[edit] Sprint Returning to OP

It was announced today that Sprint will reconsolodate its world headquarters ocne again in Overland Park. I have slightly edited the businesses section to accomodate this recent change, however it may need some re-wording to make it flow correctly. Please make edits as news comes forward on the business moveKcuello (talk) 21:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Metro?

I saw that metro was included in overland park's infobox. Overland Park is not the anchor city of the Kansas City, MSA. That is Kansas City, Missouri. Therefore, since it is one of the many cities that make up that area, I have removed the statistic from the infobox, because that implies that Overland Park is the anchor city. Only Kansas City, Missouri, can have that statistic in it's infobox.

Shouldn't Esmie Tseng be mentioned? Why sigh, cutie pie? 19:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

If anyone starts a famous/notable residents section, Mamoru Imura is an Japanese inventor and businessman who lived in Overland Park from 2002 to 2006; he is currently living in Kobe, Japan, but still owns a residence in Overland Park, where he stays when visting on business.

[edit] Demographics

User:Sokkerstopper removed a reference in the Demographics section of this article, but did not explain why. I have reverted the removal, and would ask that any reason for removing it be elaborated upon here. Stack 21:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources please

Overland Park's sister city is in Germany. Does anyone have proof? Audi152 (talk) 02:38, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Yep, I added a reference from (http://www.opkansas.org/About-Overland-Park/Overland-Park-Sister-City-Bietigheim-Bissingen-Germany). Thanks. Grey Wanderer (talk) 02:42, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Elmhurst, Kansas

What is the history of Elmhurst, Kansas, and why does it redirect to OP? I've never heard of the town, is it like Rosedale or Shawnee-Mission or Blue Valley or Stanley , neighborhood names? It appeared on Google Earth.Moonraker0022 (talk) 02:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I can't find anything about it, other than a few maps including the google one you mentioned. It is very possible it is a neighborhood name, many of them do appear on google. I'm sure Elmhurst redirects to OP because the coordinates given in the original article were within OP and with such scant (no) sources it did/does not meet WP:Verifiability.
