Why was Amarillo deleted as a city in west Texas? Perhaps Amarillo considers itself in the panhandle yet not in west Texas, although Lubbock proclaims itself to be in west Texas and has far more in common geographically with Amarillo than it does with Midland or Abilene. Please explain/discuss. -- Yellowcard47
Amarillo is part of the Panhandle, not West Texas. Whether Lubbuck belongs to West Texas or Pan Handle is irrelevant to this discussion. The proximity of Lubbock to Amarillo is also irrelevant for this discussion (the line between "west texas" and "panhandle" has to start somewhere, after all.) If Amarillo *isn't* part of the panhandle, then there is no panhandle at all. Dallas is farther south than Amarillo, but it is considered North Texas, why not put Amarillo in North Texas, too? Oh, because HISTORICALLY the divisions of Texas dictate that it doesn't work that way, just like how Amarillo has always been considered part of the panhandle, and NOT West Texas. Why we are even having this discussion is beyond me. I find it hard to believe that Johnnycohiba is making these edits in good faith, even after trying very hard to assume he is. These are the only edits he has made, and it is beginning to be disruptive to do this without at LEAST some citation that will demonstrate why he is right, and the rest of the free world is wrong.

New readers, please read discussion of Amarillo above. Some questions to ponder:
I started a new header because this changes the topic. Is there a uniform standard for the regions of Texas? If so, what are they? If not, what should they be? In light of this discussion, does the Panhandle region belong as separate from West Texas? Yellowcard47 ( talk) 21:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
This article needs a map similar to those in the articles North Texas, East Texas and Central Texas (namely, one with the relevant counties shaded in red). Image:TexasCountyMap.png can be used as a starting point. - dcljr ( talk) 23:58, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of West Texas's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:24, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
