History
Hoxie was laid out in early 1886. The town founders convinced the residents of Kenneth, a community three miles to the north and the current county seat, to move south (including their buildings) at their expense to the new site of Hoxie. The residents of Kenneth knew the coming rail line would pass through Hoxie and not their town as they had hoped, so the offer was promising. The towns agreed to consolidate and carry out that plan, making Hoxie the new county seat. It was named for H.M. Hoxie, a railroad official.

Goodland, Kansas

Goodland is a city in and the county seat of Sherman County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 4,465. It was named after Goodland, Indiana. Goodland is home to Northwest Kansas Technical College.

History
One of the earliest pieces of recorded history relating to Goodland concerns the Kidder Massacre. On July 2, 1867, a detachment of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment (United States) was massacred; second lieutenant Lyman S. Kidder in command of the party, a sergeant, a corporal, eight privates and an Indian guide lost their lives. They were carrying dispatches for Lieutenant Colonel George Custer. Later, Custer found evidence of a running battle along Beaver Creek, which led to a ravine where the remains were found. They had been killed by Cheyenne and/or Sioux Indians.

In 1886, there were four communities vying to become county seat for Sherman County: Itasca, Voltaire, Sherman Center and Eustis. A man named Clark showed up in the county in 1887 proposing to create a new town to settle the dispute. The new town was to be named Goodland. A vote for the county seat was held among the county population and Goodland won with 872 of the 1495 votes cast while with Eustis received 611 and Voltaire received 12. Citizens of Eustis declared that the votes were unfair but the state department said that nothing could be done as all the voting was complete. The Supreme Court of Kansas considered various proceedings but did not change the outcome of the vote. Eustis refused to yield the county records it held until January 13, 1888, when an armed group from Goodland seized the records and sent them to the new county seat.

Goodland sprang up around the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad that had been built through it. The town was named after Goodland, Indiana.

Talk:Amiga E

Talk:Programming_language -- Are we no longer going to fix the names of these articles? As far as I know everyone was agreed that languages should be titles nnnn programming language. Much conversation has gone on about this for a very long time and I have not seen anyone disagree. 99.9% of articles follow this naming convention already. My understanding was that the only reason that those articles were not being moved was that nobody was up to it. I just took the inititive. Sorry. Rlee0001 22:17 Oct 20, 2002 (UTC)

Untitled

 * There seems to be a misunderstanding. See your talk page. --mav

To-do list

 * Add citation that the Amiga E was a popular language; currently we only cite the language creator.
 * Should the article title be "Amiga E (programming language)"?
 * When the maintenance template should be removed?
 * Overview should be expanded and/or Syntax block should be added; see: C (programming language) - Overview

CC: @Polluks @Pavlor Kajsa Gauza (talk) 13:49, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Myself, I would remove all parts referenced by primary sources (Aminet etc.) and rewrite the article by using reliable sources (some are already in the article, eg. French AmigaNews). However, my personal to-do list is long and my Wiki time too short, so I can't do it myself in a reasonable time frame. What I can do is to list more reliable sources here on the talk page.
