Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The
WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
Apparently the locals think there are many more towns in this county: see http://home.att.net/~Local_History/Harrison-Co-IN.htm for instance. Stan 19:43, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
There are alot of unincorporated communities in harrison county. those would be the ones you see listed on that page. 66.38.8.229 ( talk) 15:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC) cool10191
i added the government center. I referenced the county government site for most of it. The tax paragraph i wrote from what i know of living in the county.. and paying the taxes! I don't have references off hand for that, but the info is accurate. Cool10191 ( talk) 18:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

The article is a pretty decent start, though I'm not sure I'd assess it at B-class quite yet, as two wikiprojects have. It's probably closer to C-class in its present state. There's still quite a bit of work to be done. Below is how this article measures up against the six good article criteria:
I seem to have made the mistake earlier of using a US city guideline for a county article. Counties are certainly not cities, and a lot of information that applies to cities certainly does not apply to counties. Based on the guidelines at WP:COUNTY, I think this article is a lot closer to meeting GA criteria than originally thought, so I have decided to reinstate this and put it on hold for two weeks (until 2/28/2010). Looking at the edit history, it also appears that there is a good deal of editing going on, so I think this timeframe is reasonable.
Here's the critical issues:
So those are the main issues with the article, based on information at WP:COUNTY. The article is on hold at WP:GAN while these issues are addressed. Cheers! WTF? ( talk) 22:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I think the article now meets the GA criteria and can be listed. I made a few minor edits to grammar and spelling, and reordered the sections promoting the demographics and economy sections over transportation and education. I still think that a map of the county showing the major roads and townships is nice to have in the geography section, but I won't hold up GA any longer over this. Cheers! WTF?

I've created a map of Harrison County and have added it to this article. I've also begun copyediting, as I found quite a few things that still needed work. All the citations should now be in a consistent format. More to come... Omnedon ( talk) 15:47, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
