Kinkaid Act
Nice work expanding the Kinkaid Act article. Are you (mostly) done with it? If so, I'll give it a new rating: it's definitely gone beyond stub status.

If you're still working on it, you might want to see what effect rain/drought cycles had on the fate of Kinkaiders. In working up the article on Banner County, Nebraska, I discovered that the Kinkaiders settled during wet years, when crop-raising was feasible, but then had to sell out during a period of drought. My source for this was the history section of the Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey for Banner County, available via the Nebraska State Historical Society's website.

Keep up the good work; we need more editors working on Nebraska-history articles, and you've done a very decent job on this one. Ammodramus (talk) 23:10, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm done with it for now. Thanks, for the input.  I'll look into your link.  Andrewandrew333 (talk) 14:49, 3 May 2012 (UTC)(User talk:Andrewandrew3333)


 * I'll look through the article and give it a new rating.


 * It looks like you're relatively new to editing WP, so if you don't mind, I'll make a few suggestions concerning talk pages. First, if you're responding to someone who's left a comment at your own talk page, it's a good idea to put your response at his/her talk page, or at least leave a note saying that there's a reply at yours.  This is because people will often post a note at your page, but then not put it on their watchlist, so they won't know that you've replied there.  Second, if you're participating in an ongoing discussion at a talk page, putting colons at the beginning of a paragraph will indent it&mdash;a little more for each additional colon.  (You can see how I've put a colon in front of your reply to my original message, then two colons in front of this re-reply.)  That makes it easier to see who's writing what.


 * Belatedly, welcome to WP, and I hope you're enjoying your experience as an editor. I won't pretend to be an old hand, but if you've got any questions about it or run into any difficulties, feel free to leave a line at my talk page (start a new section at the bottom), and I'll do what I can to help.
