Cleanup December 2006
Reorganized and cleaned up some of this page. History section still needs some work. I will eventually make a population box. Wrightchr 22:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Correction of Boston Bulldogs information
Removed following text from article: "The Boston Bulldogs became defunct after a few years and re-emerged in
The reason being that both NFL.com and Answers.com state very plainly that the franchise folded in 1929. Additionally, neither the NFL website or the Redskins website mention a continuation of the Bulldogs. This would indicate that they do not recognize a link between franchises.

Yuengling
Since a case can be made that Yuengling is the thing for which Pottsville is most well known, I feel it should be given it's own section within the article. (And I'm not saying that because I wrote most of that section originally...) I wanted to get opinions before making any changes, since there has been a concerted effort to clean this article up...Bowie60 19:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Most of the 19th Century section in History is devoted to basic backround information about Yuengling; however, if important historical facts can be added, in keeping with a concise and professional appearance to the article, by all means add to it. What I wouldn't want to see is a good portion of Pottsville being devoted to Yuengling, that ultimately undermines the whole point of cleaning it up in the first place. Repeating information in both the Yuengling and Pottsville articles doesn't make much sense. Wrightchr 07:01, 23 January 2007
Ok, good point. I'll leave it be, unless something really good comes to my attention.Bowie60 18:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

John Potts Biegraphy
I feel kinda concerned there is little to no information on John Potts. Cause I've lately been looking at geneology books on my family and found little about him. Cause I'm a x4 great grandson of John Potts and I want to know things like his birth and death dates, etc. But just writting little about the founder of Pottsville is kind of rediculous and want more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nderadio96 (talk • contribs) 14:27, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Why is the area code not showing?
You know the box which includes things like the zipcode and website link? I am NOT seeing the area code (570), but when I go into the editor I **DO** see it. Why does it not display? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 16:33, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
