[edit] Malone's On Main
This place sounds great, but it is most definitely an ad for the place, and not an appropriate listing under the, "cuisine" section of this article. It goes so far as to add a phone number and a website to the place. It needs to be edited down.
The historical aspects of the restaurant are interesting and can be formulated to sound more like an encyclopedia entry, but much of the rest of it should be removed, in my opinion.
[edit] F*Bombs
These guys really shouldn't be mentioned in the article. I don't think most people in Sedalia even know who they are--Are they even playing together anymore? Pretty obviously added by one of the band members.
[edit] TV Show Emergency
At 18:35, on 10 February 2008, a user from 216.74.215.136 made the following contribution to the "Movies" section:
In 1975, on the hit T.V show Emergency, fire fighter/paramedic Johnny Gage claims to have found a gear off a(n) abandon herse in Sedalia.
- I have been able to identify the show as Emergency! (with a "!").
- I have been able to identify the character as John Roderick "Johnny" Gage.
- I have been unable to determine whether the typo "herse" really should have been "horse" or "hearse" -- and, as a consequence, the term "gear" remains ambiguously equivocal.
- Also "a gear off" makes it even more ambiguous: does it mean "the gear of an abandoned horse", or "a gear from an abandoned hearse"?
- A check at [1], and working through all of the episode summaries (i.e., not just those for 1975), fails to reveal any mention of "gear" or "hearse" or "Sedalia", and none of the mentions of "horse" make any sense in relation to the description given.
- I have removed the contribution from the user at 216.74.215.136 pending clarification of this matter.
- Also, once clarified, and the series, episode, and year have been correctly identified, it is obvious that the new corrected contribution should appear in the "TV" section, not the "Movies" section. 149.171.241.63 (talk) 21:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

- Also, it is not clear from 216.74.215.136's contribution which "Sedalia" the TV show referred to. It may not have been Sedalia, Missouri, but could have been Sedalia, Kentucky, Sedalia, Virginia, Sedalia, West Virginia, Sedalia, North Carolina, Sedalia, South Carolina Sedalia, Indiana, or Sedalia, Ohio. Therefore the location of the "Sedalia" mentioned also needs to be confirmed as "Sedalia, Missouri". 149.171.241.1 (talk) 23:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
