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. Mosquito ringtone Valmi/ValmiSabrina Martins User_talk:Valmi/ ✒ 04:20, 31 Oct 2004

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.

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!

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! Free ringtones 69.156.155.101/69.156.155.101 02:51, 8 Nov 2004

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 Majo Mills 24.103.215.190/24.103.215.190 19:44, 8 Nov 2004 .

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. below bush Cameron Bevers/Cameron Bevers 04:19, 10 Nov 2004

from suspected 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 Black Creek Pioneer Village/Pioneer Village and (immediately east of that) York University/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. http://ca.maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=U0gGiOp_0TqKIOV5SVCxRZ1AC5HsXk5jEnM-&csz=toronto+on&country=ca&new=1&name=&qty= - 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/Samaritan 08:05, 18 Nov 2004 (Or I meant. My sense of direction is now completely disoriented.)

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.

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.

Hi! Thanks for uploading :Image:GOtrain.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an Image copyright tags/image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use '''". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''User talk:Ram-Man/talk page'''. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.

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.

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 (New York Subway)/6 line).

Thanks, PZFUN/Páll 02:20, 21 Dec 2004

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/Travisritch 06:42, 24 Dec 2004
