Should Kansas City be treated as one city which straddles a border, like Niagara Falls? -(WT-en) phma 18:54, 10 Mar 2004 (EST)

WikiPedia:List_of_counties_in_Kansas has a map.

This is not a proposal to create guides for any individual counties; the purpose is to define which district guides cover which counties, so that when towns/cities etc articles are created they can easily be breadcrumbed directly to the correct district guides. ~ 203.144.143.8 15:44, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

The 21st amendment
In Drink, the article says:
 * "Kansas has three dry counties, and the state has not ratified the 21st amendment as of 2020."

I feel the mentioning of the amendment is annoying to foreigners. Should we have studied local law history before reading this article? To be useful, it should be explained, and I don't know whether it hasn't been ratified because it overturned the total ban or because it still allows dry counties, or a combination. Perhaps it should be replaced with a discussion on people's attitudes towards alcohol.

A few words might also be warranted in United States of America. It does mention dry counties, but doesn't mention reservations (I've understood those are dry) and doesn't discuss local attitudes in dry counties, or where getting non-dry has been a subject of conflicts.

 * I agree. Apart from the 1st and 2nd amendments, most non-Americans would have no idea what the 21st amendment is. SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 08:54, 29 April 2023 (UTC)


 * In any case, the 21st Amendment is the law of the land, and it is of no legal significance that it was not ratified by this or that state. Besides, that amendment specifically leaves decisions on whether to allow or ban the importation of alcoholic beverages to states and territories. See Section 2 at this link.
