[edit] Gentrification POV

This doesn't need answer, as I agree with your edit. I just wanted to say, damn, were you fast in spotting this "suffering" and changing it to "undergoing"! Merci. --[[User:Valmi|Valmi ]] 04:20, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] During as well as after the changes of the 60s

Yes, yes, many Quebec cultural institutions appeared after the biggest "boom" of the quiet revolution during the 60s but they also appeared during that "boom" . In fact several commentatros argue that these institutions _are_ the quiet revolution by themselves. This is why it is incorrect to use an idiomatic expression which says or implies that they were born only after the quiet revolution, or to place such an expression prominently without an additional qualifier which would express the fact that they are part and parcel of the quiet revolution instead of being only a later effect. --AlainV 02:34, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism issue on Wikipedia

Hello, I am the individual that modified significant portions of the Ontario Highways section today. I found to my horror that significant numbers of facts and figures on the Wikipedia pages were simply copied from my website www.thekingshighway.ca. I also found a number of my own images which were being used on this website without my knowledge or permission. These images included a highway sign photo for Hwy 401, Hwy 409, Hwy 427 and for the QEW. I'm sorry if what I did was considered "vandalism" in the Wikipedia circuit, but I was unsure of how else to stop my work from simply being copied and distributed without my permission. I'm not looking to make money off of my research, but I must insist that the source of this information is properly documented if it is to be used on this website. Thank-you! Cameron Bevers 22:02, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi Darkcore: Thank-you for taking the time to repond to my posting, and listening to my concerns regarding the usage of my Ontario Highways material. I will refrain from posting any commentary directly online in the future, and place any pertinent comments into the discussion page as you have suggested. I shall also respect Wikipedia's policy regarding vandalism, and I will only remove material that was clearly obtained without permission from my highways website. If it is indeed information that can be found in the public domain, I assure you that it will not be touched. I'm sure that you can appreciate that my comments made earlier today were made in a moment of frustration, when I found that my research had been posted online without my permission or knowledge. Your help is sincerely appreciated! Cheers! 69.156.155.101 02:51, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello Darcore: Other people other then Cameron Bevers have been adding the 'plagerizing' notices back on to pages. This was done because I felt that people are trying to hide who actually stole the copyrighted information from Mr. Bevers site. Since you and Mr. Bevers seem to be in agreement about posting plagerized information, I will no longer be reverting Camerons earlier message about plagerizing. I will (as i hope you also will be) very vigelant about stolen Ontario Highway information. Thanks --24.103.215.190 19:44, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC).

[edit] Untagged images

There are a number of images that you have uploaded that have not yet been properly tagged. If you have a few minutes would it be possible to add tags to them? The untagged images are listed below for your convenience. - SimonP 03:56, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

These were marked as fair use, but without source information and justification they are ineligible.

[edit] Plagiarism issue on Wikipedia

Hi Darkcore: There seems to have been a misunderstanding in regards to what changes I have been responsible for on the Wikipedia website. Since we spoke on Sunday, I have not made any further changes to the website. However, it appears that there is another user out there who reinstated my original notice on the MacDonald-Cartier page. I do not know who this individual is, but I can assure you that it was not me. I was perfectly satisfied with the agreement which you and I came to on Sunday, and it would certainly not be in my best interest to jeopardize our agreement by aggravating the only person who is sympathetic to my case. I appreciate that my handling of things on Sunday morning was not appropriate under Wikipedia's terms of use, and as I promised, I will not make any further changes to the Wikipedia site unless information is posted that was clearly taken from my website. Thanks again for your assistance. Cameron Bevers 04:19, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Jane and Finch

Hi! Great work on Jane and Finch, a subject dear to my heart. (And you're right, my intra-Toronto context edit was choppy, for which I'm sorry.) You're also right that the Pioneer Village and (immediately east of that) York U. are northeast of the Jane and Finch intersection (although debatably "immediately"). But if we define the neighbourhood to Shoreham or Steeles (and it really must to be to Steeles, trust me) they are immediately east of the neighbourhood. Yahoo Map - the Pioneer Village is on the west side of Murray Ross and from Shoreham to Steeles. This is why I said "immediately east of the neighbourhood". Samaritan 08:05, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC) (Or I meant. My sense of direction is now completely disoriented.) Samaritan 08:16, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Btw, I hope you didn't think I was link-spamming Toronto with the link to betterlivingcentre.ca. In my anon days, I added independent but professionally staffed, online-only community-newspaper-equivalents to the external links in each of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, North Bay, Ontario and Timmins, Ontario. I wanted to give a similar slice of Toronto, but size, scope of coverage and general sensibility would favour a serious attempt at a city blog. BLC (which is affiliated with Tucows somehow) and torontoist.com (from the Gothamist folks), while both brand new, would seem to be the best-of-breed in that context, and torontoist reads a bit too much like a livejournal. Samaritan 12:05, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Modification to Upper Canada College page

