The history info that has been recently added to this page comes from The City of Vaughan website. I this may be a copyright violation. Spstarr 03:41, 30 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Actually it comes from a few different sources, one of them being the City of Vaughan website (two others being the Thornhill Historic website and the area profile by the city's economic development department). If any of the text has been copied verbatim, you can remove it but I don't ever remember reading on the FAQs and such that paraphrasing historical information was considered copyright infringement.

-This article is inaccurate about ethnic demographics-

While Thornhill has played host to a large Jewish community for a couple of decades, the statement that the population is over 50% Jewish is inaccurate. While the article stated that 50% of the population is Jewish, the source it cited stated that there was a percentage point over 50% in Thornhill (Vaughan) -- only the Vaughan side which constitutes around 55% of the population. Furthermore, I have not been about to substantiate the claims in the original source cited which claimed ~51% of the Thornhill Vaughan were Jewish, therefore I have modified the sentence from "approximately 50% of the population are Jewish[3]" to "perhaps 50% of the population in the Vaughan portion of Thornhill are Jewish[3]".. even that should be researched and fixed.
