[edit] New Census Designation
The U.S. Census designation for the Houston Metropolitan Area is no longer
Houston—Galveston—Brazoria. The new designation is now Houston—Sugar Land—Baytown as of November 2004. -- UH Collegian
[edit] New Map Request
Can someone please replace the image for the area coverage of this metropolitan area? I do not know how to do it nor do I know where to get the image. As of 2003, the metropolitan area covers 10 counties instead of the map showing only eight counties. Any help is appreciated! UH Collegian 08:12, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Naming conventions
UHC, I've noticed that you have redirected Houston Metropolitan Area to Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown Metropolitan Area. I personally disagree with this change. While it may be a more technically correct naming style, it's not what anybody refers to it as and probably is not what anybody is going to link to it as, which is going to mean a huge headache. It will mean regularly checking Houston Metropolitan Area for disambiguation, and will mean a load of nicknames inside the article text, because Houston Metropolitan Area is much more reader-friendly than H-SL-BMA. I propose H-SL-BMA be made a redirect to HMA. · Katefan0(scribble) 19:09, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sugar Land Regional Airport?
We mention Intercontinental and Hobby, and then go on to mention Sugar Land's airport, which the article says is the 4th largest in the metro area. 1, 2, and ... 4? What's 3? · Katefan0(scribble) 13:53, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Third would be Ellington Field. UH Collegian 16:53, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
- All right, well, the article should mention that. 1, 2, 4 looks a little weird. · Katefan0(scribble) 14:04, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
- I added Ellington. I also removed some excess detail about Sugar Land's airport; it can go in an article about the airport itself or in the Sugar Land article, but it's too much here. No other airport has that level of detail in the article currently, nor should it. · Katefan0(scribble) 14:08, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Most Diverse"
I am unclear what the "most diverse" metropolitan area even means. Is it racial diversity, cultural diversity, or some other kind? Would someone kindly elaborate on this claim, define it, or provide a source? I don't know how long ago this claim was added to the article and I'm eager to hear the explanation.
