 * No, it was not a test. I spent about 3 hours updating population estimates, removing outdated population numbers, making the paragraph about rapid population growth more concise by removing references from almost 20 years ago, adding in sections for culture, arts, and sports to the information about the city that was consistent with information from other city's pages, and updating school district ratings and high school links in the education section. For future reference, what do I need to do to ensure that edits and updates aren't misperceived as a test so that they're not removed?

 * Have a look at some of the links above. Try not to source all you edits to the city website, which is considered a primary source. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:18, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

 * So should other high schools in that area, that provide similar information that is not in-depth and notable, be removed as well?
 * Specific examples are: Independence High School (Frisco, Texas) and Melissa High School.
