[edit] Proposing to combine the Wychwood Park and Brakondale Hill neighbourhoods into oneThe city of Toronto website doesn't list Brakondale Hill or Wychwood Park as separate neighbourhoods, instead it lists a neighbourhood called Wychwood: http://www.toronto.ca/demographics/cns_profiles/cns94.htm. I would like to combine Bracondale Hill and Wychwood Park into one neighbourhood called Wychwood. It would go in the North End in the List of neighbourhoods in Toronto article. Any objections? Dansblv 01:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dansblv (talk • contribs) [edit] Okay, me tooAs 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) [edit] Don River ArticleAnyone know what happened to the Don River article? I was editing it recently, and now it appears to have disappeared.
[edit] One More In For Helping On TorontoOkay, 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) [edit] Miscellaneous CommentsVery nice or an elborate put on Two16 15:45 Jan 13, 2003 (UTC) [edit] Rivers of TorontoRecently, 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) [edit] Toronto Island Ferry ServicesThis 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) [edit] Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team cooperationHello. 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! Titoxd(?!? - help us) 18:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC) [edit] Scarborough
[edit] Your thoughts on BinnsHi 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) 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) I don't think much has changed with Binns, and someone has removed the {{advert}} tag.--Stetson 04:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC) [edit] Beach v. Beaches
[edit] Portal:TorontoI've created portal:Toronto. comments? --Dhodges 23:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC) [edit] Toronto Neighbourhood PagesI'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 expanded 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)
[edit] Canadian city naming conventionTo try to get a good consensus, I am posting at all Canadian regional wikiprojects: Wikipedia talk:Canadian wikipedians' notice board#Canadian city naming convention. Thanks! -- Usgnus 21:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC) [edit] Request for expansionIf it's not too much trouble, could one of you take a look at Fairbank Memorial Park? I added a bit of info on a land development scandal with the York council, but none of the major Toronto papers have a free archive going back that far, and since I'm just a dumb American stumbling into this after the fact, someone more familiar with local politics (like y'all) might be able to clarify and improve it. Thanks! -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 23:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC) [edit] XXXXXXX, Ontario v. XXXXXXX, TorontoIs this still a priority? Neither East York nor Scarborough follow this convention, and I'm hesitant to move them (partially because I'm not convinced of the logic behind this policy, possible because every change to the Scarborough article seems to be contentious.) WilyD 12:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC) [edit] Hello EverybodySince I've been doing some work on Toronto articles (mostly Scarborough, Ontario and East York, Ontario I thought I'd join the project. One thing I am interested in is doing photos for articles - so if anybody wants a photo for an article (that can be taken within about 30 km of Greenwood & Danforth - I don't own a car) please feel free to drop by my talk page and make a request. WilyD 20:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC) [edit] Photos neededI was hoping the project would have a "photos needed" section, but all I see is a section called "photos without articles". Not being a member of the project, I am reluctant to create a new section to the project. My request -- over at WP:EiC, we have several school articles for which I wish we had a picture of the school. Here is the list of Toronto (or GTA <gasp!>) schools missing a decent picture:
If anyone happens to live nearby and can provide a picture, I'd appreciate it! --Stephane Charette 17:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject userbox?Is there a userbox created for this wikiproject? If not, I'd be glad to make one (being a member of Wikiproject Userboxes as well). –Dvandersluis 23:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Peer Review for ScarboroughIf anyone is interested Wikipedia:Peer review/Scarborough, Ontario/archive1 [edit] Project directoryHello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 18:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC) [edit] Wikipedia Day AwardsHello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:56, 29 December 2006 (UTC) [edit] A plea for help: United Synagogue Day SchoolAn editor, User:Pan Dan, has tagged United Synagogue Day School, a private Conservative Jewish Day school in Toronto, as not being notable. I am having trouble proving its notability.

This offending statement has been removed, but there's been an OTRS complaint about the negative focus of the article, and it would be useful for some knowledgeable people to take a look.

[edit] Cabbagetown, Toronto vs. Cabbagetown (Toronto)The article on Cabbagetown used to be called Cabbagetown, Toronto, which conformed to this projects naming convention for locations within the city, but in April 2007, someone renamed it to Cabbagetown (Toronto). Should we rename it back? RayGates 00:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC) [edit] Requested photographWould a frequent denizen of First Canadian Place be able to nab a nice "First World" photo to accompany the Mumbai photo in the new Shoeshiner article?

