I edited the education section to remove Cleary and add Ave Maria College, which is right next door to Eastern Michigan University. (Ave Maria College is slated to close in conjunction with the establishment a few years ago of Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida.)

Putting WAAM at the top of the radio station list takes the list out of order by band/frequency, but doesn't put it in alphabetic order. Thus, I put it back at the bottom to preserve the original order. Nburden 04:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
The Ypsilanti Courier is not headquartered in Belleville anymore. There was a consolidation, and the Western region paper are now run out of the Saline office.

i see 2 different pronunciations, the latter being IPA (and stated as) but what is the first one? Ypsilanti is a Greek name, is that a transliteration of the Greek spelling? ...Patrick ( talk, cntrb.) 02:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I added a sentence about the Shadow Art Fair at the end of the first culture paragraph. I think it's one of the distinguishing events that happen here in Ypsi, which thankfully doesn't have anything to do with really old cars. I think it could be re-worded to flow more with the paragraph, if anyone feels inspired. Also, do we still feel that the Ypsi arts scene is "underground"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Five55555 ( talk • contribs) 21:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
As you will see from the "Nicknames" section, the controversy over the word Ypsitucky (and whether or not it should still be considered offensive, since the younger generation are trying to claim the name back with pride) this is beginning to hit the media now.
I am wondering whether or not it deserves a page of its own. 8,720 ghits and increasing.
At the very least, the search-term Ypsitucky should be diverted to here in the meantime. Tris2000 ( talk) 10:22, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

"Supernatural" TV series part 8 in 3rd series took place in this town ("A Very Supernatural Christmas" was the title). Maybe it could be added to "In popular culture" section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.157.141 ( talk) 20:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I remember from sociology (a while back, I admit) the famed study (late 40s early 50s, I believe) of the Three Christs of Ypsilanti, a study of three men of the city who each believed himself to be Jesus Christ. In an experiment, the three were introduced to each other to see what effect this would have on the delusion. Characteristically, each of the three understood and forgave the other two for impersonating him (Him?). If verifiable sources can be found linking this, does it deserve mention or inclusion here? 75.216.153.25 ( talk) 03:17, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

This is a quick note about an overlooked matter on the Ypsilanti page. We can discuss the phallic buildings but not about Rosie the Riveter. Although there is specific uncertainty about the factual identity of Rosie, there is mass agreement that she did indeed work in Ypsilanti off the Willow Run exit. If this information is not added soon, than I will do the necessary research with citations. I am merely surprised that under the lists of famous people from Ypsi or the history section there is no mention of Rosie the Riveter. Whether or not this person was real, the history and debate is. Thus, it is necessary to have some mention of Rosie the Riveter on the Ypsilanti page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmrandal1711 ( talk • contribs) 17:29, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Can someone please add an IPA pronunciation? "Yps-il-anti" and "IP-si-LAN-tee" look pretty much the same to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:AB88:50C3:1880:4CA3:D8E5:58D0:1FEF ( talk) 22:25, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
I'd like to add a section in the history subsections that include information about the Underground Railroad activities in Ypsilanti. I've drafted the following summary as a start to this section.
In 1841, Maryann and John Starkweather, appointed Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction, purchased 160 acres of land 11/2 miles north of Ypsilanti and moved into a Greek Revival style farmhouse. This house served as a safe house for slaves en route to Canada on the Underground Railroad. The Starkweathers collaborated with inventor Elijah McCoy and his family to support these efforts. Other stops in the region included Pittsfield township and Ann Arbor.
