I'm moving the following list here because its presence in the main article clutters the page. I intend to eventually most of this information into the main text. -JCarriker 07:38, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPV??? How does culture define East Texas
The cultural definition of East Texas in this article is shaky at best. Notably, the Handbook of Texas Online defines East Texas strictly by ecological and geographical terms. While many of the statements on population makeup (for example, number of minorities or being part of the 'Bible Belt') may be true, none of it is cited or referenced. Also, the article questions whether or not Houston is 'really' part of East Texas simply because it is more ethnically diverse. I vote for a complete reversion or edit of this page to a version that defines 'East Texas' in geographical and ecological terms only (with references), until the rest of the definition can be justified.Deatonjr 19:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. The culture section is not really encyclopedia style. I understand the message in it, but it isn't written very well. --黒雲 user:Qaddosh 04:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
