How to edit[edit]

Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

History[edit]

I'm a little amazed that neither this page nor the Washington, Pennsylvania page has a "History" section, considering how much went on here between the 1780s and the 1840s. The National Road? The Whiskey Rebellion? C'mon, people! Okay, I'll have to find time, even though I don't live here. :-) --Michael K. Smith 12:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't live there either, but I'm interested in writing a history section if someone can help me out by reviewing. My family lived there from ca 1770 to 1870 before going across the river to Belmont County, OH. I've read numerous histories of the area searching for family information. I'm new to editing in Wikipedia so I'm not sure I would follow all the policies correctly. Dionhouston (talk) 20:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I encourage you to just go for it and start writing. I have written extensively about Lycoming County. When I started I was pretty new to it too. Like I said just go for it and I'll be glad to help! Dincher (talk) 21:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto - it is very useful if your contributions are based on reliable sources (history books, some history websites). I would also be glad to help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 22:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced material[edit]

The following is unsourced information:



* Washington County is the home of the PONY Baseball and Softball International Headquarters.

* WC has the largest number of covered bridges of any county in the US.

* WC PA is the home of the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum

* Several of the leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion lived in Washington and many events related to the rebellion took place there.

* The Rock SheltersatMeadowcroft Village are one of the best preserved and oldest Pre-Clovis Native American dwellings in the country.
* William Holmes McGuffey was born in this county and stayed here for the first two years of his life.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 05:09, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why not add the refs? It's pretty easy to do. Dincher (talk) 18:28, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
