I have to quibble with the designation of Thomas Mifflin as a Federalist. He certainly was at odds with the Washington administration from about 1792 onwards; his opponent in 1790 was Arthur St Clair, who was an arch-Federalist and was the preferred candidate of a number of leading Philadelphia Federalists. Moreover, although Mifflin supported the ratification of the Federal Constitution, the Federalist/Anti-Federalist division in the ratification debate was not a party split; in Pennsylvanian politics, Mifflin was a Constitutionalist (whose supporters largely opposed ratification of the constitution.)
Democratic-Republican isn't an ideal designation, either, because the party grows somewhat and only really has a "Republican designation" in 1793/4, and even then took a while to become institutionalised, even in Pennsylvania. I suggest either making Mifflin unassigned, or "Anti-Administration", which is used to describe Congressmen elsewhere.

No-one has come back to me on this one; I have edited the list to give Mifflin no party affiliation. I will add a further note in due course if no-one else says anything.

I have to question whether or not Mark Single should be included on this list.
Single was only acting governor for a few months. Unlike with Ridge, Casey never really resigned. He just temporarily stepped down due to health issues.
The list of governors on the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission does not include Single. Check their list of past governors at http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/governors/overview.asp?secid=31
I would think that would be a good argument for not including him here.

Souled In ( talk) 00:52, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Sorry. I do not know how to correctly comment. I wanted to say though, that you have listed no criteria for defining the duration of being in a "acting" position to be included in a list, and your duration listed as "a few months" is not very clear or using any defined criteria. When I look at the Secretary of Air Force list, all acting members, sometimes several in a row, are included. All three sources you have linked to are not working. Lastly, you misspelled the name. It is Singel. -SouledIn

List of governors of Pennsylvania → Governor of Pennsylvania – This page is not merely a list of governors. It describes the job, residence, and other information about the governor. Needforspeed888 ( talk) 20:51, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
List of governors of Pennsylvania § The Governor's Residence appears to have been added in
Special:Diff/678160356 by
User:Pa-governor at 18:44 UTC, 27 August 2015, as a direct quotation of the whole of the body text of a page

In the following two revisions of the article, Pa-governor (in
Special:Diff/678162272 at 18:58 and then fixing syntax in

tweaked the wording of the section (
Special:Diff/678169148 at 19:42 and
Special:Diff/678169359 at 19:43, turning it from a direct quotation into a close paraphrase),
added more external links to Pennsylvania Politicals in the sections "See also" (
Special:Diff/678174774 at 20:19) and "External links" (
Special:Diff/678174894 at 20:20), and
changed Courtesy of

(
Special:Diff/678173139 at 20:09).
User:InternetArchiveBot changed the external link in the See Also
attribution to an archival version
[2] in
Special:Diff/838859697 (19:07, 29 April 2018) and likewise changed the link in the From

Special:Diff/944767169 (20:24, 9 March 2020). The last working, non-usurped archived version of the Pennsylvania Politicals website appears to be
[4] from 2017.
I'm deleting the section "The Governor's Residence" under WP:COPYVIO. Of course, the section is not necessarily a copyright violation, as it is possible that Pa-governor is the author of the text on the late Pennsylvania Politicals website; I note Pa-governor's repeated insertion of external links to Pennsylvania Politicals, both as aforementioned and in revisions such as Special:Diff/678155719 and Special:Diff/678156763.
For this article to have a section on the governor's residence seems anyway redundant with the article Pennsylvania Governor's Residence, which is linked from this article's infobox. However, it may be reasonable to expand Pennsylvania Governor's Residence with the information from Pennsylvania Politicals (citing it in the proper way).
Finally, here's the COPYVIO boilerplate notice:

Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license.

The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source.
