Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?

[edit] Latter day saints
Someone added, and some one else removed, without explanation this para. "This county is where, some time in this millennium, every faithful and able-to-travel member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will gather to await the Second Coming of Christ. This is also where the Saints will build up the New Jerusalem, or Zion, after the Great Destruction."

[edit] Westport vs. Westport Landing
I note that the article refers to the establishment of Westport Landing in 1838 and goes on to describe Westport Landing as "today's Westport". The article on Westport, linked from here, also describes Westport as having been founded "on the Missouri River." I believe that both of these statements are incorrect, as Westport the town is centered on the intersection of Westport Road and Broadway, about 4 miles south of the Missouri River; Westport Landing was established precisely to provide a landing on the Missouri from which goods could be transported to the town. Westport and the Town of Kansas/City of Kansas/Kansas City remained separate municipalities until 1896, when the expanding Kansas City absorbed Westport into itself. The area that was Westport Landing is today's River Market. I have edited this article accordingly. As for my qualifications to edit this, check my user page.
