Hello User Dscarborough
I just thought I would leave you a friendly warning that you've made three reverts on the page Scarborough, Ontario in the last 24 hours, and that Wikipedia policy prohibits more than three reverts in a 24 hour period when the issue at hand is disputed content. WilyD 16:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to point out that Wikipedia has a strict policy of not introducing original research, as you did in these two edits. Stating as fact something which is clearly an opinion is unwarranted and undesirable. Wikipedia is not a soapbox for your rants. If what you state is true, provide reliable sources. The claims you make are strong, and although they may have a kernel of truth to them, they don't reflect the common usage as you state it. On the Scarborough talk page, I have requested that each editor who provides information related to nicknames provide verifiable proof. This isn't restricted to you, it is required of all editors. You haven't handled this situation well at all, and are acting in a petulant manner. I have explained quite clearly on the talk page the conditions for inclusion of such information on Wikipedia. I expect that you will engage in discussion on the article's talk page to resolve this issue. Mind matrix 02:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey Dscarborough, I made significant formatting changes across the Scarborough article today relating to the discussion about the Scarborough in the News section. Under the circumstances, I'd especially appreciate your comments, eh? WilyD 20:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
WilyD, very nice job. When I first came across this page, I thought it was very offensive towards all of Scarborough. Now I clearly understand that it was in the state of 'work in process' and the fine tuning you have added to it is excellent. You say as well you're familiar with Tuxedo Court, as am I. Are you familiar with Colonel Danforth Drive, Hill Crescent, Meadowvale Hills, the new Morningside Heights community - all of which, and there are many more neihbourhoods like these in Scarborough, where smaller houses will start at $400k and work it's way to well over a million$ (especially Hill Crescent and surrounding areas)? There are many sides to Scarborough, and I sincerely applaud your efforts in bringing a more rounded informed approach to the page. Keep up the great job! Dscarborough 13:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps the Guild Inn, and this would be a good way to document the neglect and revival, as this whole site will be redeveloped in the coming years. The ruins would be very Romanesque I think.. :). I disagree with Tuxdeo Court, there are many beautiful streets of which Colonel Danforth is representative of. Tuxedo Court is by the same token no representation of Scarborough. If you want to offset the nature shot, pick any one of three dozen neighbourhoods in Scarborough and pick a residential house. We obviously live and travel in different parts of Scarborough. And this is what this page should try to reflect, the many sides of Scarborough. Dscarborough 21:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I think Kennedy Commons is good, but the Scarborough Town Centre development (which by the way will house a Loblaws Regional supercentre 160,000 sq. feet - ground breaking in the fall, is actually a good shot of the things so Scarborough - the mall, the RT, the simpleness and plainess of it all, Jack Astors etc., not ostentacious or pretentious. Representative of a real place devoid of wannabe's. Dscarborough 13:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
WilyD, how do you link people to Wikipedia? For example, Doris Mccarthy, one of the Walf of Fame honorees should definitely be listed. A world famous artist who painiting sell for excess of 100k (she is still alive). She has a few websites for herself and gallery. Dscarborough 15:10, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
WilyD: If you were not told, you are the man! Thanks for the help in editing etc.!
D, do you have a problem with the Toronto's name article? The nicknames discussed there don't really seem to me to fit the description you gave when you excised the wikilink from the article on Scarborough. WilyD 15:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
D2 (hmmn I wonder what your D stands for); I don't see the relationship between the Scarborough and Toronto nicknames. Whereas Toronto's is light hearted at worst, a few of the Scarborough ones convey a real hatred, even if it's the made up in the school yard one day by grown men. I think the nickname issue is a convenient way for some to vent their feelings on the varied ethnic makeup of Scarborough. The way it is right now states a simple truth. Scarberia for true Scarboroughites and also the haters, and Scarlem for the latent racists (save the FEW true Scarboroughites who actually would know the nuance of that word). I don't think we need to say it has the second most nicknames, when most of these can be refuted. By the way I've added to your feedback page for Scarborough. Keep up the great work!

It's just 2001 Census data - [1] - go to Immigration characteristics - foreign born population gives total immigrant percentage, and immigrated betwee 1991 and 2001 gives a more recent view. WilyD 19:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
