Hyatt Regency Disaster

The current text describes the Hyatt Regency disaster as the worst in US history other than 9/11. This is absurd. The Hyatt skywalks collapsed in a scenario that was entirely within the design parameters for that building, and was due to epic incompetence. The World Trade towers collapsed because two jets were flown into them, which was outside of the design parameters. The Hyatt skywalk collapse remains the worst architectural disaster in US history, and should be identified that way.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.131.93 (talk) 20:56, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The actual line used in the article is that it is the deadliest structural collapse in US history aside from 9/11. It does not speak to the cause of the structural collapse. CensoredBiscuit (talk) 05:48, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interactive Map

In the side panel of this page, there is an "interactive map" of outlining the borders of KCMO. Its a nice feature the only problem is that it includes in the within the boundary of KCMO, North Kansas City, Birmingham and Gladstone which are distinct municipalities not part of Kansas City. CensoredBiscuit (talk) 05:40, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The economy section notes:

One of the largest US drug manufacturing plants is the Sanofi-Aventis plant in south Kansas City on a campus developed by Ewing Kauffman's Marion Laboratories.

This is incorrect, the plant has been closed down for nearly a decade.

This section should be updated to reflect this.

Change "Jonathan Duncan" to "Johnathan Duncan" 136.37.31.220 (talk) 20:55, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: no reason given for the proposed change. M.Bitton (talk) 21:05, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is that "Jonathan" is a misspelling of his name. It's spelled "Johnathan".

-== Molasses in Kansas City barbecue sauce ==
+== Semi-protected edit request on 19 October 2024 ==
-Besides the fact that the description of Arthur Bryant taking over Henry Perry's barbecue stand needs to be rewritten to make it clear that Perry opened his stand after migrating from Memphis in 1921 ''and'' that it was Perry's ''sauce'' that got molasses added to it, I think I need to take issue with the description of both it and Gates' sauce as containing molasses, let alone more molasses.
+{{Edit semi-protected|Kansas City, Missouri|answered=yes}}
-Gates' sauce uses brown sugar as a sweetener. (Granted, brown sugar is merely refined white sugar to which molasses has been added back, but it's still not the same as molasses.) And Gates' Original sauce lacks the sweetness of KC Masterpiece, which is heavy on the molasses. Nor did Bryant use molasses in his sauce; the ingredient list on bottles of Bryant's Original sauce list "sugar" among the "seasonings" used. (One unusual ingredient it contains: lard.)
+Change "Jonathan Duncan" to "Johnathan Duncan" [[Special:Contributions/136.37.31.220|136.37.31.220]] ([[User talk:136.37.31.220|talk]]) 20:55, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

-Neither Gates' Original nor Bryant's Original has the cloying sweetness of KC Masterpiece or most of the sauces identified as "Kansas City-style" outside the city - or, for that matter, several of the Kansas City sauces developed in Masterpiece's wake, such as Cowtown. Both companies added sweeter sauces to their product lines ''after'' KC Masterpiece became a big national seller. To this day, most better barbecue sauces in the city, such as Q39, don't have the pronounced sweetness of Masterpiece, though they are sweeter than either Bryant's or Gates' original sauces.
+::The reason is that "Jonathan" is a misspelling of his name. It's spelled "Johnathan".
+::Source:
-Gates', in fact, is noteworthy for its spiciness relative to other "regular" KC sauces: when it introduced a sweeter version, it was labeled Sweet & Mild.

-I will alter the passage in the main article accordingly.
-As to where I claim authority, check my bona fides. I was born and raised in Kansas City and ate my share of both Gates' and Bryant's Q growing up (I generally prefer Gates). I return home fairly regularly to boot. [[User:Marketstel|Marketstel]] ([[User talk:Marketstel|talk]]) 03:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
-== in 2014, a white supremacist opened fire outside a Jewish Community Center in a suburb of Kansas City, Mo., killing three people ==
-A spokesman for the A.D.L. said that before Saturday’s shooting the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in recent United States history was in 1985, when a man killed a family of four in Seattle. He had mistakenly thought that they were Jewish. More recently, in 2014, a white supremacist opened fire outside a Jewish Community Center in a suburb of Kansas City, Mo., killing three people.

-== Error in link to Washington Square Park ==
-As of Dec 17, 2018, the link to "Washington Square Park" is obviously not correct.
-It links to a park of the same name in New York City, New York.
-One correct link for Kansas City's Washington Square Park would be as follows:
-https://kcparks.org/places/washington-square-park/
-My suggested link takes the reader to an official KC government web site.  It seems to me the info on the recommended site would be appropriate and useful.  Forrest
