The trivia crime item from December 2006 was removed. The fact that a crime occurred does not make it notable trivia. The other crime item that is listed is due to the movie was based on the true life story. Beyond that, it is inappropriate to post facts about a case that has not gone to trial yet. Also, I fail to see the relevance that he had MySpace accounts.
This is the second time that this entry has been removed by two separate people, please do not add it again. -- 24.206.152.250 05:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
2. The crime made state headlines. Not notable enough to warrant its own article, perhaps, but definately notable enough to have a mention in this article, since the incident shook the community. WhisperToMe 06:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
The fact that you know the policies does not necessarily guarantee good judgment in applying them.
Any type of crime has an impact on the community. A bike gets stolen, a house gets broken into, they all shake the community. If you are arguing that this item warrants a listing, then you need to go back and list every felony in Kingwood's 30 year history. Are you going to list the suicide last week? The forcible entry last summer? The body found on Green Oak a year ago? The attack in the Randall's parking lot? Believe me they all had impact. This is not even the first time that two people have been found murdered in their homes. This is just the first time a sensational crime event has occurred since you stumbled on the online Kingwood community.
And I will say again, regardless of whether or not the item should be listed, which I do not believe it should be, the fact that he had MySpace accounts is completely irrelevant. He may wear Nikes, own an iPod and drive a Jeep. It doesn't mean it should be listed here. -- Cma01 01:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Ditto on the above comments. The mention of such a crime may belong on a wiki for notable crimes in the Kingwood area, but not on the front page. Deatonjr 02:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
The "Subdivisions" section was edited for clarity, changing the format of the village listings and combining some redundant information. Also, the section on status was removed as that is a subjective opinion. _________________________
The title on the Fourth of July parade was changed to "Homecoming," which I corrected. If you would like to add the KHS homecoming parade, please do so. However, the 4th of July parade should stay the same. I don't particularly see the high school events as "community" events as the only time the high school seems interested in community participation is when selling things for fundraisers or donating to Project Graduation. -- Cma01 03:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the August 7th edit removing Kings River, Kingwood Glen, and the zip 77346 as part of Kingwood, whether or not a subdivision is considered part of Kingwood is not determined by what side of the lake it is on but whether it is a part of the Kingwood Service Association. These two villages are and part of 77346 is Kingwood. -- Cma01 02:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the change to subdivisions, Forest Cove cannot be said to have "developed" around Kingwood. It was an existing development prior to Kingwood's existence. -- Cma01 13:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I think that the Kingwood Yard Sales entry, would be more appropriate under the Trivia section. There are other Kingwood specific sites that offer similar services. While "most popular Kingwood site" is debateable depending on what measurement is used, (unique visitors, visits, page views, hits), what makes KYS unique beyond the popularity of the site is the fact that it has developed sister sites in other locations.
Below is my suggested revision for the entry under "Trivia":
Kingwood is also home to Kingwood Yard Sales, a service for residents providing an online alternative to the live yard sales prohibited by the Kingwood Homeowner's Association. The popular local site has spawned sister sites across Texas and the US using the same format.
Obvious vandalism fixed -- 128.62.119.132 07:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Cma01 regarding the placement of the KYS revision under the "Trivia" heading. I'll make the change accordingly. --Stinorama
In the section titled "Politics / Representation", this text is currently present in the article:
... Joe Crabb, who won 70% of the vote in the last election
Unfortunately, wording like "in the last election" changes meaning over time. In an article which may not get frequent review, especially around the time of elections, this article may be viewed. This could have a profound impact on credibility. Ironiridis 04:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
I reverted the deletions to the Trivia section for several reasons. First, Administaff is a large company deserving of their own article. There is already an article devoted to an annual golf tournament hosted by them, why not more? Next, the teenage girl robberies that took place in the area are an interesting news story, and they had sources from local and national news outlets. Such a deletion should at least be accompanied with reasons. The editor provided none. Deatonjr 04:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
See WP:EL, I've deleted all but the most official ones. EvanCarroll 07:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Kingwood.com is not a reliable source of information for a census. Please cite a government source, census authority or attribute to something that doesn't have a conflict of interest, as a commercial site for the community would. Furthermore, even if you find a reliable source, I would prefer you link to it rather than bloat the article with it. Wikipedia is not a census archive, and should not reproduce free government statistics on the whole. EvanCarroll 08:08, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Hope not to offend anyone who submitted the content that I've deleted. I've decided to push for featured article; and, I thought some pretty drastic changes were in order. I figure it will take a few more weeks to achieve it. EvanCarroll 10:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with RJNs edits under the basis: (a) that they are not cited; (b) they replaced previously cited ones; (c) and, they make confusing the difference between the territorial Kingwood, and the subdivision/psuedo-town Kingwood. The numbers he replaces them with, are not just not cited but they aren't telling you what kingwood they refer to. At the very least my documentation shows the term kingwood in the wild exists as two terms. EvanCarroll 04:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Kingwood, Texas is a master-planned community. What "is" Kingwood and what is "not" is whether or not the villages pay into the Kingwood Service Association. Part of Kingwood is in Harris County, part is in Montgomery. Part of it is in the City of Houston, part is in unincorporated Harris County.
That is Kingwood. And yes it makes a difference. You can't get a trails map, a K sticker, and use some of the amenities if you don't actually live in KSA dues paying Kingwood. It is confusing, which is the whole point of the clarification.
KingwoodOnline.com/Friendswood used to be the "official" site for Kingwood before it was turned over to KSA. Now it is simply the marketing arm for Friendswood Development and its local developments, primarily Oakhurst.
If there is an "official" site, it would be the Kingwood Service Association, www.kingwoodserviceassociation.org.
And I would really like someone to take me to this City of Houston park that keeps getting posted and moved from section to section. Please show me where it is. I don't care where you found it on some COH site, there is nothing there. -- Cma01 06:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

There were redundant sentences stating that Michael Sullivan was the City Council Member for the area. The second, stand alone sentence to that effect was removed; the citation was added to the end of the first sentence about Houston City Council representation.
