I am trudging my way through the Pennsylvania National Historic Landmarks updating the infoboxes (trying to get all this done by July 4th to be patriotic and hopefully not kill myself in the process ;-) ).

I went up to French Creek about two weeks ago and took a bunch of wildflower pictures, but afterward I realized I didn't have a good overall photo of the park. I went up there with the Appies today and fixed that. I also have some pictures of Hopewell I may upload from the first trip. I may go on another AMC trip to Hickory Run next weekend; are there any parks in SE PA you particularly desire photos for? Choess ( talk) 00:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I uploaded the rest of the pics I have of R. B. Winter State Park on Commons. Also uploaded two new pics of the Market Street Bridge in Williamsport and South WIlliamsport, what do you think of this for a South WIlliamsport panorama? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I checked the Recent Changes for Westmoreland, saw that you did the cities and skipped to a different county. I should be getting around to Greene sometime in the next few days. Greene appears to be the last county after Westmoreland before Allegheny is up. By the way I stumbled across the border while doing a CDP and an unicorporated community, so now there's two less for you do. -- D.B. talk• contribs 23:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the news - I have had a busy day and had not been online much. Did manage to start to address Tony's comments, but I need to sit down and go through the whole article at some point and clean things up a bit still. Also then go back to Cogan House Covered Bridge and make it more in line with this. Formal thank spam to follow - are you up to finishing Leonard Harrison for FA soon?

Thanks for your work so far and moving the Grand Canyon article. I can work on it some between now and Saturday. I think the best thing would be to add to both parks when it is applicable to both, then go for FAC with Leonard Harrison first. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:04, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
I am done for the next few hours - also got the Native history part done I think. If it is OK, will transfer it to Colton Point too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
The pics are all uploaded except for one. I am in the process of making a new panorama from the overlook, with the railings visible at either end. I may add the Otter vista view back when there is a Geology section as it shows the dissected plateau - the "mountain tops" are all the same height. Also it is a view south and the lead image is north. Agree the Flickr images are noting great, but thanks for looking. Will be fairly busy in real life this week.

Good plans all, now to win the lottery so I can do nothing but edit (and revert spam). Actually Pine Creek will be a bear - it is the largest creek in the US and three of its four main tribs (Little Pine, Babb and probably Marsh creeks) have enough to be FAs too, plus the gorge, the rail trail, the three state parks, multiple natural and wild areas, West Rim and other trails... (starts wimpering). There is a reason why Plunketts Creek is FA and Pine Creek is still start class. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:10, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello ... Thanks for the advice about the PHMC webpage on key dates for municipalities [2]. As a matter of fact, I've been using that webpage all along. At first I cited it conscientiously, but as time wore on, as I was filling in settlement and incorporation dates in the infoboxes, I got lazy about citations.
There are some problematic municipalities:
In any event, I'll fill in as many of the blanks in the infoboxes as I can for my home region, but I'll leave other parts of the state to other editors.
My next goal is to write at least one paragraph of history for every borough/city in Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties. (For example, I wrote the history section for Monessen, my parents' hometown.) I see that you've been busy with repetitive "tidying" tasks. Drats, this Wiki stuff is addictive. How many Wiki users do you think suffer from OCD? Canadian2006 ( talk) 21:08, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

How can I start a discussion about Lawrenceville on its discussion page? In an encyclopedic article I feel a picture of downtown Lawrenceville would be more representative of the borough than the out of the way library. Of course I'd need to build a concensus on this and then find a picture of the beating heart of the metropolis. Amd194 ( talk) 13:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
I have actually been to Ronneburg and replied on its talk page. I added a fair use template to the Leonard Harrison image and spent a while looking for a bigger version (no look, but the Wellsboro Electric Company has the same photo tinted blue here. I think I replied to everything else - still have a few things to add to History and then Dillon's book on "Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon" has a lot on wildlife and plants plus some from Owlett I need to add.

I ma done with the article - will be offline for the next 10 or so hours - feel free to nominate it. I asked User:Moni3 if she wanted to still weigh in on the PR or not, so please check my talk, the PR and her talk here before making the nom. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) Yes, I can see where that might be seen as a conflict of interest. I am already involved in the FAC for Crown Fountain but that has been going on for weeks. I also try to avoid asking people to weigh in - don't want to run into WP:CANVASS trouble. I need to make Lenny - still no word back from the DCNR - and have covered bridges that are close to done.

I got more photos of Colton Point State Park today and will try to upload them soon. Thanks for your expansion work. I went to weigh in on the Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/White Pines Forest State Park and saw you beat me to it. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:21, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
(outdent)It looks good, I was ultra busy today and am hoping to get the bridge ready to send to PR next, then I can obsess more about Colton Point. I think the lead should definitely mention the entire park is a NRHP historic district (and I agree a separate NRHP only article makes little sense). I also think there could be a CCC section - I read in Owlett or Dillon or perhaps the Spotlight that the CCC built the facilities in one year after the banner year for tourists in 1936. Apparently there was not much at the park before that - they also built the road to the park (on old lumber roads / rail grades). Off to do some PR then bridge work - thanks for the assessment. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
I started Daryll Clark today. Any help or input will be greatly appreciated. Do you have a pic? If not I could look on flickr later.

Back in March, you moved Deep Creek Lake, Maryland to Deep Creek Lake State Park. I'm not sure that this is correct. While the state owns the lake and shoreline, it's my understanding that the lake itself is not considered part of the State Park.

Hello Dincher. In response to your question of September 10 2008...

The DYK rules say it has to be a five-fold expansion, not counting infoboxes, tables, images, and refs. The rules are here and there is a character counter there too.
