Hi guys there seems to be this senseless alias deleteing images here of our heritage for no reason named Boothy443 from Philadelphia. THE IMAGES AND TEXTS ARE FACTUAL. You know this. I sent him a message on his discussion page and will never return to it. I will continue our correspondence by EMAIL and continue to watch for his deletions and mis-spelled texts. Scotty

Lead paragraph
Schuylkill County is NOT also known as the "Pottsville, PA Micropolitan Statistical Area" any more than Dauphin County is also known as Harrisburg or Allegheny County is also known as Pittsburgh. 72.95.8.176 (talk) 00:47, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Can anyone clarify the second paragraph which states: "Native American massacres were commonplace in Schuylkill County between 1755 and 1765" Does this mean massacres OF Native American peoples or does it mean massacres committed BY Native American Peoples? And, either way, could someone cite primary articles about whichever was intended?Chirdon (talk) 21:08, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

3 Anecdotes for Sch. History
I've lived in Sch. County before and I remember three pretty important events that didn't show up on this page. 1. There was a story that Pottsville only acquired the county seat because it got the building materials for the court house first, in some versions of the story they actually stole it right off the train as it was heading to Tamaqua.

2. When the immigration of other European ethnic groups began in earnest, especially with the Irish and Italians, it resulted in ethnic tensions. There was a story I'll have to look for (unless someone else already knows of it) where on St. Patrick's feat day in Pottsville, somebody put a string of rotten potatoes around the statue of St. Patrick. This allegedly resulted in fights across town.

3. There was a bit of a cultural oopsie in Schuylkill Haven during the early 20th century. When Adolf Hitler came to power, German-descended residents organized a march. This was later forgotten, for obvious reasons.

I'm new to Wikipedia and don't want to be coming in and editing articles without some experience first. I'll look these stories up and return with any citations I can find, but I wanted to note them here on the Talk section in case anyone knows of them already.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StudentOfOwls (talk • contribs) 22:57, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
