Okay, me too

As time permits, I'll contribute. I have edited articles on Kensington Market, The Annex, Koreatown, and The Junction. Avt_tor 20:55 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Don River Article

Anyone know what happened to the Don River article? I was editing it recently, and now it appears to have disappeared.

What was the exact title, Maury? - user:zanimum

One More In For Helping On Toronto

Okay, I've added my name to the list. See my user page for details of articles I've started or contributed to, about Toronto and on signifigant Canadian issues.

One question/ provocation: Wikipedia lags badly on specific articles about Toronto parks. I wrote the second one (AFAIK) on Trinity Bellwoods Park. Prior to that only High Park was written, and since then barely a half dozen have been started. More are needed, no?

Finally, please sign & date your comments! And keep writing and editing on Toronto. :) Cheers, Madmagic 04:59, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Rivers of Toronto

Recently, a user User:Fat_pig73 added a category called Rivers of Toronto and changed the cat for all the rivers going through Toronto from Rivers of Ontario to Rivers of Toronto. I think this is an unnecessary subcategorization. For one thing there are only three rivers that go through Toronto, the Humber, the Don and the Rouge. All of them originate outside of Toronto, therefore you can't categorize them as exclusively Toronto rivers. The other watercourses are named creeks - transboundary creeks (Mimico Creek, Etobicoke Creek), tributaries to the three rivers (Taylor-Massey Creek (Don), German Mills Creek (Don)). Only Highland Creek is exclusively a Toronto watershed.

So I think this makes the category a very small subset, thus non-notable. I am putting this here for discussion for Toronto Wikipedians before I nominate it for deletion. Atrian 00:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Toronto Island Ferry Services

This article is in need of some solid cleanup by someone familiar with the material. A photograph would also be a great addition. Radagast 18:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team cooperation

Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Tito xd^{(?!? - help us)} 18:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scarborough

Looking for input over at Talk:Scarborough, Ontario. What do you call someone from Scarborough? Is "Scarberian" a pejorative term? If so, Scarboroughite doesn't sound right. Would appreciate the assistance of all Scarboroughians. Skeezix1000 12:59, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your thoughts on Binns

Hi Toronto Wikipedians, I just noticed Binns in recent changes - it is apparently a Toronto-based company. The article is currently very advert-ish, I have tagged it with {{advert}}, but I'm unsure if they meet the notability guidlines for companies - it's conceivable if, as the article says, they have won international awards. I'm wondering whether you guys think this company is notable enough to have an article, or whether they're just trying to use wikipedia for free advertising (I'm inclined towards the latter, given that it is the sole contribution from User:Binns.) -- AJR | Talk 22:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The guideline states "The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself." There is no online source referenced for material here. I think you've answered your own question. Avt tor 17:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think much has changed with Binns, and someone has removed the {{advert}} tag.--Stetson 04:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beach v. Beaches

Thoughts on this very "important" debate would be much appreciated at The Beaches → The Beach (Toronto), so as to achieve some consensus on a go-forward basis. --Skeezix1000 17:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Toronto Neighbourhood Pages

I've noted on the Toronto discussion page that there is some inconsistancy and perhaps contradiction between some Toronto Neighbourhood pages. Perhaps the editors who are a part of this project could do some work to make them constant. Maybe also something like a unified format for the neighbourhood pages would be nice? I'm not sure how these things normally work, but just a suggestion. I've created a page for Corso Italia and expand Earlscourt to clarify the connection between the two. (Both articles are still stubs.) If anyone else is interested, I'd be happy to work with some others on the Toronto Neighbourhoods on the whole. I don't think more info needs to be added to most of them (at least the ones that exist already), but unity and consistancy would be good.--Stetson 05:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
