List of counties in Maryland

Notified: WikiProject Maryland, WikiProject U.S. counties, nominator is long-inactive

2007 promotion, fails FLCR 3b with several citation needed tags and an unsourced section. Also fails 5c; flag and seal should not be sortable and the former counties table does not have column and row headers. Talk page concerns went unanswered. charlotte ^👸♥ 03:12, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I've fixed the table accessibility issues that you've pointed out.

Remaining problems:

1. Sourcing issues.
2. The lead map, and the flags and seal images in the table require alt text. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

• I would recommend in general removing the FIPS code column, which is meaningless to almost everyone and makes the table too wide for most screens. Mattximus (talk) 15:12, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

• Also there is no date for both the population and area in the heading row. Mattximus (talk) 17:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I've added a few sources – couldn't address all of the "citation needed" tags, but it's a start. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:00, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I've added one more source but found nothing in reliable sources regarding the defunct counties. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 08:27, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

I believe this is close to being resolved, which is the reason I haven't delisted it yet. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't want to let this unnecessarily linger. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Still missing some critical things, like date on the population column. It's also pretty clumsily written. Consider: "The last new county formation in occurred when Garrett County was formed in 1872". This could use a copy edit to get to featured list status. Although not critical like the first two points, I don't think there should be a FIPS column as it's not useful to most people and makes the table extra wide which makes it hard on smaller devices. Mattximus (talk) 18:14, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

it's impossible to remove the fips code. The parameter is required by the template Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 10:34, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@RunningTiger123: I have taken care of the remaining unsourced content. Would you be willing to handle some of the alt text? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 10:47, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I believe I have added alt text to all of the images – any help confirming that the descriptions are accurate would be great. RunningTiger123 (talk) 04:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Everything lines up, @Queen of Hearts: any further issues or can this be closed? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:43, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. charlotte ^👸♥ 04:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Are we satisfied that the issues have been addressed @Queen of Hearts? Hey man im josh (talk) 14:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

List of municipalities in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania

Notified: WikiProject Pennsylvania

I am nominating this as the data is 25 (!!!) years out of date, missing both the 2010 and 2020 census updates. It was one of the earlier featured lists but hasn't been taken care of for well over a decade. Mattximus (talk) 17:30, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

• In addition to 25 year old data, there is also lots of unsourced sections, no alt text for images, a census designated place is added for some reason (unsourced), outdated wording ("The map shown below is clickable"), broken format in notes, just very far from featured standards. Mattximus (talk) 17:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I have notified the original FLC nominator, Ruhrfisch (diff). RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification. Is there a model FL that we could look at for updates? Would updating to 2020 Census data be sufficient (or should the list have 2000, 2010, and 2020 data, and if so why not go back further in time)? Also, if we are making improvements, what time frame is there? - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:14, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Just 2020 should be sufficient for this list. Any more and the table would be too wide. There is quite a bit more that just the new census data needed to get it up to standard, but I'm sure there should be sufficient time if someone is working on it. Mattximus (talk) 03:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I have a link which I think should work as one reference for the 2020 US Census populations of all 52 incorporated divisions, as well as all 52 of their areas - see https://data.census.gov/profile?g=060XX00US4208102656. Or would you prefer links to each of the 52 individual 2020 US Census pages for each township, borough, and city for the population and 52 more individual links for each of the 52 areas (so 1 link or 104 links for references)? - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

One link in header would be ideal. Usually the US Census includes a single document with all the counties on one page, but honestly that is minor and can be done later. I'm happy with the link you provided in the header. No need for 104 links. Mattximus (talk) 21:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Could someone look at my alt texts added so far and make sure that they are OK? I am also not sure what to use for alt text for the small locator maps for each municipality. I thought of just using "locator map" as the alt text - would that be OK? I have looked for a single document for the 2020 Census for Lycoming County, but have not been able to find it so far. I am compiling the populations and areas for all 52 of the municipalities, and will then edit them all in at once. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 17:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

I'd probably say something to the effect of "<blank township> highlighted in red on a map of Lycoming County." Locator map is possibly fine as well, but I don't think it's particularly helpful if we had all of the images with the exact same alt text. Appreciate your effort and work on this @Ruhrfisch! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:29, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I did not add alt text to the 52 Lycoming County locator maps yet. I could also do something like "Blank Township highlighted in red in northwest corner of Lycoming County map", to give a sense of where the twp is. Although there are a lot of small munis in the center of the county, which would be harder to describe. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 06:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I have added alt text to all 52 locator maps in the first table per Hey man im josh's suggestion above "NAME highlighted in red on a map of Lycoming County". I think this addresses all of the major problems identified in the lede and Municipalities section. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 23:14, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I have made all the fixes I could find. I would appreciate it if someone took another look and let me know what else (if anything) needs to be done to keep it as a FL. Thanks in advance, - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 19:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Updates and Improvements

I am starting a new section to keep track of edits made to update and improve the list.

• Edited the lead map to remove the Census-Designate Place (CDP), and its labels, and moved the Old Lycoming Township label inside the township - see File:Map of Lycoming County Pennsylvania With Municipal and Township Labels.png, it may take a while to update how it displays here.
• Removed the row on the Garden View CDP from the table. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
• Added alt text to all photos and maps with captions (not sure what to do with other maps).
• Edited the image map template to remove the CDP and removed "Clickable map" test here
• Switched all "Image:" names to "File:" - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 22:42, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
• Copy edited introductory paragraphs, updated some refs, and all populations to 2020 Census in first table. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 05:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
• The first table (Lycoming County's 52 municipalities) should be updated with 2020 census population AND 2023 areas (switched all to convert template, now area given in square miles to 3 decimal places, as per the US Census webpage). Added a ref for areas.
• Tweaked two paragraphs in municipalities section, - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 06:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
• Added alt text per suggestion above to all locator maps in Table 1. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 23:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
• In the process of adding PennDOT map references for all of the townships and the villages they contain, so that villages will be up to date and consistent. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:37, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
• Villages based on what is shown on PennDOT maps of each of the 42 townships have all been added, as well as refs for all maps and PennDOT's definition of a village. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 04:51, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
• All of the townships formerly incorporated in Lycoming County in the second table have been updated for their 2020 population and 2023 area. I think it is pretty close to being done / all upgraded, but need to check all the links and look things over again. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 21:43, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
• Cleaned up references, added some refs, general cleanup. I think it is ready for another look, hopefully out of FLRC. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 19:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

  Thank you for the hard work you've been putting in on this @Ruhrfisch. @Mattximus, have all your concerns been addressed? Hey man im josh (talk) 14:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Glad to work on this. Once it is off FLRC, I intend to update List of municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, another FL with some similar issues (although it is a simpler list with fewer municipalities, and no second list of former townships). - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Went through and made a few changes, and now I support taking this off FLRC. Excellent work, well done! Mattximus (talk) 00:23, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Thanks for the edits and for your support. - Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 04:05, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Bleach season 4

Notified: Sephiroth BCR, WikiProject Anime and manga, WikiProject Television

This list is missing key sections (namely production and reception), has poor sourcing (too many primary sources or lower-quality sources), and overall fails to meet present-day expectations for season articles. See also the related FLRCs for seasons 1, 2, and 3. RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:36, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

• Remove per my reasoning on the previous three seasons. TheDoctorWho (talk) 22:43, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Remove. Not a list (no season article is a list article), not even close to GA status. Gonnym (talk) 13:12, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
