Talk:Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania

message: Perhaps in Latin, but in Greek it is "Philadelphia", and as the New Testament was written in Greek, and this is what is alluded to in the county's name, I question the appropriateness of this comment.  Rlquall 01:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Philadelphia is listed. As such I am once again removing the county link.

message: Until I added the protection tag to this page, there was little or no discussion regarding the reversions between November 2nd and January 15th on this talk page. I hope protecting the page will encourage some positive dialogue here, so for the time being, I am going to leave this page protected. I am unfamiliar with Pennsylvania related topics, so please discuss amoungst yourselves what is the best for this article. If the page still remains protected when consensus occurs, please let me know, and I will promptly unprotect the page. Provided that the repeated reversions stop, I'll also unprotect the page earlier so that other users can edit the article. -- HappyCamper 06:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm...well, still no discussion on this page, but at least there is some improvement. The revert warring happened 3 days after protection was lifted, but I think can be much better. --HappyCamper 12:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I get a very odd error from the software, so --protection. It would be really nice for the article if we all stopped the reversions. --HappyCamper 12:29, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Let the Philadelphia County article exist. The category shouldn't be separtate from the current 'city' one. For all the reasons mentioned before.evrik 06:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed the sentence pointing out that the city is the county seat of the county... because it's a silly thing to say, really, given that there isn't anything else in the county. :) Savatar 04:34, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah and it is just as silly to remove it considering that the city is still the seat for the county. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 05:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Er, um, ...yes. Should we also point out that the city has the largest population out of all localities in the county? :) Savatar 05:04, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'll go through the page later today for copy-editing. --Happylobster 14:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm gathering that the reason for the copy-edit flag is the opening paragraph with strong Christian overtones. I'm toning it down, but don't want to piss on a hornet's nest. Let me know if I'm out of line. --Happylobster 14:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I moved it up one paragraph up in the section and then made revisions. Hopefully this is sufficient.--Happylobster 15:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Ok dumb question why are we saying "Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania", and not "County of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"? I know it is a little thing but don't all PA counties use the 'County of NAME' syntax? Shouldn't we use the most correct not just the vernacular?Awg1010 (talk) 23:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The naming format is standard with all county-based articles. --Moreau36 (talk) 16:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I also note that County of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a redirect here. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 20:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Name

message: The article uses this phrase
 It is the most populous county in the United States coterminous with a municipality
Not sure what this means but at least both Brooklyn and Queens are municipalities (boroughs) and are coterminous with their counties.  
Given that the comment may have meant with the same name that would eliminate Brooklyn but leave Queens.
Something needs to be corrected here.
It would appear that it is the largest city that is coterminous since LA, Chicago and Houston are not conterminous.
Hope to see a correction.
