Template talk:Texas

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There are way too many counties in Texas (200-250) for this to be plastered on so many pages... RADICALBENDER★ 17:03, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Are you people nuts? At least break off the counties from the rest of them. --Jiang 20:25, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
JCarriker proposed on my talk page: "Break into two seperate templates. One for regions and cities and another for the counties. I would like to change largest cities to largest metropolitan areas which is used more internationally than largest cities and also gives a better crossection of what the major cities actually are. Many of the cities included in the list are suburbs, and the concept of a suburb being a city is somewhat controvrsial in the U.S. and not widely accepted out side of it. You can find a link to the 25 largest metro areas on my user page."
I second this proposal. --Jiang 04:09, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Jiang and I have agreed to reduce the size of the template by removing counties to a separate template or category tag. I will make the changes immediately. -JCarriker 04:59, Jun 19, 2004 (UTC)
Question about recent revision
I would like to know why the revision by Dufekin was removed. In my opinion, Dufekin's version was more visually appealing. --DXI 01:13, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
27 Metropolitan Areas and name changes as of November 2004
As of November 2004 "definition," there are now 27 (there were 24) metropolitan area in Texas designated by the U.S. Census.
There were some changes and two of the most major changes were from "Houston-Galveston-Brazoria" to Houston—Sugar Land—Baytown. The other major change was from "Dallas-Fort Worth" to Dallas—Fort Worth—Arlington.
This template had the old definition of 24 metropolitan areas and old place names used by the U.S. Census prior to the 2003 "definition." I updated it to the current "definition" designated by the U.S. Census with 27 metro areas and some name changes. Believe it and accept the fact that Galveston was dropped from the name after being on there for a very long time. Some Houstonians or people living in this metro area need to accept it and move on.
