Notes on this article

This article incorporates essentially all of the information I could find on Plunketts Creek, so if there are missing topics or details, I am not sure they can be found (although I am sure there are things I have not yet found out there). I have run the semi-automated peer review script on the article and it finds several apparent errors which are not actually there (as noted).

The 17 additive terms includes the letters "also" in Loyalsock (Creek and State Forest), not the actual word "also".

Difference between an unincorporated village and a hamlet

Of the three settlements that the creek passes through, Proctor and Barbours are described as unincorporated villages in the article, while Hoopestown is described as a hamlet. Is there a meaningful difference between an unincorporated village and a hamlet, to the point that we need to differentiate the two in the introduction? By my understanding, both terms refer to an unincorporated community, and the distinction between the two is mostly regional. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 20:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Outskirts of Proctor, showing PennDOT's "Village of Proctor" sign
In my mind a village is bigger than a hamlet. Barbours and Proctor both look like a village - they have a few dozen houses, and other stuff (fire hall and library branch in Barbours, a store and a church in Proctor) and there is more than one road in each. Hoppestown is much smaller - although it is shown on maps, when I've driven the road through Hoppestown there is never really a place where I thought "this is where Hoppestown is". There are a several places where there are a few houses together along the road, but I could be wrong as to which clump of 3 or 4 houses it is. There is no crossroad and nothing but houses.

Thinking about this further, politically none of these are separately incorporated places - they are all part of Plunketts Creek Township (which is incorporated). However, PennDOT does put up signs for some unincorporated places that say "Village of ___". Barbours and Proctor both have such signs, but Hoppestown does not (again adding to the confusion of where it is). So at least when writing this, I had PennDOT signage in mind as to why Babrours and Proctor are villages and Hoppestown is not. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:51, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
