Updates[edit]

I added a link for Blue22, since there is a separate Wikipedia article for it.--Stetson 06:13, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's called Blue22 for its trip time, not 22km distance. It will also increase rail traffic more than four-fold.

added photograph http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Weston_st_phillips.jpg and coordinates to top right of page which links to usefull information. Weston ontario 21:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move suggestion[edit]

I propose that this article be moved to Weston, Ontario as per Wikipedia:CANSTYLE#Neighbourhoods/communities guidelines as it was a formerly autonomous town that is recognised by Canada Post. DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Move consistent with applicable naming convention. Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per CANSTYLE convention. Mind matrix 18:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support per CANYSTYLE. DigitalC (talk) 23:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Against, not sure about the move. weston's current status is as a neighborhood in the city of toronto. there is a re-direct page that links the words "weston ontario" to the current article. it used to be weston ontario but now it is currently part of toronto. as much as i'd love to see weston be its own town again, i'm against the article move because it doesn't reflect the current reality. Weston ontario (talk) 22:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:CANSTYLE, any place that's recognized by Canada Post as a separate mailing address can have an article title in the "Place, Ontario" format regardless of whether it's an independent municipality or a city neighbourhood. Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York and North York are titled in the "Place, Ontario" format, and they aren't independent cities anymore either. Thornhill is also named in the "Place, Ontario" format, and it's never been a separate municipality. Bearcat (talk) 00:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support per CANSTYLE, I thought the guideline should be Weston (Toronto) but I didn't comment at the time, now it is what it is. Franamax (talk) 23:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With 5 supports citing WP:CANSTYLE guidelines and one "unsure" against because it's part of Toronto, I will now move the article as proposed. Thanks all for your consideration. DoubleBlue (Talk) 01:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was a mistake. Weston is not a postal address. Lookups on Canada Post refer to the streets as being in York. Alaney2k (talk) 15:34, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to links needed[edit]

Does anyone have the time to give this article an overhaul regarding the ways links are embedded? We seem to be using various methods.

All internal links to other Wikipedia articles should use Wikilinks (like this).
All external links to other websites should be done using the <ref> tag.
There should not be a direct link from the body of an article, to an off-site page. Some users may not want to go off-site without warning, and may presume that any links in the body of tan article will stay within Wikipedia. Let's not pull surprises on users.
There should be no links to raw JPGs. Maps from off-site are usually used on web pages, and we should be linking to those pages.

I could do these changes myself... but not right at the moment. If nobody else handles it, I'll take care of it later, but I'd be just as happy if someone else jumped in. Thanks. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 13:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
