Hi,
I'm not sure I agree with changing this to place=suburb. The wiki says "Use place=suburb to identify a major area in a place=town or place=city with a distinct and recognized local name and identity" but these are not part of another city, they are cities (or towns, etc) on their own. Could you provide more rationale as to why you are changing so many of these to suburb?

Sure. There are a lot of places in Michigan that are unincorporated, and are therefore not cities, villages, or townships (the three legal entities recognized as political jurisdictions by the State). All other places are either Census Designated Places (CDPs) and/or a simple hamlet - in which case the place isn’t recognized by the State, nor the Census. In Jenison’s case, it is simply a CDP. It has no political jurisdiction as it doesn’t exist as a political entity. Georgetown Charter Township is the only political entity that exists for that area. Therefore, I classified it as a suburb instead of hamlet. But if you believe hamlet is a better term for Jenison, I wouldn’t disagree.

You're right, I forgot that Jenison is only a CDP. That's fine to have it as a suburb then
