Upon its review on January 04, 2008, this good article nomination was quick-failed because it:
had a virtual or complete lack of reliable sources
thus making it ineligible for good article consideration. According to
the verifiability policy, "Material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source." There are only 2 sources. A severe lack of sources for an article this length is apalling, with nearly every section unreferenced. Any editors who wish to bring this up to GAN standard, I suggest citing more sources (at least 40), but not only that; reliable ones too.
If you wish you can take this to
reassessment to get it discussed by other reviewers and/or other editors. I encourage you to do the steps listed and resubmit when finished. Thank you. Regards,

Once again, this article has to be quick-failed because of its "complete lack of reliable sources" - see Wikipedia:Verifiability. There are only three references for this piece - virtually the same number as when the article was reviewed back in January, thus making it ineligible for Good Article consideration.
This policy reads: "Material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source." The last reviewer suggested the article needed a minumum of 40 reliable references to help it pass GA, however this concern has not yet been addressed.
There are other problems, too, that I have spotted, which would need tackling before GA status could be considered. For example, Wikipedia does not encourage the use of lists, and would prefer editors to replace these with prose. This article, however, contains several such lists including parks, schools and bars. The 'notable residents' section is also a stubby list, and needs rewriting or leaving out.
Another problem are the many red links. If possible, seperate articles should be created to link in with these or, if the subject is not notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article, then don't link them all.
A good, solid start has been made on this article, but a lot more needs doing to it. For example, Hummelstown obviously has a history stretching back several centuries, so this needs expanding and further referencing.

Should churches and bars be included in the article? Are these encyclopedic? The George Washington stay could be relocated to the "History" section. ~ All is One ~ ( talk) 13:09, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I've quick-failed the article in it's most recent GA nomination. Please don't get discouraged, and I suggest Teaneck, New Jersey as a model. According to the GA criteria:

This isn't an easy process (I've never written a good article). You can get support from numerous places (me, associated wikiprojects, any other editors you know). Most importantly, do not hesitate to ask me for help or comments. I promise, I don't bite :) Cheers, Mm40 ( talk) 22:28, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
No mention of this major incident anywhere on the page? It's a HUGE story thats getting national and international coverage! She shot an unarmed man, as a police woman, in the back, while he was on the ground, with tasers in him! Why is there not a single thing about this? PennLive alone has about 30 different articles on their site!!! 74.99.170.107 ( talk) 03:42, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
