United States demographics...

All of the mainstream studies say the white European population is 69.1 percent and if you count "white" they include North African, Middle Eastern, and Hispanic. If you want to clarify how they count hispanic please feel free to do it. But the white middle eastern, north African, and European population is not 81 percent they count hispanic in that so you are presenting false information.

West Houston Link

Thank you for your reconsideration, I added the link back.

RJN-

I've been a long time lurker on wikipedia and know that you contribute a lot of your time to the Houston page. Thank you for that. I wanted to discuss my link to www.west-houston.com/map.aspx which would be nearly impossible to put on the Houston wiki page. It has in my opinion both good content, and a good basis of reasoning for it to belong.

There are no other databases for Houston new construction like the one I have compiled. It is a great tool for people to use that are looking for reliable information on new construction communities. Not only can you compare these communities by price range, but for each individual community of West Houston you can look at pictures, obtain directions, and search for resale homes in these communities. I do not require any type of registration or log-in to access any of this information. Nor do I have any reason to ever be biased towards and particular community as I have included all the home sites that I have visited. I am also linking to the applicable page rather than my general home page.

Please visit my site, and take this into consideration. I believe that the link is a rare exception because of it's direct relation and is rich in content. Many links such as the sports, colleges, and private schools could be held as being commercial businesses to a degree as well.

I hope we can come to an agreement or alternate solution on this issue.

Regards

Real Estate

RJN-

Just be happy you don't live in California, they are handing out 50 year loan notes now. Real estate prices are on the rise, but they always have been. Houston is actually one of the better places to live as you can get a better piece of property here for quite a bit less money. I think that Houston will see a spike in real estate prices as we marginally catch up to reflect the trends in other areas. Thing is though, there will always be affordable housing or people would not be able to sell their homes and move. It has a nice checks and balances permanently built into it. ;)

Please do feel free to contact me on any questions you might have related to real estate.

Take care,

Josh Manuel

why?

I dont understand how does it works?? why do you keep reversing information I load in to wikipedia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Oscarhinojos (talk • contribs) .

clarify third most populous statement in Houston

The sentence as written is unclear. X is the third most populous Y in Z. What are X, Y, and Z in that particular sentence? Thanks. Polaron | Talk 23:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

OK I think I figured it out. I made the sentence read "...populous county in the entire country" to make it clear. I hope that works for you. Polaron | Talk 00:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Houston, healthcare section

Reads:

It is where one of the first, and still the largest, air emergency service was created—a very successful inter-institutional transplant program was developed—and more heart surgeries are performed than anywhere else in the world.

Should we replace the dashes with commas? Does this look right to you? Thanks Postoak 23:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Culture

Why can't we add info about the largest church in north america making it's home in houston to the culture section? It's something that should be added as almost every houston book mentions lakewood church. Not meant to be advertisement just a very important fact. We can mention the fact that houston has one of the largest gay communities, but can't mention the fact that houston is home to one of the largest churches (lakewood) in the WORLD?

Here's what i'm proposing:

Houston is also home to megachurch Lakewood Church. Lakewood averages over 30,000 adult attendees every week. The church currently has three English services and one Spanish service each weekend. Lakewood is located on the Southwest Freeway (U.S. Highway 59), the busiest section of freeway in the United States.

--Daniel2986 07:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I have brought this discussion to Talk:Houston, Texas for other editors decide if the inclusion of Lakewood Church is bias of one religion or not. Including the address, number of members, and type of services is considered advertisement to me. Also, the content does not fit in the "Culture" section of the Houston article. Houston's culture does not center on one religion and one church. —RJN 07:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Yellowcard

Hi, there! I saw that you've contributed to the Yellowcard page. I've been working hard all weekend to get it into an encyclopedia-worthy article, and I think we're almost there!

There's a short list of things that still need some work at the bottom of the talk page. If you could take a look at it, maybe add more things to do, or clean up whatever you see needs work, I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks for your help. Have an awesome day! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathryn (talk • contribs)

Asian American Reversion

Why did you revert my additions to the Asian American article? I added that Indian in reference to South Asian Americans is considered offensive to Pakistanis because it is as important as letting people know East Asians do not want to be called Chinese. It's even more important for the South Asian clarification because Pakistan and India do not get along right now or they have not in the past. Also, there were three 3 pictures of East Asians and one picture of a Southeast Asian. I removed one picture of an East Asian, so there was 2 East Asians, 1 Southeast Asian and 1 South Asian which is more representative in its portrayal. There is a problem in America where people's heuristic of an Asian is an East Asian which is unrepresentative. Balance of people from the three regions is needed so people can understand who's an Asian American. --Dark Tichondrias

changing the Hightower High school page

RJN,

I took the time yesterday to edit the Hightower High school page with updated information on the demographics, athlethic achivements, and other things, and you decided to revert the entire page back to a previous edition by a kid named whisper to me. Are you and whisper to me the same person, and if not, then why did you decide to edit my entire page back to his revision? what gives?

About the Mamie George Branch

If I didn't tell you already - The Mamie George Branch of the Fort Bend Library is in Stafford. It is next to Dulles Middle, but it's in Stafford - Not Sugar Land. WhisperToMe 05:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
