Non-Famous Admirals[edit]

I deleted the section listing four non-famous admirals, as I didn't see why they should be listed above the other roughly 100,000 non-famous admirals. Congrats to them on this high and distinct honor, though, and I thank them for bravely serving in the defense of the waterways of Nebraska. Danthemankhan 05:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

triply landlocked?[edit]

What on earth does this mean? Can someone clarify please, or remove the 'triply' and just leave it at 'landlocked.' 82.32.238.139 (talk) 16:34, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Triply-landlocked: it is landlocked from the left, from the right, and from below. I guess. 99.144.226.237 (talk) 14:32, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Triply means that all surrounding states are doubly landlocked - these nabour states are all surrounded by states which in turn are also landlocked, so a Nebraskan has to cross at least three state borders to get to the sea. "Shortest" hop to the briny deep is either Wyoming-Idaho-Oregon/Washington or Kansas-Oklahoma-Texas. TGCP (talk) 10:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redisdents of Nebraska[edit]

The criteria says they must be a resident of Nebraska but then people like Queen Elizabeth II and Edmund Hilary are listed as notable recipients. This obviously seems to contradict the first part?--TinTin (talk) 01:30, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dorothy Kilgallen[edit]

I removed Dorothy Kilgallen from the list of notable recipients. She isn't listed on any of the 'notable recipients' pages, and the linked source for her inclusion was a clip from What's My Line? of what I assume given the lack of other evidence was a joke. If anyone wants to correct me here's the link, the clip in question is at around the 1-minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aGMevgMOgM — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chickenfarm-AJF (talk • contribs) 03:08, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
