Wondering how to edit this State Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. States standards might help.
Is the candy company the only notable small company in PA? Why this one over all others? Should pennsylvania Dutch Candies be deleted? Key45 22:43, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
re "Pennsylvania's government is unique as it was based on consensus rather than voting?. " The mixed tenses leaves me as the reader uncertain about whether we are talking about the state's current government or its government during colonial times. Eclecticology, Saturday, June 29, 2002
What format should the "State Information" be in? I put it in two formats for comment. -- Ram-Man
- The only thing in that table that I would consider "state information" is the capital. But that's just my cynical opinion. :) --Brion
- Yeah, I don't like the title either. It could use something more creative. I'm not feeling especially creative right now. But I've found things like state xxxx in encyclopedias before. I wondered if the table would be appropriate, or just a boring list like everything else. -- Ram-Man
- I think I'll keep it since I already went through the effort. If someone else wants to change it to something that pleases them, more power to them. I personally like it. We shall see if in time others agree. BTW, it is not that hard to make a table. -- Ram-Man
It has already been suggested elsewhere that a modified WikiProject Countries table should also be used for major administrative subdivisions like states. See also the currently dormant WikiProject U.S. States. That is the place to work this out. BTW, there is little reason not to have two tables in each state article -- of course the officia state x table found here is not as important as population and such. --mav
Question
From article: Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was one of the most important figures in Pennsylvania's history, although he was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He founded the University of Pennsylvania in 1742. He had the distinction of signing both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. He is buried with his wife Deborah in Christ Church Cemetery in the city. What city? Pollinator 15:44, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Right here in Philly. I've changed it-- good point. Marnanel 19:58, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)
Towns in Pennsylvania
There are hundreds of Wikipedia articles about towns in Pennsylvania that haven't been updated since 2003 began. Can you put a Media Wiki box in these towns?? 66.32.74.97 01:28, 29 May 2004 (UTC)
State symbols
I added some new state symbols that weren't in the list. I'd also like to add the dates that each was designated. I feel that this is pretty important information if someone comes and wants to know how long milk has been the state beverage, for example. I just don't know the best way to go about displaying this...
Skyline picture
That skyline picture of Philly needs moved. It's creating WAY too much white space. sam 14:14, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Update: I moved the skyline picture of Philly up under the last paragraph in the general section. When it was down under the sidebar, there was a page of whitespace under the paragraph, then a page of whitespace under the image (table of contents took up some of it). I brought it up so the rest of the page would come up. I was thinking about just moving the image down with the Pittsburgh image in the Cities section. Feel free to do so if you think it looks better there. Sam 18:38, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
License Plate
The license plate shown on the page is outdated. Does anybody have a sample image of one of the newer, uglier ones to put in its place? Lancer Sykera 05:38, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
- I believe you're referring to the new plates that have the www.visitpa.com address at the bottom. These are not the official plates of Pennsylvania, according to the Department of Transportation's License Plate page, found at http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/license_plates/index.shtml.Sam 19:04, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
