The "History" section still says "the two"; but now, that's puzzling
Most of the "History" section of this article was added in the edit that created the "Revision as of 13:17, 17 December 2020", and ... as of that version of this article, the phrase "the two" still made perfect sense, because ... at that time, the "History" section still mentioned both of "the two" [developers]: ("developers Melvin Silverman and H.M. Cohen").

However, in the very next edit, -- the edit (see this DIFF listing) that created the Revision as of 15:59, 8 January 2021 version of this article -- someone (an "IP address" editor?) removed one of those names, and changed the improper noun "developers" to the singular ("developer").

That might have been OK, except for the fact that, the phrase "the two" still appears later in that paragraph (the first paragraph of the "History" section of this article) and ... as of the most recent version (now the "Latest revision as of 00:05, 1 June 2022") of this article, it is still hard to figure out -- (without digging into the OLD non-latest "revisions" of the article) -- what is meant by that phrase, "the two"!

One solution would be ... to just remove the phrase "the two" there, since (currently), it might be hard for some readers to figure out what it means.

However, in my opinion, it would be better to just UN-DO the damage done during that edit ... the one that removed one of those two names, and changed "developers" to the singular ("developer").

Even if it had to be done manually ... it would not be too difficult to do. There were only two (petite!) changes. ... as one can see, from the DIFF listing that is 'linked to' from [the word "DIFF" in] a parenthetical phrase -- ["(see this DIFF listing)"] -- above.

I intend to do this, but first I'd like to check to see whether anyone has any comments. (Also, this complete [one might even say " "] explanation, probably would not fit in an edit comment; but now, the edit comment could "incorporate by reference" this "Talk:"-page section.)

Any advice, or comments? Rock on, .. ! Mike Schwartz (talk) 22:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * PS: This article now contains -- (according to the web site www.charactercountonline.com) -- over 800 words, not including the 3-sentence lede, the table of contents, the template instance, and the sections of footntes ("References") and 'External links' ("External links"). Does that mean that this article should no longer be considered to be (and should no longer be labeled as) a stub?


 * Stub says that [QUOTE:] "AutoWikiBrowser is frequently set to automatically remove stub tags from any article with more than 500 words.".


 * Just checking! --Mike Schwartz (talk) 23:03, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Pleasantville
The documentary, God Save Texas (2024), based off a book of the same name, discusses the history of Pleasantville (in episode 2, "The Price of Oil"). And it was founded by more than one person. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 08:11, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
