middle of writing articles about them. Throughout the Commonwealth (as in all other US states), we include unincorporated communities; there's no reason to remove Cedar Run from the Lycoming County template but to leave communities such as Fombell on the Beaver County template. As far as Watkinsian — the whole point of a template is to reflect information on templates, and verifiability for such templates depends on the articles. Watkinsian continues to add information that's not in sources (and in some cases, goes against the sources on the articles); if s/he found sources and wrote articles, I wouldn't complain, but without any sources the changes are bigtime problematic. Ruhrfisch, I'm really busy this coming week; could you please put together some stubs (even if they're as short as

I don't like replying on my own talk page, but no point in replying to both of you separately :-) The point of a navigational template is to allow one to go from article to article, not to list every community in a county; for that reason, I don't like having redlinks on a template unless I'm in the

Paragraph 1; keeping templates to a manageable size. If we include bodies of water, where do you draw the line? Why not include other geographic features....then suddenly the template is over-sized and reduces its usefulness. If there's going to be a template with bodies of water, I think it

I removed the communities (villages) from this template. It was incomplete and I don't think they are needed in the first place. The county is full of little unincorporated communities: Nisbet, Collomsville, Oval, Oriole, Waterville, Barbours, are just a view that come to mind.
408:. The others (besides Faxon and Garden View) are Oval, Kenmar, and a bit of Rauchtown. I know the standard is that all populated places are notable, but I think including red links in a nav box defeats the purpose of a nav box. 385:) 21:03, 5 February 2011 (UTC) The communities list is still incomplete. Why aren't we working to solve this problem? The back and forth of editing isn't getting us anywhere. 295: 233:
Thanks - I am not sure how to include tributaries of the tributaries (they are in parentheses following the main trib now). The first template is based on the one for the

I can make stubs. Thanks for the model article. I first brought this up on the template talk page, then came here when there was no response there.

There is an edit war going on now - the Census Bureau has added some new CDPs in lycoming County though I've only seen it own maps so far.

I think that bodies of water could be added to this template. Is their a wiki policy against adding bodies of water to county templates?
237:. The West Branch tribs in the second nav box is also nowhere near complete. I will work on it as I can but am pretty busy right now. 33: 377:
My preference is to wait for the census info and add the CDP's, but exclude any place that is not a CDP or a municipality.

The new 2010 Census results are trickling out and there are several new CDPs in Lycoming County, including Faxon (which
