Ed Clements[edit]

Today an IP added Ed Clements to the notable people, as an actor and radio personality. Another IP almost immediately reverted the addition. Usually we throw out "notable people" additions that don't have an article, but meanwhile I looked him up online and it's possible he's notable, so I added a reference and edit conflicted. Here's the line after that addition:

  • Ed Clements, actor, radio personality[1]

For some reason, Ed Clements was created as a redirect to Fred Clement. So I leave this here for consideration. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:40, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

“Northern Hill Country”[edit]

What was meant by this? I find no source claiming the existence of a “Northern Hill Country” in Texas. Brownwood is certainly not in the real Hill Country, either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ribose carb (talk • contribs) 06:00, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was met with ridicule when it was announced in 2011 as well, but apparently Brownwood Chamber worked with other State agencies to get this changed. Perhaps just Northern county of the Texas Hill Country? https://www.brownwoodnews.com/2011/01/21/brown-county-now-included-in-texas-hill-country-region/ Wolfebyte (talk) 12:50, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Brownwood is in an area which kind of awkwardly falls between the major Texas regional designations - while it's actually pretty close to the center of the state its well northwest of what is called Central Texas, on the ambiguous western border of what people generally consider "North Texas" (centered on Dallas-Fort Worth), too far east for West Texas.
It is not in what is generally considered the Texas Hill Country- not even particularly close to it (see our Texas Hill Country article). If it's in some sense officially defined as that, then perhaps it's worth mentioning -- but it's also very misleading.
Other possible terms are Big Country (used for the area generally around Abilene, Texas) or West Central Texas - Brown County is part of the West Central Texas Council of Governments. Vultur~enwiki (talk) 16:35, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
