[edit] Top 5 Cities

Could a user edit this page to include a list of the top 5 municipalities in Bucks County?

[edit] Ads

I removed two external links that seemed only to be ads for magazines:

  • BUCKS Magazine – arts, culture & lifestyle magazine based in New Hope
  • LifeStyle Magazine – a full featured and freely distributed magazine for Bucks County

Neither one focused on the county itself from their websites. I left Art Chatter for now as it focuses on the county and area (as opposed to being produced in, and distributed and marketed to the area). Does anyone else have an opinion about Art Chatter? Thanks, Ruhrfisch 00:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal from east Philadelphia

pool-72-92-106-236.phlapa.east.verizon.net keeps vandalizing Pennsylvania pages, trying to add content that's not just POV content, but highly questionable.

This last time, he added this The foreign-born population is skyrocketing in Bucks County. As of 2004 Census Estimations, the [[Mexican American|Mexican]], [[Indian American|Indian]], and Other Hispanic([[Dominican Republic|Dominicans]], [[Central Americans]], [[South America|South Americans]]) doubled[http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/states/pennsylvania/15274492.htm], while [[Korean American|Koreans]] and [[Chinese American|Chinese]] added a few thousand.[http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/113-09032006-706866.html]

  • It's lying to say the information comes from the Census when in fact, he's relying on the Inquirer to get it right.
  • It's lying to say the source talks about "Dominican" "South American" and "Central American" populations, when the words "Dominican", "South" and "Central" don't appear in the article at all.
  • It's lying to say the population has doubled in Bucks County when the article instead says the population has doubled in Chester County.
  • It's lying to cite the article from PhillyBurbs as talking about the Korean and Chinese population growing by a few thousand when it doesn't contain the words "Korean" or "Chinese" at all.
  • The word "skyrocketing" is highly POV. It's not a term found in either of the sources he cites. What does the Census Data say? When you look at the 2005 American Community Survey for Bucks County, Pennsylvania, table B05006 is "Place of birth for the foreign-born population", the Census bureau says, "Data for the following geographic area(s) cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small. Geography: Bucks County, Pennsylvania"

Is it any wonder that this clown posts anonymously? ClairSamoht 21:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
