  • 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.
  • Your titles should be in Title Case
  • The NY Times article should have Staff as the author.
  • 1990 Luzerne County Map (Sheet 1) - Sheet 1 should be in pages and removed from the title of the map.

}}

2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
2c. it contains no original research. Pending
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. Pending
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Pending
7. Overall assessment.
Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above concerns. Dough4872 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • " 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...
  • Make sure all your PA nnn's have non-breaking spaces.
  • 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 ().
  • "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?
