Keithville

[edit]
My home county

First, please note that I'm not the only one besides you that's editing the article; your last edits were immediately followed by User:VerruckteDan. I don't live in Caddo Parish; you can see on my userpage that I'm from western Ohio (see the attached map), and the closest I've been to Caddo Parish is probably Madison County, Mississippi. Overall, I remove things I find inaccurate (for example, the idea of it being a city, which is contradicted by Census data) and unsourced, or otherwise problematic.

Of course the Census came to your door, but just because they did doesn't mean that we can say Keithville has a specific set of demographics. Who's to say where Keithville begins and ends? It's not a census-designated place or a municipality, so we can't say where its boundaries are. Nyttend (talk) 05:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Who determined the boundaries that you mentioned? Nyttend (talk) 05:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how it works. Counties are created by the Louisiana State Legislature. Cities and towns and villages are created by people who live in an area and form a municipality of whatever previously mentioned type. Otherwise, communities are unincorporated; the only unincorporated communities that have formal boundaries are census-designated places, and their boundaries aren't set by the legislature: they're drawn by the United States Census Bureau in order to facilitate the collection of statistics. Nobody sets other unincorporated communities' boundaries. Nyttend (talk) 06:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
