Archway not really a bridge
What text originally said --"Archway Monument is an enclosed pedestrian bridge that spans" --Its not a bridge its an attraction for sure but you don't cross to the to other side, and come out. Inside it circles back to the beginning. If its called a bridge its a bridge back to where you started not the other side. Its an indoor museum. That just happens to span the interstate. I went ahead and changed it to museum that spans interstate 80. --Xiahou 23:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

i added stuff about UNK and a list of parks and schools taht are in or around Kearney
A paragraph about UNK was need here because UNK is a part of Kearney their for needs a mention in the Kearney Article and the Archway Mounument is a musiam not a bridge and they keep their lights on 24/7 i can see it from my house mile a way clear as day

Kearney West High School
KWHS is also home to the Youth Rehabilition and Treatment Center. Here is a list of search results for the address of 2802 30th Ave, Kearney, NE from MSN (This is the same address as KWHS. I have added it back to the article with a citation to a reliable website. Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 19:12, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

UNK
A paragraph will suffice, will someone explain how a list of the Greek system at UNK is useful to this article? --Fredddie™ 04:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. A brief paragraph on location, size, and enrollment, with a link to the main article on UNK.

Tornadoes
Need references for this section. Also, should it be expanded to cover Kearney's meteorological history? I suspect that 2008 wasn't the first time that the city was hit by tornadoes.

1733 Ranch barn
I removed a rather lengthy section on the 1733 Ranch barn. It didn't seem particularly relevant to an article on Kearney; it consisted largely of a long quote from one uncited source; and it wasn't formatted at all. If the 1733 Ranch is Wikipedia-worthy, it should be given its own article, with a one-sentence reference and a link in the Kearney article.

1900 population decline
I removed this sentence:

"The decline in population in the 1900 census has been attributed to Chinese migration and the effects of the Chinese ExclusionAct of 1882 in Nebraska and Colorado. "

The source cited doesn't support the statement at all: it refers to the decline in Chinese population in the Great Plains, not to the population of Kearney (or the Midwest generally). It states that in 1890, two Chinese lived in Kearney, which makes it unlikely that the Chinese Exclusion Act caused a population decline of several thousand in the city over the next decade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ammodramus (talk • contribs) 03:51, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Overlapping formatting on Pop. History section
I can't quite figure out how to fix the historical population table that overlaps the section "edit" link or the other picture, but someone who knows how should fix it. Brett Buck (talk) 04:04, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Erroneous entry
Under the "History" section is the following sentence:

"Eventually, Brandt Spath had an accident in his pants during an American Legion baseball game."

This would appear to be a prank against an individual. Can someone please review? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.74.250.10 (talk) 15:59, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
