Juniata County, Pennsylvania
What is the reason for the changes you've made to the article on Juniata County? It would be helpful if you could explain via an edit summary or here on this page. I maintain that your changes have made the article (slightly) more confusing. --Jakob (talk)  14:56, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for this. At the time I did not know how to put a comment in, but I have started doing this. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. : )

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Scottyoak2 (talk) 04:58, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Pennsylvania counties
Thank you for your recent edits to "County" articles. I wanted to point out some things that may create confusion with the lists inside those articles:

City neighborhoods aren't considered separate "unincorporated communities" within counties. The mention of neighborhoods would be more appropriate within the city's article. i.e. Knoxville in Pittsburgh

Former communities, historical communities or obsolete communities shouldn't be comingled within lists of current communities. It tends to make the lists unclear.

Although the word "Township" is prevalent, it is not redundant. In Pennsylvania, the word "Township" is usually part of the legal name and often differentiates a township from a borough. Removing the word "Township" decreases the overall clarity of the article.

I hope you'll consider revisiting some of your recent edits and continue helping to improve the county articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you, Scottyoak2 (talk) 05:38, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

I appreciate your concern with some of the edits that I have posted. Please let me address your concerns.

If I place an edit under a specific heading, please be advised that I have researched the edit fully before posting it. I always use http://nhd.usgs.gov/gnis.html when determining whether something is a CDP, Township, City, etc.

As far as the redundancy issue, if there is a heading above it, I believe that it's common knowledge that the information below that heading would mean that the information listed refers to that heading. This makes the information redundant below it; otherwise, why not put borough after every borough? Are they not legally named borough?

To keep the peace, I will refrain from removing this redundant information in the future.
