Can someone look at that first sentence and correct it as appropriate? -- Zoe

I think I wrote what the original writer was going for. -- Notheruser 03:41 16 May 2003 (UTC)

Placename etymology

How come it looks somewhat English, and yet the "k" in "coke" is completely silent, like French pronunciation? Is it First Nations? If so, which Nation, and what does it mean?

Great, seems an Anon has answered. --Menchi 01:26, Aug 1, 2003 (UTC)

k is not silent in French. I have heard that it was originally spelt Etobico, and that perhaps it was altered by analogy with Nanticoke. However, as the k in Nanticoke is not silent, that seems questionable. I suppose this could be looked up. Trontonian

No, it isn't silent at all (musique)! :-} --Menchi 02:21, Aug 1, 2003 (UTC)

I wonder if the note about the street line painting is all that relevant? I mean it's amusing, but is it of any lasting importance? Krupo 04:11, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)

Someone added a link to a community and commercial site. But, actually, it was a purely commercial list of local businesses, with no community content whatsoever. So I removed it from this page, and the two other pages where it was put. -- Geo Swan 14:41, 2005 May 8 (UTC)

Notable residents of Etobicoke

"Ian Brown, former Canadian-American citizen and and presently a US Marine, to wed Bree Clegg Saturday, December 17th, 2005 in Manchester, New Hampshire at Saint Anselm College's Abbey Church."

I've never heard of Ian Brown, and nothing about this description seems worthwhile.

Removed Nandeep Bamrah, Added Kiefer Sutherland

Nandeep Bamrah is not the youngest MBA recipient. Citation is needed for this claim. Kiefer Sutherland was born and raised in Toronto, and attended Martingrove Collegiate Institute. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by G5cubed (talk • contribs) .

Demographics

I fixed some spelling and formatting in the demographics section. The numbers only add up to 97.6%, so maybe that should be verified again. --Vgedris 13:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
