There are no relevant matches on several pages of Google results, which makes me very suspicious. Can anyone provide any references for this article? &mdash; HorsePunchKid &rarr;&#x9F9C; 2005-10-24 03:01:33Z

A search turned up this. Seems to be the game mentioned here. -- Kimchi.sg | Talk 06:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I was just visiting Jeddo, Freeland, and Hazelton Pennsylvania with my grandfather (a trip back to his birthplace). Hazelton is an old mining town that was somewhat restored for the shooting of The Molly Maguires and then later converted into a museum and historic park (though 21 people still live there). In the museum a set of nipsies are displayed (I don't know if anyone can verify this or if my word is good enough). My grandfather remembered playing the game, so when I got home I looked it up online to see if I could find more information about it. I was only able to find the site posted above, so I decided to post my first Wikipedia article based on my grandfather's description (and backed up by that page). &mdash; User:inxil [ talk ] 10:19 AM, November 24th, 2005 (EST)

I think Kimchi.sg's findings proove the article is not a hoax. I will remove the tag. Ifnord 22:21, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Coal region
According to the Wikipedia Coal region] article. The Coal Region is a term used to refer to an area of [[Northeastern Pennsylvania in the central Appalachian Mountains comprising Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia, Carbon, Schuylkill, Northumberland, and the extreme northeast corner of Dauphin counties.

Bethlehem is in Lehigh County, and definitely well south of the coal region of Pennsylvania.--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:59, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
