Talk:Loving County, Texas

message: I removed the lines:
"  None of the population and no families are below the poverty line.
Loving County is the only county in the United States with no persons below the poverty line in 2000."
This is false, according their own website (Loving County, Texas):

Thank you.

thread_title: Census statistics and poverty

message: For some reason, link #1 in my recent edit works just fine (as in my Mentone edit), but other links did not until I put them into this somewhat unattractive formatting. If anyone can fix these so that they look "normal" and still work properly, it would be appreciated! Thanks! Ecjmartin 17:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: It's curious that with 67 residents in 2000 and an estimated 55 in 2007, 80 votes were cast in the 2004 presidential election. [] Did LBJ rise from the grave? Dynzmoar (talk) 13:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Population and votes

message: I noticed there was an outstanding request for assessment on this so I took a quick look. Though there is a reasonable reference list the inline citations are pretty seriously lacking. Unfortunately can't justify more than a C class without having more complete referencing. --Mcorazao (talk) 22:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: FYI: Assessment

message: Is it proper in the State of Texas to refer to a county's "incorporation"?  In most US states, counties are not municipal corporations but rather subdivisions of the state, & hence are not truly "incorportated", but that alone doesn't mean that the priciple is universal?  Does anyone here really know?  If so, please tell me & if possible give a reference.  2600:1004:B110:78AD:ACAE:C2D7:9A2F:4FC2 (talk) 23:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: To add to article

message: About these edits
That source still does not address whether the Loving county schools post-1970 (until their consolidation in 1978) ever did receive federal funding. It is important that the "As of 1970" qualifier is kept because that is all the source supports. If it is true the federal government did not fund the schools as of 1978, a new source is needed for that claim.
It's also important the section opens with the fact that the county is in the Wink-Loving Independent School District because we need a focus on the present. We need to cite the census map as proof that the Wink-Loving system indeed covers all of the county (as there are cases where a "County ISD" does not cover all of the county). Additionally the section needs to emphasize that in 1970 the county was still trying to racially segregate schools. I am not certain of why that claim was removed.

replies: text: * Done. I don't know why you are mentioning racial segregation when there was no such mention of that before I started editing the section. Jon698 (talk) 19:45, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: * Oh I didn't see that you included that in your edit. When I get back to my computer in less than 10 minutes I will check the sources and then add it back in. Jon698 (talk) 19:46, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you! See the phrase "Last year, the government sternly ordered the Mentone school district to integrate its schools or lose all U. S. assistance." This article Column 1. The article states there were no African-Americans anyway: "There isn't a Negro within 150 miles." (Columns 1-2). In Column 2 a board member stated that the situation de facto "were as integrated as you could get" and that they weren't interested in US govt funding (Column 2).
