Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The
WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
Someone added, and some one else removed, without explanation this para. "This county is where, some time in this millennium, every faithful and able-to-travel member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will gather to await the Second Coming of Christ. This is also where the Saints will build up the New Jerusalem, or Zion, after the Great Destruction." Rich Farmbrough 10:57 8 April 2006 (UTC).
I note that the article refers to the establishment of Westport Landing in 1838 and goes on to describe Westport Landing as "today's Westport". The article on Westport, linked from here, also describes Westport as having been founded "on the Missouri River." I believe that both of these statements are incorrect, as Westport the town is centered on the intersection of Westport Road and Broadway, about 4 miles south of the Missouri River; Westport Landing was established precisely to provide a landing on the Missouri from which goods could be transported to the town. Westport and the Town of Kansas/City of Kansas/Kansas City remained separate municipalities until 1896, when the expanding Kansas City absorbed Westport into itself. The area that was Westport Landing is today's River Market. I have edited this article accordingly. As for my qualifications to edit this, check my user page.

The usage of "breakaway" to describe non-Utah LDS churches is inappropriate for this article. Both the Community of Christ and Temple Lot churches, together with the Restoration Branches, Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, "Elijah Message", Fettingite and Cutlerite churches (just to name a few) each consider themselves to be the legitimate continuation of Joseph Smith's original organization, and the Utah LDS church to be the "breakaway". In the interests of NPOV, I have reworded this article to eliminate such references altogether. - Ecjmartin ( talk) 20:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
User We R LDS recently made some good edits to this article, though I believe that a lot of the material he/she included was extraneous to a basic article on Jackson County. Though very interesting stuff, it's a bit "too much" for the overall scope of this piece; may I suggest that it be incorporated into a separate article, perhaps entitled "Latter Day Saint Views on the Garden of Eden," "The Latter Day Saint New Jerusalem," or something similar? - Ecjmartin ( talk) 02:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments, and thanks for understanding the spirit and purpose behind my recent edits to your material. I agree with what you say about the need for the Wikipedia record on this subject to be modified. I think that an article encompassing Latter Day Saint beliefs about Zion, past and present, might be useful. In fact (this just occurred to me to look; I don't know why it didn't before!), it appears that such an article already exists: Zion (Latter Day Saints). The general article on Zion also contains a short summary on the subject that refers the reader back to the first article I mentioned above. I'm bogged down in some other projects at present, but might I suggest that perhaps you check out the Zion (Latter Day Saints) article, if you haven't already done so, and consider adding your information there? The entire article seems to be presently composed from an exclusively Utah LDS viewpoint; I think adding a separate section to explain the specifically RLDS approach to this doctrine (not to mention the smaller sects; I was a Cutlerite once, and we never mentioned the Adam and Eve thing, but believed strongly in the New Jerusalem concept!) might be useful, especially when you consider all of the different RLDS approaches that have emerged over time (Fred Smith's vision, the contemporary mainline-RLDS vision vs. the Restoration Branch vision of Zion, etc.). I think it would make for interesting reading, and that particular article seems to be the place to put it. I, for one, would be very interested in seeing it! Cheers, and good luck! - Ecjmartin ( talk) 11:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Just wondering why at two points on the Jackson County, MO page there is a period after the "S" in reference to Harry S Truman.
There is no period after the "S" in his name. His name is simply Harry S Truman. He did not have a middle name, just a middle initial. 209.118.71.66 ( talk) 14:27, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
