Suggestions for Covington, TX article[edit]

1. The opening paragraph is nearly verbatim from the text on the Handbook of Texas website and the paragraph needs a citation. 2. The demographics section is outdated with information from 2000. 2010 census information is available. 3. I would recommend a stronger source for the Gathings College information, such as what is available on http://www.heartoftexastales.com/gathings-college.html - that website also shows a picture of Mr. Gathings and his wife, for whom the town is named. There is a lot more detail on the founding of Covington and Gathings College. 4. I noticed that two of the links are not working, but that has been addressed in a recent but unpublished edit. 5. The data box on the right still shows the population as of the 2000 census. Thank you for letting me practice on your article! DTavoian53 (talk) 00:19, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
