Talk:Tulsa metropolitan area

message: Note: these tips and goals are not official in any way, but simply suggestions from editors and can be discussed, changed, added to, or deleted at will. In fact, please add any and all suggestions -- anything!
This article needs to come out of this as either a great B-class article, an A-class, or one that can be considered for GA Class! 
*Take a look at some of the articles under :Category:Metropolitan areas of the United States to find well written examples that can be a guide for this article.
*This should be like an article for a city and an article for a state combined, so not as specific as a city article but not as general as an article for a state.
*Sections needed:
**Cities
***Sub-headings could describe either the first ring and second ring with subheadings for each city in the respective ring, or headings for direction from Tulsa (I.E. cities to the east, cities to the west, etc.) with further subheadings for each city.
**Transportation (or infrastructure) in the Tulsa M.A.
**Education in the Tulsa M.A.
***RSU, NSU-BA, Northeast Technology Center, etc.
**Economy in the Tulsa M.A.
***This should be more of a description of regional economic value rather than each city's economic value.
***Try to capture how the metropolitan area economy is as a whole. For example, manufacturing is important in the entire area and every manufacturing hub in the area is aided by the port of catoosa and the Tulsa airport, and other things. If I think of more examples I'll put them in.
**Geography
***Topography, climate, etc.
**Recreation and tourism(?)
***The suburbs are beginning to match the city of Tulsa in recreational opportunities, with Jenks and Sand Springs developments, etc.
***The area has many lakes and state parks.
===IMPORTANT REMINDERS===
*Think of the Tulsa Metropolitan Area as a whole. This article is about the Tulsa Metropolitan Area, and should not be thought of as an article about the cities or towns that occupy it. Try to consider the Tulsa Metropolitan Area its own entity, much like you would consider the state its own entity when writing about Oklahoma, instead of writing specific things about the counties that make up the state.
*Green Country and the Tulsa Metropolitan Area are not the same. Try to not stray outside of the Statistical Metropolitan Area (the map is on the page). Whereas "Green Country" officially occupies all of northeast oklahoma, the census-designated "Tulsa Metropolitan Area" occupies only 7 counties (8 if the Tulsa-Bartlesville Combined Statistical Area is included).

thread_title: IMPORTANT REMINDERS

message: This page states:
"Broken Arrow is the metropolitan area's second largest city, with 109,714 people in 2007."
The page on Broken Arrow states:
"The population was 74,859 at the 2000 census. The 2008 U.S. Census estimates placed the city's population at 92,931."
Which is right?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rvallenduuk (talk • contribs) 16:59, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

message: A great deal of work has gone into improving the content of this article since it was originally assigned a Start class. It certainly meets the criteria for Class C now, I have made the change accordingly for the Tulsa Task Force. Bruin2 (talk) 22:38, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Article classification

message: The MSA appears to be officially called Tulsa Metropolitan Area since at least 2013 (). Moreover, the 2020 guidance from the OMB only shows two Tulsa-related areas: Tulsa Metropolitan Statistical Area, and Tulsa-Bartlesville-Muskogee Combined Statistical Area (see this OMB bulletin. Naming definitions must have changed so that Broken Arrow and Owasso no longer qualify to be included in the MSA name as component cities. -Furicorn (talk) 15:40, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
