LEAD-IN SENTENCE

A truncated sentence at the beginning of an already pre-referenced definition is acceptable style. Also, it prevents tiresome repetion of the same wording ( which has been compared to a bad carpenter hitting a flush nail twice). The readers will know I can write complete sentences when they finish the rest of this multi-paragraph article.

WESTERN PENNSTLVANIA. Western Pennsylvania is...

Gee, with style like that, how can we loose? There is NOTHING in the manual of style that prohibits a truncated first sentence. Quit talking through your hat. -JN

Hey, " Gang". You can't think of a way to resolve repeating a phrase that recurs two times in four words at the very beginning of an opening sentence? I really adnire your sense of writing style. - JN

Please take a look at the Wikipedia:Manual of style, as well as any other article here. Articles should have the subject bolded in the first sentence or two, and we make sure to use complete sentences. The change you're trying to implement starts the article with a sentence fragment.

Western Half or Western Third?

Which is it? (See the respective first sentences in the introduction and Description sections.) --ThorstenNY 03:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

This article could use a visual (perhaps a map?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.199.32 (talk) 00:01, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Kudos

I'm a nearly lifelong Pixburgher, with over ten years as a Wikipedia editor. Tonight I saw this article for the first time. IMHO, it's a REALLY good one. There's stuff in here that I never knew abaht before, and I'm no jagoff. For example, I've been to just abaht every Cahnty Courthaas in W. Pa., had many ice cream cones and chipped ham sandwiches at Isaly's, bought lotsa stuff at Gimbels, Hornes, Kaufmanns, and Boggs & Buhl, have gotten all three papers at once (the Press, Sun Tele, and Post-Gazette), listened faithfully to Rosey Rowswell, Bob Prince, Porky Chedwick, Pal Pallen, Party Line, n'at. Good work, fellows! Lou Sander (talk) 02:19, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
