[edit] Scarborough, Ontario

For the references that you are adding to Scarborough, Ontario, where are you finding them from? I'm interested because then I can help out and add more useful references to where they are needed. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 03:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if you are aware or not, but the article is currently undergoing a Good Article Nomination. The review is at Talk:Scarborough,_Ontario#Good_article_nomination_on_hold. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could look at 3. Broad in coverage?: (I've covered everything else), and address the issues that the reviewer has brought up. Here are what they are basically, in point form:
If you can't do them, then I'll get to them tomorrow when I wake up, anyways. Cheers. Gary King (talk) 04:12, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Since you are one of the major contributors to the article, if you have time, could you take a look at Talk:Scarborough, Ontario#Issues remain and address those concerns? I will do what I can, but my time is split among several other articles that are not tended to as well as this article. Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 05:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Starting tomorrow, Ill have more time to look at these. I plan to tackle history and geography as these are my forte. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I took the liberty of formatting the references, but I wasn't sure how to format reference #48 (Fenco MacLaren Inc. et al. Integrated Shoreline Management Plan, Tommy Thompson Park To Frenchman’s Bay. Toronto. December 1996.) Is it a court case (those would use {{cite court}}? Other templates can be found at WP:CIT.

Since you are active in editing the article, have you given any thought to bringing it to Featured Article status soon? I'd be glad to help out; I will take an active role again in improving the article. I'll give it a nice copyedit probably later today. Gary King (talk) 04:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Generally speaking, a Good Article requires only one reviewer to pass it; a Featured Article requires consensus among several reviewers to pass it. It is more difficult to pass. Gary King (talk) 14:51, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

E. (your damned name is too long and complicated to spell), fantastic editing job, you have taken this from amateur hour to very professional. Sincere appreciation and congratulations on a job very well done. Your editorial skills shine through.

If you google 'heritage scarborough + toronto' you will glean valuable historical information. I will attempt to add in the future. There is a gentleman by the name of Rich Schofield who is a living historian of the city.
