message: 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 .

message: 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. Tylerrrr (talk) 03:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: 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.

message: Does anyone else find it funny that the giant horses outside of PF Chang's are pictured in this article? Most PF Chang's I have been to (all over the country) have these same giant statues out in front.  I don't think the picture is notable because although it might be at the PF Chang's in the Woodlands, most other PF Chang's locations thruout the country also have these same horse statues.  Maybe it should be deleted or moved to the PF Chang's article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.133.14 (talk) 21:24, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see your point.  Maybe if someone could take a wider angle picture of that area, showing the mall or waterway as a whole, that be a more appropriate picture.  Ufwuct (talk) 19:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Also the pic labeled "Town Center" is a picture of the Cheesecake Factory, taken not five feet away from where the other photo was taken. Very odd, indeed.W0lfie (talk) 17:21, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

message: This seems like an incorrect map.  This map is missing parts of Alden Bridge, all of Sterling Ridge, and Creekside Park, which are all villages of The Woodlands.  I would assume that they would be included in the definition of the "The Woodlands CDP".

thread_title: About sourcing

message: The religion section starts off by saying that the area is mostly Christian, and then spends the other 96% of its words talking about Hinduism.  If we take the number of Hindu families listed, multiply it by the average family size, and divide that into the total population listed, Hindus make up 1% of the population in the area.  I just don't see that devoting almost the entire religion section to a religion with almost no representation in the area makes much sense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.216.11.5 (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure your math is perfect, but this does seem out of line with the demographics listed in the article.  It looks like someone with a strong interest in Hinduism added all the information they thought was relevant.  The reference to Hinduism should be greatly reduced or removed.  This would, however, make the entire Religion section one to two sentences.  It should probably be removed completely, unless someone can provide more in-depth information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.183.198 (talk) 18:25, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The proportion should be based on how reliable secondary sources talk about the subject in non-routine matters, not necessarily the actual percentages of religions in The Woodlands. I had an "expand section" tag because the best way to solve it is to add more content sourced to the Houston Chronicle. Since the temple now has its own Wikipedia article the section doesn't need to talk about it too much. However it should still be mentioned because the Houston Chronicle took the time to write a newspaper article describing it - i.e. non-routine coverage in reliable sources.

text:  Re: the removal years ago I understand Wikipedia has to be proportionate in some way: Wikipedia:WEIGHT says that aspects have to be covered based on how they appear in reliable sources (not necessarily in line with The Woodlands's actual demographics). At the same time I am highly dissatisfied with the "just remove" it approach, because Wikipedia is to grow. Removing like that discourages growth. The best way to handle it is to add information from other religions sourced from Houston Chronicle articles, as I am doing now. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:58, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
