This page needs some trimming/editing. Looking for feedback on the following list. If I don't get feedback, I'll take it apon myself to edit based on what I think is higher priority in this order...
Or, if you agree its a major foul to the article, go ahead and do it.
1.John Cooper School has its own article, yet it cotains an article's worth of info in this one.
2.Also is "The newest Village of Creekside Park is being developed within Harris County, Texas." noteworthy enough to go in the 3rd sentence of the article?
3.The extra info with The Woodlands High (and TWCP), is in the article about the school, is it really needed here? Perhaps it would fit better in Trivia...
4.And the school are bracketed as Montgomery County. Why? No other county currently educates these residents. If anything a more accurate and useful bracketing would be Conroe ISD/Tomball ISD/ Klien ISD/Spring ISD, although I personally don't know of any ISD besides Conroe currently serving the Woodlands, though tomball will soon have a part. If nobody has an objection to deleteing the Montgomery county portions, and substituting CISD/ TISD.

And Town Center seems long compared to info on villiages, but seems to cover the info well...
Also needs to be updated under future plans about the deal worked out between Houston and thier intentions of no Woodlands annexation in the future....

• I just kinda jumped in and I addressed a lot of these issues and given a better structure, but I think I might have stripped it a little bare, especially in the neighborhood section - but before it was a really difficult wall of text. Feel free to add some stuff back. Korranus 23:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The demographics are all wrong.

The demographics being displayed are not official populations. First of all, there was no 2005 census. The data from the 2005 American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau shows The Woodlands to have 65,744 people. More detailed statistics can be found at the Census Bureau's website [1].

• Yeah, they were funky. I made everything conform to the 2000 Census. --Korranus 03:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit]  ?

The woodlands is not a township, however it is written all over this article that it is like one. How do I know it isn't a township? Texas doesn't even have townships. Now, I understand that the article also says it's actually a local government and states that it is compared to a township, but that would be like saying that the golden gate bridge is almost like the mackinac. I'm just wondering if this should be corrected. <b>Tylerrrr (talk) 03:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

According to this... [2] Postoak (talk) 03:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The article calls the Woodlands a local government in the summary and table, yet it is called a CDP several times elsewhere. I seem to remember it being called a Census Designated Place in a previous version of the article. Someone, preferably someone familiar with US Census classifications or actually from the Woodlands should clear this up. I looked at this article while working with another CDP, Bacliff, Texas.
