Broken weather

Hi guys. This is a great article and the place sounds great. There's been a broken reference forever, for the NOAA weather data. The current broken name was inserted in 2016 here by CaradhrasAiguo and it was broken even then! I can't imagine why that edit was made. I don't know enough about weather to find a new NOAA source for this city, so can someone else do that? Does Grey Wanderer know? — Smuckola (talk) 04:22, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay cool, CaradhrasAiguo, how did you fix a named reference that isn't defined in the article just by renaming it? Is it sourced from wikidata or what manner of black magic voodoo is this? :) — Smuckola (talk) 04:38, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is a template transclusion. The issue of avoiding conflicts in reference names (avoiding commonplace names such as NOAA, NCDC, NOWData etc.) was raised in Sep 2016, I likely had been deluding myself that I had already altered the ref name in the template at the same time. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 04:41, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CaradhrasAiguo: Okay, what template? Where do I learn this incantation for other cities? Specifically, Kansas City, Missouri. The weather links are dead. — Smuckola (talk) 04:55, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CaradhrasAiguo: Hi, what's the name? Could I trouble you to fix weather citations on KCMO? thx — Smuckola (talk) 20:11, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If, by fixing, you mean corrupted citations, I don't see any there. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 01:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shooting....

Seen this matter on several news outlets. Was this a school shooting or workplace shooting, and can this be used in the article? Everything from KTVO to CNN covered this. Will look into this as well.Thanks. 🥺😘 Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 09:28, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All I've found happened in Nov. 2021, according to Google.😯 Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 09:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you've got the right city, is it possible you meant Columbia, South Carolina? Grey Wanderer (talk) 22:17, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

I am just curious, why did this even need to be clarified to begin with? How else would someone reasonably pronounce the word "Columbia"? Ribose carb (talk) 20:48, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consider how a Spanish speaker would pronounce the country "Colombia". I think the clarification is needed, especially because around 10% of the City of Columbia was not born in the United States. Grey Wanderer (talk) 21:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
