[edit] 2006 census

York's population isn't independently reported by the Canadian Census anymore...2006 census figure is calculated by summing all of York's component census tracts. Marathone 09:25, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible copyright violation

I notice that the article has a copyright violation. Can anyone alert the person who first authored the history section of the article please? Johnny Au 20:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I read the source page and it looks as if the information is from Wikipedia, rather than from Toronto Realtor, since the page includes the disambiguation section, which only works with Wikipedia. Johnny Au 20:30, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Toronto Realtor's neighbourhood facts may be a mirror of Wikipedia. Please verify this for me. Johnny Au 22:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

if the issue is so serious as to put up a huge black and white notice, as well as so serious as to suggest no edits to the page on that notice, and to have the original poster notified, then why drop it if it turns out they are copying from us. Is not Wikipedia and its GNU thingy a copyright onto itself? Is it not therefore them who is violating our copyright, and hence them who should be worried? Nickjbor 14:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed

hope I did not break any rules, but after seeing this page. http://www.torontorealtor.net/The_Annex/page_1401295.html I removed a violation notice to this page http://www.torontorealtor.net/York/page_1401437.html

it appears to be a mirror. Nickjbor 14:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


As at the top of this article it says "This article is about the former City of York in Toronto." current census and transport information is irrelevant and belongs in Regional Municipality of York, Ontario or the general article about Toronto.--Chost1010 (talk) 22:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Residents section

The other four municipalities that make up the old Metropolitan Toronto have articles that contains notable residents (see East York, Ontario, Etobicoke, Ontario, North York, Ontario, Scarborough, Ontario, and all of Toronto, though Old Toronto does not have its own section as well). It seems that York does not have any, though it should definitely have some. Johnny Au (talk) 18:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

We can try looking for them in the notable alumni section of high school articles, such as Vaughan Road Academy, Oakwood Collegiate Institute, York Memorial Collegiate Institute, or St. Michael's College School. Johnny Au (talk) 17:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
