Talk:Nodaway County, Missouri

Untitled
Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

The article List of Missouri county name etymologies now says that the Otoe (tribe) term "nadowa" means "snake." The former definition comes from Robert L. Ramsay, who is the standard place-name authority in Missouri. What is the currently accepted etymology? --Marcusscotus1 19:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the gentle prompt. I have added an etymology section to Nodaway River.Americasroof 17:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Moves to delete the Spoofhound and Maryville High School
If you want to see a dispiriting course of wiki vindictiveness. See the discussions to delete the Spoofhound and Maryville High School. They will probably both be deleted unless something is said. Americasroof 06:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE THE HIGHSCHOOL AND SPOOFHOUND PAGES. I know of several things that need to be changed, added, and corrected on these pages but they definitly need to stay. I graduated from this school in 2005

Fair use rationale for File:Skidmore-daylight-dvd.jpg
File:Skidmore-daylight-dvd.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Crime section
This section was recently deleted in toto, which I reverted, feeling it was better to add refs wherever possible and failing that, to excise unsourced portions. The section as it stands is far from perfect, but seems to be headed in the right direction. Hushpuckena (talk) 16:33, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm concerned about the opening statement, "Nodaway County was on the frontier in its earliest days and has a long history of violence." It's a truism that gather enough people in one place, & someone will be murdered; that's just an unpleasant fact of humans. Crime exists in every county of the US However, doing some back-of-the-envelope calculations, Nodaway is not by any measure murder capital of the US. This section documents 20 murders over 130 year, or roughly one each 6 years; over that period, Nodaway has an average population of about 25,000 -- some years it's been more, some less; this brings us to a murder rate of about 1 per 100,000. According to the Wikipedia article, the murder rate for the US in all is 4.7 for 2012; 1 per 100,000 is more typical of countries like the U.K. or France, which aren't notorious for being violent places to live in. Unless someone can add further evidence to support highlighting all of these murder cases in this article, it should be trimmed back to include only the most notorious cases, & the opening reworded to something more neutral. -- llywrch (talk) 19:24, 30 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I've just restored one of these, removed as "slander". However I can't see much in favour of keeping the entire section. None are particularly notable in their own right. As it is, it's a rather arbitrary list giving the impression that Nodaway county is somehow exceptionally violent. I don't believe that it is exceptionally so, there certainly aren't sources to support that. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
