Talk:Pennsylvania General Assembly

message: Should the pay raise controversey portion be split into a seperate article?  It's taking up over half the page and isn't completely revalent to the article. 68.70.149.142 02:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should be split. The pay raise controversy led to the first sitting Supreme Court judge to be defeated in a retention election, and a historically high number of incumbents defeated in the primaries, including two Senate majority leaders.

replies: text: I too think that it should be separated out. I came to Wikipedia specifically to search for a page about this incident, and I expected to find it on its own page (perhaps with a link from the General Assembly page). I believe that organization makes the most sense. mcherm 16:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate article for pay controversy?

message: This article is about the state's Assembly. Is there another article on the Assembly before PA became a state? I've been editing articles on Colonial-era representatives, and it doesn't seem appropriate to link them to this article. If such another article exists (I haven't been able to find it), it would be a good idea to link to it here, maybe under "See also". Otherwise, I'll create a stub.--BillFlis 06:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No one seems to have done this yet, so I created the stub Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly, along with :Category:Members of the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly, and populated it with a handful of articles. The terminology can be tricky because sometimes the colonial (or provincial) General Assembly and the General Assembly created by the 1776 constitution are treated as if they were the same thing. And then there's the bicameral General Assembly after 1790, which is essentially a new establishment but also sometimes referred to interchangeably with its historic predecessors. A nice list of the members of these various bodies is here. —Kevin Myers 08:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Provincial Assembly?

message: It appears that the legislature is the most expensive in the country at $300 million. Can only find one solid source for this. The same one, a columnist. Really needs outside verification. Student7 (talk) 01:50, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: $300 million price tag for legislature?

message: There was redistricting in 2010 and following, after the US Census in 2010, but the legislative districts are shown as of 2009. Big fix needed.--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:44, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph (Pennsylvania expressly acknowledges that...) seems to come out of nowhere. The references are unclear, and seem to assume that "the original 1864 amendment" was already introduced as a topic of discussion. The language is choppy. It covers a very specific issue, but not very well...it's out of place in the introductory portion for such a general topic....PurpleChez (talk) 13:14, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed those problems as well. I undid the relevant edit as copyvio, but I was mistaken. The edit chopped off the first half of the paragraph. So I stand by my undo, but for vandalism, not copyvio. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 11:05, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
