Talk:Flower Mound, Texas

message: The line in the opening paragraph:
"Though surrounded by commercial and residential development, the mound, believed to be a Native American burial ground, is privately owned so as to be protected from further development."
Is there some reference that this is siting? 
I grew up in the area and my grandmother is on the Flower Mound Foundation Board. I know of no commonly held belief that the Mound was a burial ground, nor any archaeological evidence to support this. I will double check my reference and get back. Until then I have edited the statement to remove this and to site that ownership as a Non-Profit.

thread_title: The mound

message: Come on, this is getting a little silly. No city of nearly 70,000 people is made up primarily of shopping centers. Of course, residential and undeveloped land accounts for most of Flower Mound's area. You might as well say that Flower Mound is made up mostly of schools and churches because there are dozens of them in the city. The article is already balanced with criticisms of growth in Flower Mound. Please remember that we're trying to write a reasonably neutral encyclopedia article, not a polemic against shopping centers and grocery stores. Casey Abell 13:55, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm tired of the edit war, and I won't violate WP:3RR. I've left messages here and on User Talk:Spsummerlin about the inaccuracy of saying that a city of nearly 70,000 is primarily shopping centers. But I won't make any more reverts. I'll leave it to other editors to ensure that the article remains accurate and balanced. Casey Abell 04:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Made up primarily of shopping centers"

message: I'm a Flower Mounder myself and I know for a fact that it is mostly in Denton County and some of it is just barely is in Tarrant County. I don't think it could possibly even be close to being in Dallas county...anyone beg to differ? 71.240.164.41 (talk) 14:24, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Dallas County? 

message: "It was part of the United States Army's failed "New Town" development scheme." Every single online reference returned from a search for a US Army New Town development scheme traced back to this unsourced sentence. Unless someone can provide some citation to buttress this line, I'll delete the sentence in a week's time. Irish Melkite (talk) 07:20, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What Development Scheme? 

message: I think it's fine to mention that Flower Mound refuses to call itself a city in the text, but in the info box on the right hand side, I think the appropriate thing to do would be to list Flower Mound as a city under the name. Flower Mound can demand to be called any word it like, be it town, hamlet, or banana, but by commonly accepted English definitions, a place where 65,000 people reside is a city.
Keep "town council" and "town manager" if those labels are the proper ones used by Flower Mound, but under "Flower Mound" and above the picture, it should be labeled a city.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.21.232.176 (talk) 00:38, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
