location of the park and base
[edit]Willow Grove is split between three townships; Abington, Upper Moreland and Upper Dublin. Willow Grove Park was located in Abington Township, as is the current Willow Grove Park Mall which stands in the same spot. The Willow Grove Airbase is actually located a few miles north of Willow Grove in Horsham.

[edit]the Willow Grove on the Underground Railroad route refers to the unincorporated community in Delaware, not Willow Grove in PA. Willow Grove, Delaware 71.112.172.40 (talk) 02:41, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- The source webpage does not expressly mention/confirm either Willow Grove, Delaware or Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. However, given that the source webpage contains a MAP link to the former (and not to the latter), I have removed the related text. Pending clearer or more authoritative sources. Ideally ones which actually and definitively mention the town in Pennsylvania. And/or which otherwise do not require interpretation or synthesis. Guliolopez (talk) 19:40, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Last month (during December 2024) an editor added a section that has been labelled as a "case study". Per the tags that I have recently added, it reads as WP:OR and WP:NOTGENEALOGY content. The section is based almost entirely on primary sources (like census and death records), "notes" made by the editor (that appear to rely on unpublished family history research), some sources which do not appear to support the text they are placed alongside, and other webpages/links that do not mention either the topic of this article (Willow Grove, Pennsylvania) or the people mentioned in the section (members of the Carolan and Spencer families). There are so many issues with the content and format and sourcing of this section that it has hard to quantify them all. But the WP:VER, WP:PRIMARY, WP:OR and WP:NOTGENEALOGY guidelines all apply. Unless the adding editor can address the concerns raised, in all honesty, I do not see how that section can be retained. Certainly in its current form...

- OK. It seems like the editor has, themselves, removed the text/section. Guliolopez (talk) 19:42, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
