The Content of This Page

This article does little but mention some things that are on the main Texas article. Perhaps it could be expanded. I have a suggestion for a frame: to describe some of the traditional characterizations of Texan culutre and compare and contrast it with the actual culture of the state. I believe that would give readers a solid understanding of the stereotypes and the realities from which they are derived, and then the realities that have little to do with stereotypes (e.g., suburban culture in North, Central, and SE Texas.)

I'd do some of this, but unfortunately, most of my information would likely be characterized as "original research." J Riddy 15:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Despite with sentence: "The culture of Texas has been a, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota have experienced a "brain drain" as their university graduates move to Texas to find employment."

What does that have to with the "Culture of Texas," it appears likely that it is vandalism. Ricky.Adams (talk) 18:15, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a schoolgrade textbook

The intro of this page sounds like its practically out of some 7th-grade Texas History textbook. It's language style is rather grandiose and adventurous for an encyclopedia entry. Don't get me wrong, I love my Great State, but this article just feels like a sore thumb to Wikipedia's standard style of diction.

@Mushrooshi:

Agree This article is poorly sourced, contains original research, and reads like someone's promotional essay. I've tagged the article, and I hope this gets fixed despite the fact that I'm a Minnesotan. This is a subject that could potentially be a really great article.--Mr. Guye (talk) 22:09, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mushrooshi:

Agree The lead really does nothing to help the article. It merely shows differences between different parts of the state.--Greeninventor999 (talk) 09:04, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
