Talk:Plunketts Creek (Loyalsock Creek tributary)

Notes on this article
This article incorporates essentially all of the information I could find on Plunketts Creek, so if there are missing topics or details, I am not sure they can be found (although I am sure there are things I have not yet found out there). I have run the semi-automated peer review script on the article and it finds several apparent errors which are not actually there (as noted).

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question. The images (two photos and a map) are all free. The "26ft" without a non-breaking space is in a URL in a reference and not an actual unit. The 17 additive terms includes the letters "also" in Loyalsock (Creek and State Forest), not the actual word "also". You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.[?]
 * Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -  between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 26ft, use 26 ft, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 26&amp;nbsp;ft.[?]
 * Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
 * While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 17 additive terms, a bit too much.
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]
 * I found quite a bit more about this creek since and would appreciate any feedback in Peer Review. Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 05:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

GA pass
I have reviewed this article and feel that it meets all points of the good article criteria. The only small problem I could find was that there were a few times where the creek was called "Plunkett Creek" instead of Plunketts. If you want to see how this article could become a featured article then get it peer reviewed so other people can add their 2 cents. Congratulations.  T Rex  | talk  12:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I found one missing "s" in opening sentence about the name. Dincher 00:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Difference between an unincorporated village and a hamlet
Of the three settlements that the creek passes through, Proctor and Barbours are described as unincorporated villages in the article, while Hoopestown is described as a hamlet. Is there a meaningful difference between an unincorporated village and a hamlet, to the point that we need to differentiate the two in the introduction? By my understanding, both terms refer to an unincorporated community, and the distinction between the two is mostly regional. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 20:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * In my mind a village is bigger than a hamlet. Barbours and Proctor both look like a village - they have a few dozen houses, and other stuff (fire hall and library branch in Barbours, a store and a church in Proctor) and there is more than one road in each. Hoppestown is much smaller - although it is shown on maps, when I've driven the road through Hoppestown there is never really a place where I thought "this is where Hoppestown is". There are a several places where there are a few houses together along the road, but I could be wrong as to which clump of 3 or 4 houses it is. There is no crossroad and nothing but houses. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:20, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thinking about this further, politically none of these are separately incorporated places - they are all part of Plunketts Creek Township (which is incorporated). However, PennDOT does put up signs for some unincorporated places that say "Village of ___". Barbours and Proctor both have such signs, but Hoppestown does not (again adding to the confusion of where it is). So at least when writing this, I had PennDOT signage in mind as to why Babrours and Proctor are villages and Hoppestown is not. Ruhrfisch  &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:51, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
