* THAT history is totally ignored in the article. 
* I know from other research there were no less than 7 Class I railroads operating in the Wyoming Valley in the 1890s. Most of those traversed THIS COUNTY! 
* This tendency to list roads and totally ignore the historic role of Rail Transport in the development of today's towns and unincorporated 'populated places' (Likely were once rail stops!) REALLY HAS TO END. 
* There are supposedly five railroads (a mention) in Bloomsburg and Sullivan Railroad, yet the county which was clearly important in Transportation Infrastructure for the peak years of the early Industrial Revolution ignores the topic.
Disgusted by the ignoring of HISTORY folks--the foundations of TODAY. Please do better. Search "History of Columbia County, Pennsylvania" will almost certainly show up references.

Talk:Lehigh County, Pennsylvania

message: My changes began with an attempt to remove the characterization of Allentown and Bethlehem as the county's "two largest cities." Besides implying there are other cities, the sentence was inaccurate in that it gave the impression all of Bethlehem is located in Lehigh County. Working in the difference led to the inclusion of the other municipalities. The choppiness of the two paragraphs then became apparent, so it made sense to combine the references to the county's location into the lead sentence and place the historical background in its own paragraph. Of course, there are dozens of ways of flipping these things around, so further improvements are welcome. Other changes/additions included getting rid of "parts of Northampton County" because it sounds as if more than one part was carved out to form Lehigh; past tense works better with the population because this was the population in 2000 and the population is now larger; Allentown's ranking as the state's third largest city is notable; and including a settlement date reflects the county's history better than using the incorporation date by itself.

Talk:Titanic (1997 film)

message: I found the retrospective section here to be a bit odd (perhaps poorly named). This film was released in December 1997. The "retrospective" section includes one response from a French filmmaker ... made in 1998 ... and also devotes an entire paragraph to James Cameron's response to criticism ... also made in 1998.
FWIW, whether the French filmmaker's comments should be included at all is also maybe worth reconsidering. His full quotation on Winslett's performance: "On top of which, the actress is awful, unwatchable, the most slovenly girl to appear on the screen in a long, long time. That's why it’s been such a success with young girls, especially inhibited, slightly plump American girls who see the film over and over as if they were on a pilgrimage: they recognize themselves in her, and dream of falling into the arms of the gorgeous Leonard." Lots of directors through the years have spoken of Titanic ... why is that pretty flagrantly sexist comment worth highlighting?--96.94.213.161 (talk) 18:02, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

message: 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.

message: Investigating the red link to nowhere of "Aravat" led me to discover the near-vandalism of the edit: not only was the typo introduced, but a township was added to a previously boro-only list, & the last boro (Friendsville) was bumped off the list; said bump removed too much & broke the table.
I peeped at other counties & determined that both boros & t-ships should be displayed. I grabbed the lists of the b+t from their edit pages, massaged them with some quick Python code, visited each to get the pops, & used some more Python to sort the combined list. I used the colors from the Luzerne Co. pop table, since its boro color seemed to match this one. I used my sandbox to test & fine-tune the table.
When the 2020 census figures become available, I (or you) can update the table with not too much difficulty, using the Python code; just need to update the numbers & sort.
