Project bannerOn the project page, we are told to use the |toronto= parameter using WP Canada's banner. If this is correct, why does this banner exist? Griffinofwales (talk) Simple English Misplaced Pages - Come and join! 01:19, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Good. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC) UpdateAll uses of the Toronto banner have been replaced. Does anyone object to it being deleted now? —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Tasty 168Hey, a new user recently created Tasty 168, about a chain of bubble tea shops that was founded in Toronto. It was flagged for speedy deletion, but I'm not sure it deserved it. I thought someone here might have a better sense than me about whether or not the chain meets WP:CORP and what the best sources are about it. I'll keep looking on my own as well, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Meelar (talk) 20:09, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
LuminatoIn full disclosure, this is a note from a Luminato staff member, in reference to the below comment posted in 2009, as well as to edits required to the current Luminato Misplaced Pages entry. To the best of my knowledge, the original entry was not created by a Luminato staff member; Luminato, the organization, would prefer if some of the staff directory/advisory committee information was removed. Luminato, would like to see a note about each year's Festival maintained in the entry, as well as an inclusion of the following year's Festival dates. Currently, an entry about the 2011 Festival (June 10-19, 2011) is missing, as are the 2012 Festival dates: June 8-17, 2012. Additionally, the Luminato staff listings that likely should remain in the entry involve Janice Price (Luminato's CEO) and Chris Lorway (Luminato's former Artistic Director). A note should be added to the current entry that Chris Lorway left his position at Luminato as of July 2011 to work with Lord Cultural Resources in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Luminato is currently searching for a new Artisitic Director to join the organization in the Fall of 2011. --70.52.121.214 (talk) 16:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Allison Saretsky, Interactive Marketing Manager, Luminato August 17, 2011
S.S NoronicIs there any one out there that would know the price of the large brass plate with information about this ship. size, weight etc.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.102.56.130 (talk) 02:05, 2 September 2011 (UTC) Toronto area photo requestsHi! I have some photo requests in the Toronto area. Would anyone mind taking some photos for articles? Within Toronto:
Toronto suburbs:
WhisperToMe (talk) 23:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC) Scope and the suburbsI looked at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Toronto#Scope_includes_Markham.3F - It seems odd to include the cities themselves, but not their contents. Usually metro-area projects include the things associated with the suburbs too. For instance it's common for major corporations and groups of people to move outside of the core/main city and into the suburbs, but they are still heavily associated with the core city. Articles about places and things about suburbs generally need the attention from the same pool editors who edit articles about places and things in the city limits. Because Toronto is not immensely large, population wise (2,503,281), like New York City is (8 million) and all of its suburbs are in the same territory, the Toronto project should also focus upon not only the municipalities, but also the things within. To compare, the main USA projects (except for New York City and Washington DC) cover the suburbs and everything inside. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:01, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Transit Task Force?Would anyone be interested in starting a Toronto transit task force? By separating article into smaller task forces with those who are interested in certain Toronto related projects I believe we can improve many more articles in a more efficient manner.

WP Toronto in the SignpostThe WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Toronto for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 01:51, 5 January 2012 (UTC) WikiWomen's History MonthHi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Toronto will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Toronto's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Misplaced Pages (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place!

Toronto Meetup - May 25I am looking to do a Toronto area meetup on May 25. Wikimedia Canada has received some interest from the Royal Ontario Museum to do a special tour of the Museum on June 8. My hope is to meet active Misplaced Pages editors in the GTA. If you're interested please contact me on my talk page. wmca:User:Alan.ca Alan.ca (talk) 20:56, 9 May 2012 (UTC) Quality Assessment - ImportanceI'm wondering if there's a Project Toronto page explaining how to evaluate article importance. All I've found are the categories grouping Toronto articles by importance. Is the scale similar to the Project Canada Importance Scale? -A.Roz (talk) 00:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

We've noted that the Misplaced Pages page entry for the museum was nominated for deletion in August 2012 and we're glad that's not the case - very glad. In fact, the museum has embarked on a new plan and focus as a design museum, which brings exciting, groundbreaking exhibitions and shows from around the world and Canada. The new positioning statement for the museum is below. We understand and respect that the organization itself does not adjust or edit the Design Museum's Misplaced Pages entry; should there ever be an opportunity by the Commons / Wiki Editors to update the Design Museum's entry here, this would be much appreicated - as it reflects the museum's new focus. "As of March, 2012 the Design Exchange has taken a revitalized strategic direction and refined mandate - to promote the relevancy and experience of design to as large a number of people as possible, the DX will now be exclusively a Design Museum. Covering off the various design disciplines including fashion, architecture, interior and industrial design, digital design and more, exhibitions and programming will explore designers, products, projects or themes that have broad public appeal and reflect popular contemporary culture. Newly appointed President, Shauna Levy, leads this new direction offering renowned traveling exhibits from prestigious cultural institutions across the globe, a new city-wide cultural component, a greater focus on educational experiences for the public, including youth and adults, and a rollout of programming that will extend across the country." 38.122.185.12 (talk) 15:45, 23 November 2012 (UTC) Template: WikiProject Toronto{{WikiProject Toronto}} has been nominated for deletion.

