For instance, if an article about a neighborhood has [[Category:Dallas, Texas]] at the bottom, you should replace it with [[Category:Dallas, Texas neighborhoods]]. An attempt at creating a very well organized list for List of neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas is currently being worked on at List of neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas/sandbox. If you'd like to go there and work on it or improve the {{Neighborhood list}} (which currently is a hardly modified copy of {{Episode list}}), the help would be greatly appreciated!

[edit] Is the Dallas Morning News editorially conservative?

Should the Dallas Morning News be labeled conservative in the article?

The Dallas Morning News has a long tradition of Republican endorsements in national elections but it has endorsed many Democrats in local elections... particularly incumbents. While the Morning News did endorse Bush in the 2004 election, it has been quite critical of the Bush Administration at times. For instance there was a scathing editorial on cronyism in the Bush administration that led to wholly unqualified Michael Brown becoming FEMA Director and how this affected the administration's Katrina response.

In State politics, the paper was extremely critical of the Tom Delay redistricting plan pushed through the Texas State Legislature. It said that this plan diluted minority voting rights and should never have passed.

The paper tends to be pro-business or free-market but it is also very civic minded and has endorsed many very expensive government projects such as the Trinity River Project and the proposed Trinity River bridges.

The Dallas Morning News tends to be liberal or at least Libertarian on social issues... particularly since Keven Ann Willey arrived.

A statement that the Dallas Morning News political position is conservative is not accurate and should be removed. Wintd 01:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree; certainly, in the 1980s when we had two to choose from, the News was considerd by far the more 'conservative' of them. I don't see that it's changed significantly since. I think a survey of Dallasites would show they consider the paper to be Republican-leaning, and a generally strong supporter of the Bush administration. That said, said survey has not been done, and the statement (while accurate in my view) is unsourced. I don't really care on the matter; I'm just waiting to see if any Belo employee comes along to soften my edits in re: the Times-Herald any....Eaglizard 11:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
