My explanation of revisions

I did not revert your changes if you were compare above. It was a copyedit and also stating the facts correctly. Conroe is not an outskirt of the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area (an official designation defined by the U.S. Census as of November 2003 covering 10 counties). Yes, there is a defined boundary for the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area and it covers 10 counties. You also linked the metropolitan area to a redirect page that I correctly linked when I made my copyedit. Conroe is within the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area as defined officially by the U.S. Census and the OMB and is used by the government agencies. Conroe is not an outskirt of this boundary. If you need further information regarding the officially defined boundary and the name designated for this metropolitan area, please go read this article and United States metropolitan area. I suggest you read and fully understand the metropolitan area name and boundary before changing it again or linking it to a redirect page—Houston Metropolitan Area is a redirect page. Seems to me you reverted my changes without reading/researching on the officially defined metropolitan area and boundary. I do not live in Conroe, but I do live in this metropolitan area—I know the area very well. RJN 12:46, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Heritage

I wanted to add in information on heritage topics within Conroe. I feel it can be fun and educational to the readers. It would be a great bonus to mention the art and family within the community KamrynMitchum (talk) 22:05, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @KamrynMitchum:, and welcome to Wikipedia! I undid your edit because it wasn't written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia articles should be written with a tone that does not sound promotional. There are several other important policies you should read before contributing. You can find them summarized here: HELP:POLICY. The Conroe article already contains information about its art and culture (in the "Culture" section). While the section is already somewhat lengthy, you are welcome to edit or expand on it with any information that can be found in reliable sources. Thanks, Stedil (talk) 23:10, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