Split of "List of Mayors of Toronto"It has been proposed to split the List of mayors of Toronto article. See the discussion on the talk page. Alaney2k (talk) 06:48, 18 November 2013 (UTC) Hero Certified BurgersI have nominated that article for deletion, as it looks like an advertisement and is mostly re-written by one person.

FARI have nominated Paul Kane for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.--Jarodalien (talk) 07:18, 20 March 2014 (UTC) WorldPride 2014WorldPride 2014 will be held in Toronto this year, replacing Pride Week (Toronto) events for one year. Is there someone who might be interested in organizing an edit-a-thon, or even a photography project, during the month of June in conjunction with Wiki Loves Pride 2014? Even just offering a photograph LGBT culture in Toronto would be a huge help and benefit to Misplaced Pages! Please let me know if you have any questions. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:02, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Undue weight at Toronto District School BoardI think there is undue weight to controversies at Toronto District School Board WhisperToMe (talk) 15:22, 22 September 2014 (UTC) Referring to Toronto subway linesSome editors are replacing Toronto subway lines anmes with their numbers in the text of various articles. there have been two proposals to rename the subway line articles; both were rejected. See Talk:Yonge–University–Spadina line. The TTC is using both the line number and the line name on their Subway/RT page. TTC information makes it clear that they are adding numbers to the names, not phasing out the names. At the end of this video, Chris Uphold of the TTC says this unambiguously. And this news release says: "Subway lines are not being renamed; rather, applying line numbers and colours already in use to existing line names...." Replacing the descriptive name with the undescriptive number does not improve the clarity of the article. I am inviting other editors to dsicuss this to try to stop the edit war. I propose to add the following to the project page:

Comment on the WikiProject X proposalHello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Misplaced Pages struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.)

Ground Zero | t 17:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC) Scotiabank TheatreHello. I would first like to point out that I am not from, nor do I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, however I do live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Anyway, as I was recently browsing, I came across a page (as seen in the link in the title above) that is in need of updates but which has been labeled within the scope of WikiProject Toronto. According to the page's edit history, it was only created as of this year. Given the fact that Scotiabank Theatre is a brand within Cineplex Entertainment, I would think it would be wise to consult the adminstrating editors of that company's page regarding this matter, but in terms of bringing it to your attention, I felt that I should inform you that this Scotiabank Theatre page is presented as though it were exclusive, when in actuality, it stands as merely one of eight locations across the country under the Scotiabank Theatre brand. Therefore, I feel it is advisable to either rename the page Scotiabank Theatre Toronto to more aptly describe the location while maintaining the page's exclusive nature, or pass off the page to the administrating editors of the Cineplex Entertainment page, or work in consultation with said editors to ensure that the page is revamped to incorporate information regarding the other seven Scotiabank Theatre locations in Canada (namely Vancouver, Edmonton, Chinook, Saskatoon, Montreal, Halifax and St. John's). Thank you. Snake Chess5 06:54, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject X is live! Hello everyone! You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X. Harej (talk) 16:57, 14 January 2015 (UTC) March 2015 Art+Feminism event in TorontoHi Toronto Wikipedians! I am reaching out to see if anyone in Toronto would be interested in helping out with editing training for a Misplaced Pages:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism edit-a-thon taking place at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto on Sunday March 8th. We would appreciate any assistance in securing at least one experienced Wikipedian in the Toronto area, and I'd be happy to put you in touch with the organizers if you are able to help out. More information about the Toronto event can also be found here. If interested, please reply on wiki or by e-mail at thepwnco.wiki@gmail.com.

For this i am trying to generate a list of all related memorials. Two of them are located in Toronto (this and this). I would really appreciate if some photographer from Toronto could make photos of them and upload them to Commons. At best it should be several photos of the object from different angles including from the backside and also possible details like plaques, inscription etc. Thank you very much in advance, --Aschroet (talk) 07:02, 10 April 2015 (UTC) Wiki Loves PrideYou are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride!
