The Marching Band state in Kentucky selected in the 2019 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

The Second Time Arounders Marching Band, St. Petersburg, Florida; Pulaski High School Red Raider Marching Band, Wisconsin and One More Time Around Again Marching Band, Portland, Oregon are applying for the 2019 Macy's Parade!

That's nice, but it's hardly definitive of the state itself. Surely you aren't proposing adding this to the article on the state of Kentucky? Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 18:29, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

This is block evasion by a long-term disruptive editor. Meters (talk) 20:26, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

First sentence of music section

The first sentence of the music section in this article reads, "The breadth of music in Kentucky is indeed wide, stretching from the Purchase to the eastern mountains." I don't understand what this means (otherwise I would try to fix it). Can someone help? 206.248.156.150 (talk) 19:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

I agree that the sentence was strange. I just deleted it. —BarrelProof (talk) 21:07, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Edit request

Information to be added or removed: I propose adding the below text in quotes to the education section of the page:

"Kentucky ranked 35th in the nation for educational performance, according to Education Week’s Quality Counts 2018 report. It earned an overall score of 72.5 out of 100 points and a grade of C-minus. By comparison, the nation received a score of 75.2 or a C.

Kentucky posted a C in the Chance-for-Success category, ranking 37th on factors that contribute to a person’s success both within and outside the K-12 education system. Kentucky received a mark of C-minus and finished 33rd for School Finance. It ranked 31st with a grade of C-minus on the K-12 Achievement Index."

Explanation of issue: I believe this text would enhance the page, adding information on the quality of the state's K-12 education which is not currently available on the page. I'm asking your consideration because I work for Education Week. I apologize if I've misformatted this or left out information you need to make a decision - I'm rather new at this.

References

• You'll need consensus for your change. Also, and admittedly I'm not that familiar with the suite of articles for Kentucky, most states have a daughter article specifically for education. If that's the case, this should likely be there. Daughter article or not, I see no reason to discuss one ranking for one year here. A discussion of historic trends may be appropriate in the right right place. John from Idegon (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
• Agree with John from Idegon (talk · contribs), and note that Kentucky does indeed have an Education in Kentucky daughter article where, if consensus dictates, this information should be added. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 19:31, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

• • Now that that has been clarified,  Not done. John from Idegon (talk) 19:47, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
