- Laflaneuse Born elsewhere but grew up in KCMO and lived there for 30+ years. Grew up in Gladstone, then lived in Quality Hill, a Nelle Peters apartment building on the Plaza, and Brookside.
- Rwiggum Born in Kansas City, MO. I've had an extensive hand in editing and maintaining the pages for and related to the KC native band The Get Up Kids including all of their albums, members, side-projects and etc. Rwiggum (Talk/Contrib)
- SakuraAvalon86User_talk:SakuraAvalon86 I was born in Kansas City, MO, and have lived here for 21 years. Interested in Downtown KC, Lee's Summit, Independence, and Raytown. -- 12:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Subversionarts Native Kansas Citian for 30+ years, raised in Raytown, resided in Independence, Liberty, North Kansas City, currently in Westport/Hyde Park. Interests: Kansas City renaissance, KC barbeque, City Beautiful movement and its lasting impact on the coming green revolution, Kansas City's growing regional influence, balanced views of the rebirth of downtown and its impacts on surrounding entertainment districts and Ollie Gates' sales tax moratorium proposal. Looking to see much larger regional transportation proposals, like say a bullet train linking Lawrence, KC, St Louis, Chicago, and also maybe New Orleans and Denver.
- nae'blis (work for KCMO, lived here five years. Also I'm an admin so I can deal with deleted pages if we need something that got lost) -- 17:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Reverend Loki (Currently live and work in KCMO, metro area resident for over 20 years) 18:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- KCMODevin (Resident of a Kansas City suburb, been watching/studying area development and architecture for 3 years. Interested in helping the pages regarding Downtown, Architecture and Local Development.)
- Hobbes747 (Born and raised in KC and lived there for 31 years. Currently living in Dallas but I miss it and working on the KC pages is cathartic. :P I used to work for the KCMO school district and so did my dad.)
- Chris Belton native. I want to help out with the geographic side of the Kansas City Area.
- americasroof Old and senile and wanting to dump my knowledge base on KC as the center of the world before I die (who else thinks KC's interurban is cool or can tell you what EMT really means??!!!). Don't even live in the city anymore but am considering a return since ill gotten gains elsewhere go further in the big Wheat Head field. Interests: transportation, civil war (Westport was actually biggest west (and probably most important) of the Mississippi believe it or not!), north of the river, history, hard facts about KC, agriculture heritage, Truman. Turn offs: the marauding "let's prune wikipedia" crowd who don't understand the joy of eventually connecting the dots even if the initial article is a stub or poorly written and unfortunately the excessive boosterists (whose closed mindedness reminded me of why I was glad at the time of leaving the city).

Categories
Every article on a Kansas City metropolitan area topic should be assigned to as specific a sub-category under the Category:Kansas City metropolitan area as possible, as well as to any non-history categories to which it belongs. Since Wikipedia has a lot of articles on Kansas City metropolitan area subjects, they shouldn't all be placed directly in Category:Kansas City metropolitan area; there is an hierarchy of categories, shown here, and only the lowest-level category need be assigned. |
