[edit] 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)
