Note on disambiguation of Sault Saint Marie

edit

I received (on my user talk page) a disambiguation notification from the DPL bot, which is normal. However, in the case of Sault Saint Marie I am leaving it to point at the disambiguation page, because as it explains there at one time it was a cross-border community and it makes no sense to point to the community in Ontario versus the community in Michigan for the purposes of the Daniel Whitney article. What is really needed is a Sault Saint Marie (historical) article, but I don't want to go there right now.

Something similar could be said for Mackinaw, since historically Mackinaw covered both shores and the island. However, in Whitney's time most of the trading was done on the island, so it is a little more specific.
