List of municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania
List of municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania is a complete list of all current 13 municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania. It has had a peer review, which is here, that found no major problems. The suggestions for improvement have all been addressed and we believe the list meets the requirements for featured list candidates. This article, including the picture gallery and large clickable map, follows the model of List of municipalities in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, which is a featured list. The picture gallery also follows the model of List of Pennsylvania state parks, and the clickable map also follows the model of List of Kentucky counties, both of which are also Featured lists. This is a self-nomination in that we are the editors who have worked the most on this list and the municipality articles themselves. Thanks in advance for all input, Dincher (talk) and Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 22:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Support - all my concerns address, an excellent addition to the WP:FL roster! The Rambling Man (talk) 12:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for your helpful comments and support. FYI, per your suggestions I've changed the clickable map caption in List of municipalities in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania and will link the "formed from" townships there too (52 vs 13, so will take a bit longer).

 * The formed froms have been linked in Lycoming County article. Dincher (talk) 03:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * 1. The clickable map seems unduly large for such a small county. Could it be made smaller?
 * Thanks, currently all the borough labels are in the same position relative to the borough (about 4 o'clock) - if the map is made much smaller, there is not room to put the label there for Eagles Mere. The townships are aligned in two horizontal rows of 3 and 4 twps. each (plus Davidson Twp.). I am not sure where else to put the labels to be consistent for both boroughs and townships. It is a lot of work to change the size of the map as every label must be repositioned, but I am open to specific suggestions. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 2. I'm skeptical of the claim that the county seat was the second-smallest in the U.S. in 1969. I haven't checked the population histories, but as of 2000 at least 3 county seats were smaller: Amidon, North Dakota (population 26), Medora, North Dakota (pop. 100), and Booneville, Kentucky (pop. 111). (I found those by looking at Wikipedia list articles in a few places where I thought I might find tiny county seats. I did not do a comprehensive study of county seats.)
 * Removed, obviously we did not do a comprehensive study of county seats either. (The book cited is a reliable source for the railroad, but not county seats). Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 3. When I perused the article, I found a couple of typos. That leads me to think that other typos might still be lurking...
 * Thanks for your copyedits - the typos you found were (I believe) all made after User:Michael Devore's proof reading. I will ask him to please make another pass through the article. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the quick responses. Support for FL. --Orlady (talk) 03:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your support. I made a few copyedits to hopefully make the article better and requested the proofreading. If you have specific suggestions for label placement in a smaller map, I would be glad to try it. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Michael Devore found no typos, but made some comments here which I have now addressed. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:26, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
