Wondering how to edit this State Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. States standards might help.

re "Pennsylvania's government is unique as it was based on consensus rather than voting?. " The mixed tenses leaves me as the reader uncertain about whether we are talking about the state's current government or its government during colonial times. Eclecticology, Saturday, June 29, 2002
What format should the "State Information" be in? I put it in two formats for comment. -- Ram-Man
- The only thing in that table that I would consider "state information" is the capital. But that's just my cynical opinion. :) --Brion
- Yeah, I don't like the title either. It could use something more creative. I'm not feeling especially creative right now. But I've found things like state xxxx in encyclopedias before. I wondered if the table would be appropriate, or just a boring list like everything else. -- Ram-Man
- I think I'll keep it since I already went through the effort. If someone else wants to change it to something that pleases them, more power to them. I personally like it. We shall see if in time others agree. BTW, it is not that hard to make a table. -- Ram-Man
It has already been suggested elsewhere that a modified WikiProject Countries table should also be used for major administrative subdivisions like states. See also the currently dormant WikiProject U.S. States. That is the place to work this out. BTW, there is little reason not to have two tables in each state article -- of course the officia state x table found here is not as important as population and such. --mav
Question
From article: Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was one of the most important figures in Pennsylvania's history, although he was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He founded the University of Pennsylvania in 1742. He had the distinction of signing both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. He is buried with his wife Deborah in Christ Church Cemetery in the city. What city? Pollinator 15:44, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Right here in Philly. I've changed it-- good point. Marnanel 19:58, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)
Towns in Pennsylvania
There are hundreds of Wikipedia articles about towns in Pennsylvania that haven't been updated since 2003 began. Can you put a Media Wiki box in these towns?? 66.32.74.97 01:28, 29 May 2004 (UTC)
