Combine with Kansas City metropolitan area

Why is there a Kansas City, Missouri page, and a Kansas City metropolitan area page?

They aren't the same thing.

Molasses in Kansas City barbecue sauce

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.

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.)

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.

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. Marketstel (talk) 03:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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. Forgchum046 (talk) 16:19, 17 December 2018 (UTC) Forrest[reply]

Two images

File:Location of Kansas and Missouri River along with location in proximity to Kansas.jpg
File:Population Density map of Kansas City by zip code.jpg

User:Flyingsquirrel1234 has been adding the two images (located to the right) to the article, to both the lead and the infobox. This editor has also been deleted the pushpin map from the infobox. I have reverted this edit a few times, but seek the input of other editors. The content of the image is unsourced original research, and the image, per MOS:IMAGES, are blurry and low quality. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:38, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you guys can compromise. The picture with the labeled rivers should stay where it is because it’s related to the text. but I think one of you should move the population density map to Demographics. It looks fairly accurate to me based on the population density of the cities in those areas. I’ll just move it there for you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Midwestman1986 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the density map to demographics where it should be. I don’t think he understand how a pushpin map works. He was complaining about there being 2 pictures of Missouri. The image in the lead should stay there because it does complement the lead well. That’s what he intended to do I think they were good faith edits. He also edited on Kansas City metropolitan area page and added the county codes along with a more recent map.
