Requested pages

 * I expanded upon Htgn Institutions but there are some redlinks. I can't tell if some, like the MU Medical Center, are part of Cabell-Huntington or if it deserves its own separate page.
 * Big Sandy Superstore furniture company located in Wheelersburg, Ohio.
 * I doubt that they would pass WP:CORP.  young  American  (ahoy-hoy) 13:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH, Metropolitan Statistical Area page was added, but it needs more work and information. Also, linked it with a redirect from the kyova page. The metro page was also added to the navigation templates for the states of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. Campaigner444 01:38, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Specific needs

 * Expand the park/outdoor attractions section of Huntington, West Virginia.
 * Expand or renovate Ironton, Ohio and Portsmouth, Ohio. I've reorganised it in accordance to other city pages, such as Louisville, Huntington, Lexington, and Cincinnati. More work needs to be done in the way of expansion and cleanup.

Recently completed

 * Ashland, Kentucky: Expanded nearly every section, esp. history; reconstructed the Police Controversies section per notice; added Cityscape of Ashland, Kentucky.
 * King's Daughters Medical Center: Added the page with extensive, sourced history. Future section could stand to have more, though.
