The tag suggesting "cleanup" of "references"[edit]
I have doubts about the tag suggesting "cleanup" of "references" may be needed. The sources in this article are primarily the most prominent and appropriate for the subject: The leading newspapers of Kansas -- particularly rural Kansas, where Steckline's prominence is most significant. These include the principal newspapers of most of Kansas' largest cities:
- Topeka Capital-Journal (the state capital's leading newspaper, one of the state's two principal newspapers of record)
- Lawrence Journal-World
- Salina Journal (one of the state's two principal rural hubs)
- Hutchinson News (one of the state's two principal rural hubs)
- Garden City Telegram (article from the Associated Press)
- Wichita Eagle (the state's largest newspaper -- one of the state's two principal newspapers of record -- and oldest newspaper of the state's largest city)
- High Plains Journal the principal regional rural newspaper of Kansas and surrounding plains states, and the region's foremost newspaper for agricultural topics (Steckline's field).
Primary sources have generally only been used where they are the obvious foremost authority, and their publication is essentially self-documenting (e.g.: Statements from organizations giving awards to Steckline, used only as proof they did; press releases by government officials declaring they have appointed Steckline to a post, used only as proof that they did; press releases or statements from various enterprises identifying Steckline's roles within their organization, etc.) -- not as sources for controversial or debatable assertions.
