The title on the Fourth of July parade was changed to "Homecoming," which I corrected. If you would like to add the KHS homecoming parade, please do so. However, the 4th of July parade should stay the same. I don't particularly see the high school events as "community" events as the only time the high school seems interested in community participation is when selling things for fundraisers or donating to Project Graduation. --Cma01 03:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC) _________________________

Regarding the August 7th edit removing Kings River, Kingwood Glen, and the zip 77346 as part of Kingwood, whether or not a subdivision is considered part of Kingwood is not determined by what side of the lake it is on but whether it is a part of the Kingwood Service Association. These two villages are and part of 77346 is Kingwood. --Cma01 02:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


Regarding the change to subdivisions, Forest Cove cannot be said to have "developed" around Kingwood. It was an existing development prior to Kingwood's existence. --Cma01 13:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that the Kingwood Yard Sales entry, would be more appropriate under the Trivia section. There are other Kingwood specific sites that offer similar services. While "most popular Kingwood site" is debateable depending on what measurement is used, (unique visitors, visits, page views, hits), what makes KYS unique beyond the popularity of the site is the fact that it has developed sister sites in other locations.

Below is my suggested revision for the entry under "Trivia":

Kingwood is also home to Kingwood Yard Sales, a service for residents providing an online alternative to the live yard sales prohibited by the Kingwood Homeowner's Association. The popular local site has spawned sister sites across Texas and the US using the same format.

I agree with Cma01 regarding the placement of the KYS revision under the "Trivia" heading. I'll make the change accordingly. --Stinorama
