Add the pronunciation "/ɑːrˈkæn.zən/" beside Demonnym "Arkansan" for clarification. MayYear (talk) 19:18, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: I'm not sure this is needed – per MOS:IPA,
Normally, pronunciation is given only for the subject of the article in its lead section.
Unless you can prove that it's necessary due to relevance (including evidence of common mispronunciation), as well as reliable sources to support the pronunciation, this addition isn't needed. Irltoad (talk) 19:41, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

The history and the historical economics of the State
editThe History, economic and cultural, has been altered and skewed. The economy suffered before and after the Civil War,Not because it depended on large plantations, there were relatively few of those, confined mainly to the east along the Mississippi River, but because of the poor quality soil and mountainous regions over much of the state. Much of the natural forest had been stripped and the soil below washed away or overused to the point that it would not support substantial crops.
In addtion, the history you present is tainted with prejudice and bigotry, not actual facts. 72.188.70.180 (talk) 12:06, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
