Copyright and NPOV[edit]

Recently, a large portion of the history page from the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce web site was pasted into the article. website While the editors intentions were in the right place unless this editor is a member of the chamber of commerce with the authority to release this information into the public domain it cannot be inserted in its entirety.

As the page was written by the chamber of commerce it also did not follow the NPOV.

Literary History Statement[edit]

What's going on with the last three sentences of the fourth paragraph? Is that vandalism?

Missing a famous local native of Warrensburg.[edit]

I was wondering why Butch Reed the wrestling champion is not listed as a famous local native of Warrensburg. His bio is in the Wikipedia as being from Warrensburg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.40.190.14 (talk) 04:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Animal Planet Man's Best Friend movie[edit]

There was once a movie about the court case where the "Man's best friend" phrase came from on Animal Planet. It ended with a shot of a guy standing in front of a court house (that was definitely not the actual Warrensburg court house) and an Old Drum statue (not the actual Old Drum statue) and a voice over about the whole Man's best friend thing and the Warrensburg court house.

I'm not trying to add this to the main page partly because it's minor but mostly because I can't find any links just at the moment and I don't generally edit Wikipedia pages so I'd probably just munge it up in any case.

If I find links later, I'll edit this Talk entry to add them. PragmaticallyWyrd (talk) 17:37, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notable People[edit]

I added my son as a Notable Person and some deleted it so I added it again. My son Johnny Buehler is from Warrensburg MO. In 2021 he won the All-American Local Stock World Championship in Akron Ohio. He is the youngest Soap Box Derby racer in the 83 year history to win this title…he was 8 years old when he won. I think thats notable. Yes, he didn’t go to UCM but he’s only 9 years old.

Thank you for your edits. Notable people lists are generally to list people who meet Wikipedia's definition of notability, which usually means an article exists on the person. While quite the accomplishment for your son (and I also happen to live just 20 minutes from Akron, so am quite familiar with the Soap Box Derby), that doesn't necessarily mean he's notable per Wikipedia since notability has several criteria. Be sure to read them and inquire about creating an article if you think the article would meet those criteria. Also be sure to note the section at WP:SUSTAINED, which says "If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual." Another good starting point is the Wikipedia guideline for notability of people at WP:PEOPLE, particularly WP:SPORTSPERSON and WP:1E, which deal with people in sports and people who are known for a single event. Any questions, feel free to ask at my talk page. --JonRidinger (talk) 13:11, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
