Gettysburg Address FAR

Gettysburg Address has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality.

The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. KnightLago (talk) 16:08, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Hummelstown, Pennsylvania

I have been trying to improve (and believe I am doing a half-way decent job at it) improving the Hummelstown, Pennsylvania page. I have added it to the Pennsylvania wikiproject. Everyone please check it out. The Rypcord. 02:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I placed a couple of tags on the article. Any additional help would be appreciated. Thanks. ~ All is One ~ (talk) 13:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Frank LaGrotta

Could someone please expand our article on Frank LaGrotta with matter unrelated to the current controversy? There has been concern that too much of the article is devoted to the controversy, and all of us involved in discussing it would appreciate it if more could be added on other aspects of his life.

Sports in Pennsylvania

I've created a new template/navigation box that displays all the pro sports team across the state. It can be place anywhere it's relevant.

Charlemagne Tower

Hi, I don't know if I went about this the right way or not (still kind of new to this whole thing), but I recently upgraded and overhauled the page on Charlemagne Tower, and I feel it would fall under the auspices of this Wikiproject. It has yet to be rated. Would anyone mind looking at it, and if I went about this incorrectly, could you let me know? Thanks! Bowie60 (talk) 21:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Luke Ravenstahl's GA review

The article on Pittsburgh's mayor, Luke Ravenstahl, is currently on hold in its Good Article review, and it needs some copy editing and the lead in weak. Can anyone take a look at it and help out? Thanks!--TheZachMorrisExperience (talk) 03:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Amish GA Sweeps Review: On Hold

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria and I'm specifically going over all of the "Culture and Society" articles. I have reviewed Amish and believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have left this message at this WikiProject's talk page so that any interested members can assist in helping the article keep its GA status. In reviewing the article, I have found there are a few issues that may need to be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I have left messages on the talk pages of the main contributors of the article along with several related WikiProjects. Please consider helping address the several points that I listed on the talk page of the article, which shouldn't take too long to fix if multiple editors assist in the workload. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Articles flagged for cleanup

Currently, 550 of the articles assigned to this project, or 10.2%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 18 June 2008.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. Subsribing is easy - just add a template to your project page. If you want to respond to this canned message, please do so at my user talk page. --B. Wolterding (talk) 17:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

• The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
• The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
• A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

I just created a new article on the position of Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Most of the material in the current version of the article was cut & pasted from the article on the current Secretary, Pedro A. Cortés. I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable on Pennsylvania history than myself would help improve the page. Thanks. --Eastlaw (talk) 20:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Pennsylvania

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:34, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Museums

I just created a nav box template for "{{Museums in Pennsylvania}}." I only added major ones that I knew of, so it is still incomplete and someone needs to fill it out.

I also created articles for Carnegie Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, The Andy Warhol Museum, and Carnegie Science Center that need to be expanded.--HoboJones (talk) 15:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Allegheny Athletic Association

I've started up an article on the Allegheny Athletic Association (can't believe it wasn't there before. THought your project would like to jump into it and beef it up.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Office of Conservation Science and Wild Resource Conservation Program

These are overly promotional articles created by somebody within the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, hence have major COI issues. They could do with some major cleanup. McWomble (talk) 13:57, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Pennsylvania articles needing geographic coordinates

100 articles in Category:Pennsylvania articles missing geocoordinate data do not have geographic coordinates. Coords are useful for making the article appear on Google Maps & many other mapping services; and they allow our users to click through to see the article subject location on a map. There's a short guide to on how to add geocodes to articles ... it really is very easy to do. I hope you'll take some time to ensure that Pennsylvania is as well represented as it can be on wikipedia by fixing up the listed articles. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Heather Highlands

If we have an article on this city, I would like to add that Divorce Court was named the second wackiest street name according to a 2006 poll by Car Connection website. Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 19:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Hummelstown

I am trying to keep improving this. Any and all help would be great! I'm hoping to get it to be a good article! The Rypcord. 14:25, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
