I added a link to the
Salamonie River, as it should be linked at first mention.
Thanks. It may have been first when the History section was first. The Geography section was moved to the front at a peer reviewer's request—to make the history easier to understand. I agree with the peer reviewer.
There are two citations #61 and #63 that have errors: "Harv error: link to #CITEREFShockley1914-03 doesn't point to any citation."
Fixed footnote 63. Footnote 61's reference link worked fine for me, as did the link to the web page. Am I missing someting?

footnote 60 still shows an error for me: "Harv error: link to #CITEREFShockley1914-03 doesn't point to any citation." I think you have to have a custom script installed in your custom.js to see the errors. I think this is the one:
The automobile changed "business and shopping patterns at the expense of the small-town merchant." - all quotes need citations. Never mind. I found the quotation in a nearby citation.

I think this is an excellent article, well written and well organized. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. (I can't vouch for MOS issues like ndash, hyphen placement etc.) Except for the harv ref error issue, it is fine. I think if ref 60 went to the same citation as ref 63, it would be fixed.
Ha!, Crisco removed the "-03" from the ref and that fixed it! And Br'er Rabbit added another change. (You might want to look in the article history and see what they did!) So the only remaining problem detected so far is the quote needing a citation. (see above)

Pass or Fail:
This is an excellent article, very well sourced. I knew hardly anything about Indiana and had never heard of Blackford County. Now I have received a good overview through the material covered by the sections plus many interesting insights into this county's history and current situation.
Reached by 300 south. Caused that road to be known as ‘flick road’. From 1960’s to 1980’s, the only XXX movies for miles and miles. Some stories:
I grew up in Anderson, Indiana in the 60's and 70's and Blackford County Drive In was infamous. Their radio commercials were right on the edge for the time and all they showed were XXX movies and always advertised the in car heaters. Blast from the past.
Marion High School, mid-seventies. If you snuck in with your buddies, you were a hero at school on Monday. If you snuck in with your girlfriend, you were a superhero. Told my mother about the latter years after the fact, and she said, "You and she used to have some fun, didn't you?" I was shocked.
Muncie native here. I remember begging my mom to take me to the Blackford because Cinderella was showing--she then informed me it wasn't 'the good Cinderella.' lol
