Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Pennsylvania

Multiple Property Submissions, MRAs, etc.
Many of Pennsylvania's listings on the NRHP are described in the following Multiple Property Submissions, Multiple Resource Area, or Thematic Resources studies. Briefly i thot these were all wikipedia notable, but probably they are not all notable that way. Removed them from the main article. For each there is a NRHP document available on-line. These can be used, at least, to develop articles on the NRHPs. Anyhow, the list of MPSs etc, is:

 * I'm going to say it stands for "Additioinal Documention", but it's only a guess. --​​ ​​D.B. talk • contribs 05:31, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I also think that is what it must stand for, as Additional Documentation is occasionally reported for various NRHP sites, in the NRHP weekly updates, and could also be for MPSs, etc. Added some of the PDF links corresponding to the first 10 of the above, from NR Cover website.  It appears not to provide stuff for AD ones, perhaps the Additional documentation is included in the main PDF report for each MPS. doncram (talk) 06:24, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Followup, much later: Complete list of MPS documents available, including section for Pennsylvania, is available at wp:MPS. After some discussion elsewhere, the idea of creaing a separate article for each of the above MPS topics was pretty much discarded, as the MPS document is pretty much just a one-time source and should not be elevated too much. It's like a report or print book, useful as a source. For a few of the topics, it may be sensible to create a separate article on the topic, using the MPS document as a major source. --doncram (talk) 21:19, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

small issues in formatting of table
I notice a couple formatting edits, including this partial reversal of some formatting change. I think that only changed the appearance from small to regular of one line, the duplicates summary line, in the table. The long footnote seems unchanged whether "smallified" or not. I don't think there is an agreed-upon standard for how the one line should be formatted, but this cannot matter too much either way.

I made another small suggestion, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places, which would apply for this PA table though. It would eliminate non-needed numbering for subtotals and subtotal duplicates rows. It's not a big deal either. I won't implement its suggestion here myself, please consider adopting or not. --doncram (talk) 21:19, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Table "Numbers of listings by county" does not sort correctly
Clicking on the right-hand column of the table, to sort by the number of sites, gives improper results. The numbers seem to be sorted almost alphabetically rather than numerically. In other words, all the numbers starting with "1" are listed together (10, 11, 111, 118, 12, 133, 137, 14...) rather than 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

An example of a similar table that does sort correctly can be found at National Register of Historic Places listings in Ohio. --SparkleCents (talk) 15:34, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

photos needed
Just an aid for finding sites - not necessarily complete or accurate. I'm hoping putting them all on one map will make cross border hunting easier
