==Politics==
The politics section says Lancaster is home to the Constitution Party, the largest third party in the US. Every source I see puts the Libertarian Party as the largest third party, so if no one can find a source for this claim I'm going to change it. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Benny215|Benny215]] ([[User talk:Benny215|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Benny215|contribs]]) 23:59, 22 August 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I added the {{tl|otheruses}} template because editors periodically add things to this article that should be in the county article. I believe that it is beneficial for this reason but I welcome any feedback. Thanks, --[[User:Clubjuggle|Clubjuggle]] <sup><small>[[User_Talk:Clubjuggle|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#0047AB;">'''T'''</fontspan>]]</small></sup>/[[Special:Contributions/Clubjuggle|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#0047AB;"><small>'''C'''</small></fontspan>]] 17:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
:I've got no problem with the hatnote. For awile the "Notable residents" section had that problem alot, but since I put in an HTML comment, it seems to have largely gone away. --[[User:Dtbohrer|​​<fontspan sizestyle="4"font-size:large; face="font-family:Rage Italic"; color=":darkgreen;">​​D.B.]]</fontspan>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Dtbohrer|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkgreen"; face="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;">talk</span>]]•[[Special:Contributions/Dtbohrer|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkgreen"; face="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;">contribs</span></font>]]</sup> 17:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I found new data on Lancaster city's population and feel it should be added, however I am to lazy to do so. The information should be accurate and up to date the census has given out new data. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Cmillsy03|Cmillsy03]] ([[User talk:Cmillsy03|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cmillsy03|contribs]]) 15:38, 4 April 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
Because the census includes illegal immigrants, and because it depends upon voluntary cooperation, census data can be wildly inaccurate. It should also be noted in the article that Lancaster (like Lebanon and Bethlehem and small towns across PA) has a significant quantity of illegal aliens and that the Hispanic presence there cannot simply be ascribed to Puerto Ricans. The budgetary impact is important because illegals don't pay taxes which are not embedded in the prices of food, rent, and gas, but they do have high birth rates leaving taxpayers to cope with more public school expenses, more crime, etc. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/75.97.69.229|75.97.69.229]] ([[User talk:75.97.69.229|talk]]) 13:06, 28 May 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Is this section even notable, it is very vague "one of the highest" etc. It looked to be originally written as a advert for a business. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/174.59.110.6|174.59.110.6]] ([[User talk:174.59.110.6|talk]]) 21:12, 7 January 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
==Pronunciation==
There was a faulty pronunciation at the top (neither the local, the American, nor the British pronunciation): if someone figures out where it came from, feel free to explain. Removed the British pronunciation as irrelevant. The general American pronunciation could be reincluded, but IMHO should be left to [[wikt:Lancaster|Wiktionary]] since only the local pronunciation is pertinent to this particular page.&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User talk:LlywelynII|<span class="texhtml" style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em;">Llywelyn<span style="color:gold;">II</span></span>]] 03:56, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 
Hello! I just noticed that the general American pronunciation is listed first, with the local pronunciation listed second. To locals like me, the general American pronunciation is like nails on a chalkboard. It really shouldn't be listed on this page, lest it cause confusion over its acceptability. I noticed that the page for [[Cairo, Illinois]], which also has a counterintuitive pronunciation, only lists the local pronunciation because that is the correct pronunciation. Lancaster's distinct pronunciation is already listed on Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_in_the_United_States_with_counterintuitive_pronunciations:_A%E2%80%93L#L|list of places with counterintuitive pronunciations]. Local media like Penn Live, the ''York Daily Record'', and ''USA Today'' have also covered this distinction, which can be seen at http://www.pennlive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/12/dear_bradley_cooper_this_is_ho.html and http://www.ydr.com/story/news/2017/08/31/youre-not-central-pa-local-if-you-struggle-pronounce-these-places/603305001/. Can this be corrected, with only the correct local pronunciation listed? Perhaps the distinction can be addressed later in the article. Thanks!

== External links modified ==
 
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
 
I have just added archive links to {{plural:2|one external link|2 external links}} on [[Lancaster, Pennsylvania]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=678393508 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20150201195220/http://www.ncl.org/aac/past_winners/past_winners.html to http://www.ncl.org/aac/past_winners/past_winners.html

== Fire department infobox ==
 
Per [[WP:INFOBOXREF]]: The fire department infobox is unnecessary. This article isn't about the fire department. The information in the infobox can be merged into the article. Thank you for your input. [[User:Magnolia677|Magnolia677]] ([[User talk:Magnolia677|talk]]) 01:11, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 
== Conflict regarding date of settlement ==
 
The History section states: "Lancaster was part of the 1681 Penn's Woods Charter of William Penn, and was laid out by James Hamilton in 1734." However, the banner on the right margin states "Founded: 1722" Actually the term "founded" should never be used. What people doing genealogy want to know is the date people started to build permanent homes.
