This is a very useful and informative template. I was wondering if their is a similar list or template that lists HBCU's by state. Dincher ( talk) 04:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering what state park map to work on next (I know, World's End awaits). One thought I had was a single map for both Colton Point and Leanard Harrison - what do you think? Another way to ask this is which article do you want to work on improving after WESP? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Dinch, I think I have expanded the History section about as much as can be done with the refs I was able to find. I have a couple of questions. I cannot find any mention of the whitewater slalom races on the web post 2005. I also do not find anything that says the races have ended, but it seems like they might have. Barring a WP:RS though I am not sure how to include this in the article. I also note that in Black Mo, we included the 20 Must See parks in the History section. Here it is in Recreation. I actually found that the 20 must see parks first went on the web in 2004 here. Do you think I should move this? If so I can add a different intro to recreation. I also combined Horse trails and Lumber era as the Horse trails was only one paragraph long - does this seem OK? I added a bit on the family cabins sizes - tried to make it not like a travel brochure. I kind of worry that the chapel services are held elsewhere in case of rain may be seen as too brochure-y, but we can wait for Peer Review comments if you want. Finally, I note that the structure of Black Mo after History (2 Geology and climate, 3 Ecology, 4 Recreation) is much different than that of Worlds End (3 Natural history, 3.1 Wildlife, 3.2 Geology and fossils, 4 Recreation). I will work on Geology and climate next - what do you think of making a section on that, followed by an ecology section with plats and animals? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up - I think I fixed the missing refs and end of the article problem. I will also add a bit about how to get to the bridge (I have driven right past the turnoff a few times - it is not well marked). I have a fair amount of material still to add - more on the 1998 rehab, some more details on the structure, an incident in 2000 when a propane truck going to the hunting camp damaged it and it had to be repaired again. One of the refs in Worlds End is not working - natural history or wildlife. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Dincher. Is that your last name?

Looks good - I added the topic (geography). I heard back from the NRHP already and they do not have anything on the bridge that is not already online, so I am going to submit to FAC later today. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Dincher, thanks for the note. I'm frightfully occupied at the moment, I'm afraid, so I may not be able to get to the PR in time. If it's still around after this weekend, I may stop in, but no promises. Sorry and best of luck, María ( habla con migo) 12:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I am surprised it is not yet on Wikipedia, glad you are adding it. There must be an infobox for it somewhere (Ferry or NRHP). ALthough I have driven past the sign many times, I have never stopped to see it or ride it or even get a picture. Possible DYK from the lead, something along the lines DYK ... that the Millersburg Ferry in Pennsylvania is the last ferry on the Susquehanna River and the last authentic stern-wheeled paddle wheeler operating in the United States? I have all of the Forksville pics on COmmons and will add them to the bridge article (which is pretty much done - feedack welcome) next. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the review comments - I have fixed both. The article just said Lewis was from Hillsgrove, but the link was to the township anyway.

PS I found the Hillsgrove Covered Bridge is really in Hillsgrove Twp, not Elkland (two sources wrong, but PennDOT map, USGS topo map, and NBI all agree it is in Hillsgrove.
I was looking on the NY Times to see if I could find his obituary, but I did not find it. I would tweak the DYK slightly, but it is similar to what I was thinking of (scientist and naturalist). The tweak is that he did not invent the process by which Corelle was made, just the furnace that made it possible for Corning to make it. How about Did you know that... Frank W. Preston invented the furnace which made Corelle glassware possible and worked to establish Moraine State Park in Pennsylvania? I also note the years of his birth are inconsistent in the article. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Finetooth noticed a problem with Geobox River about the same time, which has also been resolved without any action on his part. I did not see the problems. My guess is there was either Geobox vandalism or a good faith code change that had unintended consequences, or perhaps something with the Wiki software (Peer Review was truncated a while ago because of that). Thanks for the heads up and glad someone solved the problem. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dincher, if you check this link [3], which is referenced in article, it lists Reder as a Crosscutters player. I know the Williamsport Crosscutters article says the team was formed in 1994.

Hi Dinch, I did not have internet access for a day or so (just got back on) and have limited access for the next day. I like the DYK idea, but would make it clearer they were a baseball team. Perhaps DYK... that former members of the minor league Williamsport Bills include World Series mananger Clint Hurdle, all-star Tino Martinez and Dave Bresnahan who threw a potato instead of a baseball into left field? Tried to add minor league and baseball - links would be good too. Take care, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:16, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
