Talk:Pennsylvania's 15th congressional district

Need for improvement
The text in this article is basically generalized common knowledge, but even in that, it's not accurate. For example, Allentown and Bethlehem are not "fairly large cities", Bush and Kerry didn't visit here with any "regularity", and calling the district "heavily contested" hardly reflects most elections since WW II. As for "politically important nationally", that's local puffery. All potential swing districts have their importance, but there's nothing to suggest the eyes of the nation have been on the 15th. Meanwhile, neither the history nor the current state of affairs are addressed, for example, the swing in registration that's taken place since the decline of heavy manufacturing in the late 1970s or the effects of redistricting, an omission that renders the article not only out of date but irrelevant to anyone who comes here hoping to learn something about their district. Digging up some sources would help immeasurably. Allreet (talk) 02:10, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Outdated map
The 15th District has gained much territory in the Congressional redistricting based on the 2010 U.S. Census. It now reaches all the way from Three Mile Island in Dauphin County all the way to Williams Twp., Northampton County, over 100 miles from west to east. See the official Commonwealth of Pennsylvania redistricting page. Bill S. (talk) 03:45, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
