Talk:Ghost Town Trail

Peer Review

 * It's my understanding that most of the Cambria County section (except the Red Mill/White Mill spur) follows the Pennsylvania RR, not the Blacklick and Yellow Creek RR. My understanding is that the latter was essentially north-south, whereas the PRR Cresson line was east-west. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonrkennedy (talk • contribs) 19:06, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Lead is good, descent summary of the article.
 * Development you need to put in-line citations w/in the paragraph rather than just one cite at the end for the entire paragraph.
 * Quote, "The trail passes past..." passes past is not good prose, consider rewording.
 * The numbers issue is a little difficult, you have written our numbers with their metric conversion written numerically, e.g. six miles (10km). According to the MOS all numbers below ten should be written alphabetically with numbers above ten written numerically, consistency is important.  You may want to take a look at that.

 * If any of the ghost towns have articles they should be wikilinked, like Wehrum.
 * Quote, "Only one of the houses is still standing, across the site of the hotel and the remains of the bank vault." This sentence should be reworded. The house sits across from the site of the hotel.
 * Quote, "The trail follows the Pennsylvania Railroad's Ebensburg & Blacklick line past Wehrum, which opened in 1903." you may want to consider removing this sentence as duplicative. Just a thought.  H1nkles (talk) 22:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a to one assertion.
 * Quote, "Former director of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum Elizabeth Drewry described that in May 1920, Warren Delano traveled with his sister, nieces, and nephews from his home on Park Avenue in New York City to show them his mines, possibly including the future President." This statement is worded awkwardly and should be changed.  Make it two sentences.  H1nkles (talk) 22:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

That's a start, I have to stop reviewing for now, I'll pick it up tomorrow. H1nkles (talk) 22:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * In the Eliza furnace section you have paragraphs with one in-line citation at the end of the paragraph. You should incorporate your citations within the paragraph after the major facts.  H1nkles (talk) 16:41, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Quote, "The furnace is located at Vintondale, near the midpoint of the trail. The site also contains a picnic area, restrooms, and historical signs.[8]" This is a stub and should be combined with the previous paragraph.
 * The end is a very good summary of the financial impact of the trail. You should mention this briefly in the lead.
 * References are good though very reliant on Indiana County Parks & Trails website.
 * Is there any more information on some of the ghost towns along the trail? Since the name of the trail is Ghost Town Trail, it would be good to add more about the actual ghost towns along the trail rather than to focus so much on the blast furnaces.  If there isn't much info on them then so be it.
 * The photos are very topical and informative.
 * Also consider adding a see also section with links to any of the Ghost Towns that have articles as well as Indiana and Cambria Counties
 * overall it definitely has potential. I think there is more information here than the Livermore PA. article.  Give it a little more polish and if you can add any more information on some of the ghost towns on the trail that should do it.  Good job!  H1nkles (talk) 16:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
