Talk:List of people from Sedalia, Missouri

"People in red"

Over the last couple of days I have expanded the "Sedalia people" listing. I recognize that a large number of the additions are "in red"; however, given the obvious "general eminence", or the plain "historical importance" of many of those that have been added (e.g. George Rappeen Smith, John H. Parker, Allen Percival Green, Raymond Peter Brandt, George A. Whiteman, etc.), I suggest that the preponderance of "people in red" should be considered to be a Wiki-problem (rather than being a problem of the people themselves) -- namely, that these people have not yet had Wiki-articles created for them (whilst, at the same time, being far from "non-eminent" or "non-important" people) -- and I feel that they certainly do warrant a place here. We can just hope that they get dedicated articles soon. Lindsay658 (talk) 14:42, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Mayors of Sedalia

On 16 February I removed both "?: Odell E. Jackson (1913-1983)" and "1954: Elmer C. Sumners" and from the section, Mayors of Sedalia (see [1]) on the basis that they were not cited as mayors of Sedalia in the list supplied in Ihrig, et al. (1960), p.119.

My original decision to list "Elmer C. Sumners" was based on the entry at The Political Graveyard Index to Politicians: Sumners to Sutor; namely:

Sumners, Elmer C. — of Sedalia, Pettis County, Mo. Mayor of Sedalia, Mo., 1954. Still living as of 1954.

Given that the Index also listed John Finis Philips, O. B. Poundstone, Herb Studer, Jerry N. Jones, and Allen L. Hawkins as Mayors of Sedalia, I assumed that its record of Elmer C. Sumners 1954 was correct; however, given that Ihrig, et al.’s The First One Hundred Years, A History of the City of Sedalia, Missouri, 1860-1960 was published under the auspices of Sedalia’s Centennial History Committee, I believe that, in the absence of any other evidence, the information provided in Ihrig, et al. should stand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindsay658 (talk • contribs) 10:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Kim Anderson

I think calling Kim Anderson a "basketball star" is stretching the term quite a bit. Looking at his page, it appears he played in Europe for a few years and 1 season in the NBA. I've changed 'star' to 'player'.Jtyroler (talk) 08:22, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