Any help is appreciated from editors on Wikipedia. FellowWikipedian 17:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC) [edit] Toronto templatesSomeone made this edit trying to add a template (whose validity I would argue anyway). I had been commenting out a related template that doesn't work ("million plus" vs. "million more") and tried to take out of Toronto, then reverted. Now I see that it is actually a band that says "Templates" in the article. Someone should fix this or take it out - I don't know that much about templates. Franamax 04:24, 3 December 2007 (UTC) [edit] Cliffcrest and CliffsideIs there really any difference at all between Cliffside and Cliffcrest? In other words, should the articles be merged? The neighbourhood boundaries set out in each article are slightly different -- not sure if that is because they are different neighbourhoods, or is simply two different views of the boundaries of the same neighbourhood. Would those of you with more familiarity with Scarborough please weigh in? Skeezix1000 19:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC) [edit] Regarding Burning of the Parliament BuildingsA lot of people say the American militia burned parliament and the burning of the US Congress buildings was retaliation. But it's also been said the fire in the Parliament buildings was an accident. And of course Congress burning was retaliation, but not for Parliament, but the rash of burnings across Upper Canada by American militia. I wonder if this should be explored, I know there are a lot of Nationalistic based myths about the war of 1812. The most notable proponent of this accidental burning theory is Canadian Historian Pierre Berton in his book "Fire Across the Border". Sorry if this isn't in the right place, it's my first Wikipedia discussion. I put this here and not in the 1812 article, because it's mentioned offhand

(The Arch being the preserved portion of the façade of the old Toronto Normal School). Photos of the front (south side) of the Arch would be great. Actually, the Ryerson category at the Commons is a bit sparse, and could use contributions of any photos of the campus. Thanks. Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC) [edit] Assessing articlesI added the class parameter to Template:WikiProject Toronto so we can start assessing articles, but it doesn't seem to be working. Anybody who knows templates well, please take a look. --Padraic 15:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC) [edit] Neighbourhood name disagreementsI'm not part of this WP, but I've been adding maps and infoboxes to a lot of TO neighbourhood pages recently and I've noticed that not all of the names used in the official neighbourhood geography template don't agree with the official ones provided by the city. Out in the 'burbs I haven't run into much problem, but closer to downtown and in other places, like Downsview-Roding-CFB for an off-the-head example, things don't really map. I've been thinking about this, and if anyone's interested in reading, one idea I had was for updating the neighbourhood template to list all the officially-recognized neighbourhoods in addition to unofficial neighbourhoods like, say, Liberty Village - but I think that the list should be standardized based on the city's own standards. Any thoughts?

If one wants, try photographing the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto - It is at Suite 3300 of the Royal Trust Tower of the Toronto-Dominion Centre - The part to photo is the entrance or a sign indicating the consulate. The photo would be for the Toronto-Dominion Centre article. Be careful when photographing diplomatic missions, and ask for the permission of the consulate staff if you need to. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC) [edit] Toronto ParalympicsCanada at the 1976 Summer Paralympics does not exist. As the 1976 Summer Paralympics happened in Toronto that year, it might be a good idea to have such an article. 70.55.85.143 (talk) 11:45, 29 August 2008 (UTC) [edit] Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for TorontoWikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7. We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection before December 2008, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

The WikiProject Ice Hockey is currently looking for editors to help update team articles about the 2008-09 NHL season. If you are interested in the NHL, please consider helping us keep these article current. To sign up, go to this page and add your name beside the team or teams you wish to particpate in. For a guide to expanding the article, see 2007-08 Pittsburgh Penguins season which is currently listed as a Good Article. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at WT:HOCKEY or at my talk page. Hope to here back from you, GrszReview! 16:58, 20 October 2008 (UTC) [edit] Coordinators' working groupHi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators. All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC) [edit] Article alertsThis is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here. If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

[edit] Toronto Port AuthorityThe Toronto Port Authority article is presently protected from edits. Admins only can edit it. This was an article previously in trouble before for edit warring. If anyone is willing to review, please do so and add comments at the talk page. The basic issue is that user K[censored]on, who it must be noted, is an employee of the agency, is blocking my addition of a section about the creation of the agency and the mention of controversies in the lead paragraph. He contends that my writing is slanted. And of course, I don't think so. :-) If anyone could look it over, it would be appreciated. Alaney2k (talk) 13:57, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
