[edit] Possible Factual Errors
There are no "trolleys" in San Francisco, there are cable cars. Blondlieut 01:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Baptist Bible College is actually in Clarks Summit, PA, not Scranton, PA.
- Trolley trips are now available for touring the city, similar to San Francisco.
Item is duplication, anyway. I've deleted for that reason.

[edit] Photos Featured
That is not the city seal. That is the sign on top of the Scranton Electric Building. If you want to get nit picky, Baptist Bible College is in Clarks Green, not Clarks Summit.
- Agree with the seal idea, would be nice if some one could find a good image of the seal. I also am not sure if the image of the flag is the flag either. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleaning up non-neutral POV
I stumbled upon this reference in the history section, under the 1985-present segment: "Despite a culture of political corruption, the city maintains a small-town atmosphere in friendly neighborhoods." This statement is a loaded statement, and has no references. While I, a resident, do agree with the statement on personal grounds, I feel it needs to be reworded and backed up by direct citations. I have deleted it for the moment. Michael Lipik 14:09, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed Article Status
I have inserted the template for disputed article at the top of the article. I did this because the factual accuracy of the article is not determinable due to a lack of citations and references. There have been several non-NPOV (see WP:NPOV) statements made, as well (see "Cleaning up non-neutral POV"). Please do not remove this status from the article until it has attained sufficient accuracy, and citations have been provided for assertions made in the article. Michael Lipik 14:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
It seems several Northeast PA locations are getting these political inserts. See recent deletion for Nanticoke, PA.

[edit] Miscellaneous Discussion
Did anyone notice how this article has a page in other languages? How big of a database do they have? M2K e 00:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nay Aug Park zoo
The park does have a zoo that has been restored and is now operational again
[edit] Concerning Restoration
Nay Aug Park opened its swimming pools back up a year or two ago. Also, there is a great art community in Scranton. The AFA Gallery, the Test Pattern, and the Everheart Museum all hold various events by groups such as the MPWA -- Mulberry Poets and Writers Association. I didn't want to put this as a direct edit to the page because I didn't want to seem like I was simply advertizing. Are these relevant to the article?
[edit] Pot holes vandalism
What's with the vandalism and this "pot hole" obsession? There's pot holes in the entire state of Pennslvania. So what. Scranton has mine subsidence, so what; it doesn't make it famous.
This and the political barbs are a waste of time. Go away. trezjr 01:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

...or it will be removed within 48 hours.
No record of this name or the fact that it is "notable".
