I think that this page is a little bit too "Self-promotional" of the Metroplex.
I do not think this page is following the NPOV

[edit] Milwaukee in Chicagoland?
I could be mistaken, but I don't think the Milwaukee area is generally considered part of Chicagoland (nor does the author of the linked article). Funnyhat 22:58, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Just Dallas
As far as I know, the term "Metroplex" is only used for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Having studied cities formally in college and informally my whole life, I can say I've never come accross this term being used in any other context. I think this page should just redirect to Dallas/Fort_Worth_Metroplex. EmergentProperty 16:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I concur, I live near Toronto, and I have never heard the Golden Horseshoe or the Greater Toronto Area referred to as a "metroplex", only Dallas-Fort Worth. --128.100.93.153 01:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citations needed for this definition.
As far as I knew, Metroplex only mean Dallas Fort Worth. The ex in slapped on the end of Metropolis as in the ex in Texas.

As far as what's common, a google for "metroplex" returns 2.4 million hits [3], while one for "metroplex -dallas -worth -arlington -garland" get 677,000 hits [4]. So about 72% of all uses of the word "metroplex" on the internet are referring to DFW. — Laura Scudder ☎ 03:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NORCAL METROPLEX
This is in response to the NORCAL Metroplex...the description seems a bit off...If you really look at it, there are TWO metroplexes in NORCAL...ONE is the BAY AREA including all the towns/cities people generally think of as THE BAY, but really all the way out to Vallejo at minimum, up to maybe Novato and down to San Jose...and the SECOND is the Sacramento (Valley) Metroplex that goes from Vacaville through Sac to the Sierra foothills, up to Yuba City and down to Elk Grove...anything below that becomes Central Valley...though the two major metroplexes do touch in several places...(Use Google Earth or equivalent and see what I mean) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.172.169.14 (talk) 12:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "DFW>>North Texas" fact check
The fact check for Recent conventions are moving toward the use of "North Texas" to describe the DFW area has been there a month without a citation issued. I move that the statement be removed on or after May 21st if no citation has been given by that time. Collegebookworm (talk) 05:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
