January 2006 edits

Why should this article be in the :Category:Human geography and the :Category:Biogeography, and not every other river in the world? Like say the Amazon River or the Yukon River? The text of the article makes no mention of either of the topics. I'd revert the edits, but the user who added them (User:RJBurkhart) seems to revert them right back... so I don't know. -- Malepheasant 08:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Right, nobody in the world should be expected to know where Hillsdale is, and this "talk page" is entirely secondary to the encyclopedia entry for the Marais des Cygnes River. Please couldn't you at least write a sentence in a paragraph about biogeography and human geography for the article (the Marais des Cygnes River, not the talk page) if you wish to include this article in those categories? -- Malepheasant 09:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:: Since 1999, the Kansas Water Office (KWO) with Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE) have "championed" community stewardship efforts to preserve & protect water quality via multiple river orienteering programs like [http://www.kansasriver.com Friend of the Kaw] and bioneering interdisciplinary K-State Extension initiatives.

  • Also, National Audubon Society, among various external links, was added to the "see also" list, but the National Audobon Society article makes no mention of (this river); and this article makes no mention (apart from the "see also" list to which it was added) of the National Audobon Society; so I don't know what one has to do with the other. -- Malepheasant 10:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I can say, though with a bit of panache, that the plages along the Marais des Cygnes Rivr are wonderful and there is no rapine there.94.181.66.117 (talk) 10:18, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