Darkcore,

I have e-mailed the gentleman Don Sugden, Supervisor, Web Services, Creative Services, City of Toronto, whoever he is, to ask permission to use the image on Wikipedia. I apologize for overlooking the copyright symbol at the bottom, but it seems ridiculous for them to copyright that because the building hasn't been publicly owned in 100 years. I could go take a very similar image with my camera right now. I will post in the image summary if I get permission, if not I will take one myself, and I trust you will leave it alone in either case. Thank you.

-Travis

[edit] Image:GOtrain.jpg

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:GOtrain.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 18:37, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] University of Toronto

I agree that the student's section should not be removed all together, but it could be be rewritten. Right now it reads like someone's personal ranting. The last paragraph in the section is pure POV. The section does contain some important info, like the double cohort issue. Maybe the whole section can be honed into one sentence and placed at the end of the Academics section. It is often best to stick to the facts, and let them speak for themselves, without offering an interpretation or value judgement either way. Paradiso 03:41, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Forest Hill

What on earth is your interest in Forest Hill, London?  ;o) It's just that I happen to be near there. But given your other edits, I'm guessing you aren't. --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 11:04, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Highway 409

Highway 409 west of the 427 was outright downloaded to the GTAA, it is no longer considered a provincial highway past the 427. The total reconstruction of the highway (including exits) during T1 New was done by the GTAA, not the MTO. The article should reflect that it is NOT a provincial highway once west of the 427. -- Snickerdo

That's fine, but when it comes down to it, though exits really should not be included in the article at all, unless some specific point is made that these are not really 409 exits. It's like saying that the exit to Park Lawn Road from Former QEW is still a QEW exit, even though it hasn't been QEW since 1997. -- Snickerdo

I understand where you're coming from. My only issue is that it's not really Highway 409, it's an airport access road. *shrug* Thanks for the tip about signing messages, by the way. Snickerdo 23:02, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Moving articles...

I apologize for trying to hack up the 401 article when trying to move it. It's been months since I've been able to get back and check out the articles. I wrote many of these original articles, and since then Wikipedia has added a lot of features that I'm not familiar with. In no way did I mean to break something and/or offend you, I just wasn't familiar with the new tools available to me. Thanks for the info. -- Snickerdo 23:23, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sakia Gunn

If I may say so, you've written an excellent article there. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have anything on her, and put it on Recent Changes in the hope that somebody would get around to it, but it only ended up with that lousy anon stub. I'd planned to write something eventually, but it's nice to come back to it and see that someone else has already done it. Ambi 11:51, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] NJIT Princeton review

Hey, hey :) You mention in the comments, that the princeton review section i added was irrelevant. may i ask why? Project2501a 08:57, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. Ram-Man (comment) (talk)[[]] 14:44, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] UofT suburban (University of Toronto)

Hi, certainly, St. George is an urban campus, but wouldn't it be a bit of an affront to the 8-9000 students at UTSC and the roughly same numbers (I think) at UTM to exclude them from the tally? I have never been at UTM, but I certainly believe UTSC is suburban. I also find your comment that medical and law school are considered as undergrad courses peculiar, since they require undergraduate education worth 20FCEs for entry - but I don't have time to look this up now, maybe you're right. Hou Shuang 23:14, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Toronto Subway

I have to disagree with your assessment that most of the articles will be one sentence stubs. I have not found that, in fact I have found plenty that many of the articles have been quite long and detailed. It is not rude or disrespectful to others to simply re-organise the way information is presented into a more efficient manner. I have not deleted or removed anyone's work, simply re-organised it. The other page was inefficient at displaying information, and I updated it to correspond to the way that other subway line articles are done on Wikipedia (reference MTR, KCRC, 6 line).

Thanks, Páll 02:20, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] UCC

Darkcore, do you have something against the school for any particular reason? I supported re-formatting the page, not taking all of the meat out of the article as you have. It is now left bland and is no longer an interesting read (in-fact, it's a 15-second scan, which is even more like a brochure than it previously was!) I have shown the article as it was before to numerous people who have told me they will only read part of it, and they have come back having read all of it. A dumb blonde friend of mine said "look at the graduates, this is like CEO school or sumthin, wats a CEO????" I mean, it was an interesting article before. I know I can't stop your self-righteous editing, but I ask you to work with me here. Travisritch 06:42, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
