Talk:Lebanon, Pennsylvania

First Settlers

According to this article,

Lebanon was first settled in 1720 by early settlers, many with the family names of "Steitz" and "Light", along a creek that was then named "Steitz Creek". The Light patriarchs built an Indian Fort and named it "Light's Fort" during this time.

I think the article should explain what is meant by "early settlers" and "Indian Fort." Does this refer to native americans with names "Steitz" and "Light" building a fort here? Otherwise, the article would suggest that there were people that settled here before the Steitz and Light families, that there were nomads in the area that had not really "settled," or that native Americans were in the surrounding areas, but not in the area that is now Lebanon, and that the Light family built a fort to protect themselves from their neighbors. The article about Quittapahilla Creek states that

the original Algonquian name for this waterway is Cuewe-Pehelle,

which suggests that some Algonquian people either lived in the area or were familiar enough with the area to name it.

The facts in the article either are false or require much explanation. 69.248.170.26 (talk) 22:20, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Lebanon County CTC

I could have read the article wrong, but the CTC is not just for Lebabon and Cornwall Lebanon schools. I go to a neighboring school and was told last year that students at my school are also admitted in High School to the CTC. The way it is phrased implied that the CTC is only for the two schools mentioned above. 71.254.125.151 (talk) 02:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Can we get a skyline photo for the infobox?

The top photo in the infobox is supposed to show a city's skyline. The Reading Railroad station is very pretty, but does not meet the definition of a skyline. I have an emotional connection to Lebanon because I spent my early childhood there, but have been gone for almost fifty years, so I have no idea what kind of high-rise buildings might be there today. It might not be that impressive, but can't someone who lives close by today maybe take a picture? I tried a Google image search without any luck (and also found how stupid search engines can be, returning lots of "Lebanons" in other states despite the fact I was specific.) (Note: Wiki Commons has a picture of Mount Lebanon, PA, but please don't be fooled; this is not Lebanon and is on the other side of the state (near Pittsburgh). Thanks.

Picture of Salem Evangelical church

Please do not put pictures of points of interest into the infobox; the "image" parameter is intended to show a picture of the locality's skyline. Unfortunately, no such picture of Lebanon's skyline seems to exist (does that really mean the city doesn't have an impressive skyline, or else it's that hard to take a good picture?) A single building, such as the church or railroad station, really doesn't fill this purpose. The "image_map" parameter is not to be appropriated for this purpose, either. The picture of the church is impressive, but I moved it down where it belongs in "Points of interest", where the church is mentioned and wikilinked. JustinTime55 (talk) 20:58, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
