I'd done some massive work on this article to greatly expand it from a stub to its current fuller state, however its seriously lacking in imagery. I haven't been able to find a single free use image in Flickr, Google images, archives, anywhere of any of the creamery facilities. Any members in Harrisburg who might be able to go by the Hershey Creamery Company and take a picture of its headquarters, and maybe someone in Lower Swatara who could get a picture of that newer distro facility they opened there? It would really help improve the article before a GA run. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 14:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:15, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

At three miles island the location of the plant is given as "three miles downriver from Middletown, Pennsylvania" and " Londonderry Township, Pennsylvania", but both of these links go to disambiguious pages.

On 4 March 2009, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) released a study of its 22 museums and historic sites, here: " Planning Our Future: Sustainability Committee Final Report". It recommended discontinuing operations at six of its sites, four of which are National Historic Landmarks. Proposed cuts to the PHMC budget mean these sites could close as early as July 1, 2009:

I'd like opinions on moving many Pennsylvania township articles. Some months ago, Omnedon and I moved all Minnesota townships to "_____ Township, _____ County, Minnesota". Prior to this time, they had been in a format similar to those of Pennsylvania: townships with unique names were at "_____ Township, Minnesota", while those with duplicate names were already at "_____ Township, _____ County, Minnesota". We did this in the interests of consistency: it's much simpler when all the townships have the same naming format. What would all of you think about moving most Pennsylvania townships so that they're all located at "_____ Township, _____ County, Pennsylvania"? Nyttend ( talk) 13:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Articles regarding the Pennsylvania State Senate and the Pennsylvania House of Representatives have passed some major milestones recently. First, every State Rep and Senator who served from 2000-now has at least a bare-bones article. However, these articles still need to be fleshed out, and everyone is invited to help out. Every State Rep article has at least an archived external link to an official PA House profile. This can be used for biographical data. The Senator articles still don't have this, but such links can be found here: ( 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008). The article for Thomas W. Dempsey is a good example of how these can look.
Second, every PA Senate district and PA House District have articles. However, most of the senate and many house articles still need a table of representatives. That data can be found here. The article for the 83rd district is a good example of how these can look. I would invite everyone to help us out!-- A. Gorilla ( talk) 03:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Standard Steel Casting Company, Thurlow, Pennsylvania, was the largest plant in the country for the manufacture of open hearth steel castings. This concern made all the most important castings for battleships, cruisers and ordnance for the United States Government. They also made locomotives, e.g., TRAINS, railroad tracks and much more. Thurlow, Pennsylvania is mentioned in several other articles in this encyclopedia!!! Thurlow, Pennsylvania should not be deleted; rather its location which is now Chester, Pennsylvania, should be indicated in the article with an explanation (or a historical note perhaps). It has value to Historians and Genealogy Researchers. My LONG ancestors who invented The Long Rifle settled Longstown, Pennsylvania. Longstown (Union County, Pennsylvania), is now New Berlin. A quick dip into Linn's Annals reveals MANY such changes.
If this encyclopedia is to serve its purpose, deleting the name of a town because its name was changed means it never existed, right? WRONG!!!

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

On Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#Municipal authorities/special district governments there is a proposal to add a great many (1,700, more or less) new Pennsylvania government stubs with a bot.

Here is a short how-to on the way to create the Lists of municipal authorities:
=Proper(A1)
commands to get the data out of the ALL CAPS format and into a more usable "proper" capitalization. You will probably have to run some find/replace searches to turn the Mcc, Mca, and other strings into McC and McA. Some of the government names had some descriptors in (Parentheses), which are probably added by the Census. Delete them, so you have the proper title.=CONCATENATE(A1)
commands to collect the various columns into 1 cell per row, with the requisite "||" characters into a form that was easily plugged into the Wikitable code.I have added Article alerts from the User:ArticleAlertbot and placed a request for automatic Wikiproject tagging at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 45#WikiProject tagging for Wikipedia:WikiProject Pennsylvania. That might jump start this project-- Blargh29 ( talk) 07:03, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I have asked for someone to vectorize some of the images from the articles of List of Pennsylvania state agencies. Maybe someone here has some of the skills? Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop#SVG of Pennsylvania Government Logos-- Blargh29 ( talk) 05:19, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
I have compiled all members of Ed Rendell's cabinet in a template. All of these articles are stubs and could use some expansions. They all have some relevant sources that could be used in the expansion. -- Blargh29 ( talk) 06:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
On Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#Municipal authorities/special district governments there is a proposal to add a great many (1,700, more or less) new Pennsylvania government stubs with a bot. I suspect that the volume would be overwhelming. Please check it out, and comment appropriately.-- DThomsen8 ( talk) 17:30, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Here is a short how-to on the way to create the Lists of municipal authorities:
=Proper(A1)
commands to get the data out of the ALL CAPS format and into a more usable "proper" capitalization. You will probably have to run some find/replace searches to turn the Mcc, Mca, and other strings into McC and McA. Some of the government names had some descriptors in (Parentheses), which are probably added by the Census. Delete them, so you have the proper title.=CONCATENATE(A1)
commands to collect the various columns into 1 cell per row, with the requisite "||" characters into a form that was easily plugged into the Wikitable code.I have added Article alerts from the User:ArticleAlertbot and placed a request for automatic Wikiproject tagging at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 45#WikiProject tagging for Wikipedia:WikiProject Pennsylvania. That might jump start this project-- Blargh29 ( talk) 07:03, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
List of United States federal courthouses in Pennsylvania is now being put together. I would estimate that there are about a dozen federal courthouses missing from the list (the older ones of which will be found here), and would appreciate any help in getting this done.

Each person who has served in the Pennsylvania State Senate and Pennsylvania House of Representatives since 1969 now has at least a stub article.-- Blargh29 ( talk) 06:08, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
