thread_title:  Important Notes Before Editing This Article 

message: Can we remove the citation from What's the Matter with Kansas? It has a clear negative POV. Caleiva 23:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of its POV, quoting that large a section of the book in the intro is probably more extensive than is allowed under fair use. I'll at least trim it down for starters. (ESkog)(Talk) 23:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Kansas Territory overland wagon trains followed watershed ridges westward from Westport, Kansas City along the John C. Fremont California Road stagecoach route.  
Roadside Kansas: A Traveler's Guide to Its Geology an Landmarks by Rex C. Buchanan and James R. McCauley (2010 2nd Ed.) cites the role of John C. Fremont in mapping historic transportation routes (p. 88 &140) ISBN: 978-0-7006-1700-5  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.124.121.113 (talk) 19:19, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Topography

message: >> Frémont first met frontiersman Kit Carson on a Missouri River steamboat in St. Louis during the summer of 1842. Frémont was preparing to lead his first expedition and was looking for a guide to take him to South Pass. Carson offered his services, as he had spent much time in the area. The five-month journey, made with 25 men, was a success.<< Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Fremont#Third_expedition  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.124.121.113 (talk) 19:23, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Relevance

message: I see the fact about Johnson County not supporting a democrat since Woodrow Wilson has been removed due to insufficient sources. I've verified this fact with a couple sources so I'm going to add it back. But as far as references go, I think I'm going to link the specific pages here on the talk page, because it seems a little obnoxious to list them all in the article since there are so many. I'll just list the main pages as references on the article. If anyone disagrees with that, let me know and i'll add all the refs to the article. Here we go:

replies: text: This sounds like the best idea; the reason that I removed it was that I searched as much of the site as I could find and I still couldn't see anything broken up by county except for the past few elections.  Nyttend (talk) 16:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool, thanks for fixing the links. You were certainly right to remove it as the original reference only goes back to 1960. Ryan2845 (talk) 19:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

message: A bit sick here but to me it looks like the Infobox is showing the area in both miles and kilometers.  It is showing the total, land, and water in both, but the metric land is more than the metric total. Infobox appears to automatically calculate this, so this is a strange discrepancy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 0w0 catt0s (talk • contribs) 17:41, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Glitch in the info box 

message: "Largely suburban, the county contains a number of suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri including Overland Park, the second most populous city in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area.[1] Its county seat is Olathe.[2]"
This is what the article states, however Kansas City, MISSOURI is not part of Johnson County, KANSAS. They aren't even the same state. I'm sure this must've been an accidental typo. Can someone please fix this? The article is locked to other Wikipedians. Sarah Stach (talk) 22:57, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: As you can read in the history section or in any number of good history books on the Kansas City region, Overland Park developed as bedroom community (suburb) of Kansas City, Missouri along the Stange Line-a train designed to take commuters into downtown Kansas City. Today it is one of the largest cities in Kansas, as the populations of suburbs boomed nationwide after WWII. Today it largely retains the suburban trails single family housing, corporate campuses and car-centric transportation. Most likely, and forgive me if you’re not, I think User:Sarah Stach is a female incarnation of User:Kansacitt1225. Grey Wanderer (talk) 23:08, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
