Mishawaka has a sister city that should be listed- Shiojiri Japan... it has a park in commemoration of this relationship.

I reverted to the last edit - if it's "not a suburb", perhaps the term exurb would be more appropriate? Alex 04:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to check the stress is on the mish, not on the wa, and that the wa has the vowel of body, not of father. kwami (talk) 08:56, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
It's pronounced "Mish. Ah. Wah. Kah." - I live here. AndrewDBarker (talk) 15:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Will continue to remove the wrestling reference after high school football for the following reason. Although there is no doubt a great wrestling (as well as volleyball) tradition in Mishawaka high schools, the reference is solely about football. While wrestling is big, the three Mishawaka high schools have won a combined 11 state football championships since 1920, an amazing feat, one that dwarfs the number of state championships by all other of the city's sports teams combined. The wiki article points out that Mishawaka, per capita, is perhaps the most succesful football city in the state over nearly a century. The wrestling reference dilutes this point.
The above comment is not an opinion. It is fact. Edit warring will be subject to review.
The legend section has been created so as not to confuse histroy with legend. Wrestling and volleball now have there own sentence. Sister cities have now been added. (See below)
With due respect to posters, it is not petty editing. The section reads as if the legend is history, when in fact, research has proven it is certainly almost all untrue. (See historian Merle Blue's work on the subject at the public library.) It dilutes the actually history of the city. Since it is a "story," it probably doesn't belong at all. Sectioning it off is a nice compromise.
Penn High School does indeed have a Mishawaka address. All state championships have now been addresssed, including Mishawaka wrestling which COM is adamant about. Sister Cities is a great new addition. Schmucker is out as it should be (only one of many Middle Schools) and the Legend section is still included, although it is a dubious entry and poorly written. Reverting is now damaging good new material.
COM is not citing wrestling. Why? Because it is a fact. Citations are not possible for every single entry. BTW, the wrestling sentence is now in error as the number 11 refers to football titles. Open your mind COM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.133.201 (talk) 13:05, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
I am not terribly comfortable having a bit in the article about this, referenced to a somewhat POV primary source. Is there any secondary sourcing available? If not, I really think it should go. Gtwfan52 (talk) 00:14, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Some time during a wikibreak I took, this material but in a different form came back in. Still sourced only to the POV website, an obviously not reliable source. I have removed, both as imroperly sourced negative material and POV. John from Idegon (talk) 16:41, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi folks, I am Yassie (talk), who usually writes articles about U.S. cities onto Japanese Wikipedia.
Would you kindly please take these photos and upload onto Wikimedia Commons? Or, if you upload them onto English Wikipedia, I will move to Commons.
Thanks in advance! Yassie (talk) 21:09, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
I need to see if Swanson ES served parts of Mishawaka in the 2000s...
