Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC) With History of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Selections Vol. 1, you are citing an awful lot of pages, I'd probably move it into a bibliography item and then use the author/pg number cites in your references list. Fixed. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC) Your titles should be in Title Case All the titles look fine to me. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC) The NY Times article should have Staff as the author. Added. Dough4872 1990 Luzerne County Map (Sheet 1) - Sheet 1 should be in pages and removed from the title of the map. Fixed. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC) }}

• " is a 35.7-mile (57.5 km) north–south" - I'd use |adj=mid|-long at the end of your convert to display it as 35.7-mile-long...

• Fixed. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

• Make sure all your PA nnn's have non-breaking spaces.

• Added non breaking spaces. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

• In your block quote "Slocum Hollow (now Scranton) " - did you add (now Scranton) or is that how it appears in the text? If you added it, you need to use [square brackets] and not ().

• Changed to square brackets. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

• "The road was completed by 1815 at a total expense of US$75,000." - Is US$ needed? I'd just use $. Also, can we get an inflation figure for this?

• Removed "US" and added inflation. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

• I know in most states we add pages to Category:Transportation in Salt Lake County, Utah or the similar, is this something PA doesn't do or was it just an oversight?

• Added categories. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
