Talk:Vaughan

The history info

The history info that has been added to this page comes from The City of Vaughan website. I assume that is probably a copyright violation. Adam Bishop 03:06, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I would contact the city to verify if the information posted can be used freely. spstarr 06:07, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)

NOTE: I'm sure the city doesn't care, because mostly everything here is positive. I urge people to take a more critical look at this city. They will be appalled at what they find. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.184.151 (talk • contribs)

Vaughan Watch

I urge anybody who wants to here who wants to look deeper into Vaughan's practices to visit Vaughan Watch.

Check out Carrying Place Ratepayers Association

• I've added a disclaimer to the Vaughan Watch link at the bottom of the article. It is a biased site, and uninformed visitors should be aware of that. pm_shef 03:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Everything you write is biased so can we censor you? 20:16, 2 March 2006

Canadian Municipalities

• What do you guys think of moving the list of Councillors off this page and creating a Vaughan City Council page to link to Category Canadian City Councils? pm_shef 01:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you'll be interested after this November. 20:16, 2 March 2006 above unsigned comment by user:70.29.239.249/user:the diceman

Sidebar

• You'll notice I added the cool information bar on the right side. The one piece of info that I'm missing is the area (in square km) of the city. Any help would be appreciated on that... as well as any suggestions to improve the box. Thanks! pm_shef 03:22, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh yes, C'est ultra cool. Now if only my hometown had the same cool info bar. Phil-hong 11:09, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• uhhhh, It does. pm_shef 01:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

• • Also, I removed the demographics list from the main article since its included in the sidebar now... Didn't think we needed to duplicate the info. pm_shef 03:29, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Hrmm... Well I like the Vaughan bar better. It doesn't look like it was made using code from 1997. Phil-hong 06:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

• Cool, well when I get a chance I'll switch it for Bramptons. pm_shef 00:17, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

• the diceman, there was no reason to delete our city manager from the info box, its standard with info boxes in other cities. pm_shef 01:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Mayor

The main page (as presently edited) appears to identify the Mayor of Vaughan as someone other than the sidebar name. Lacking any verifiable evidence, I merely note this, and that I cannot justifiably edit it. -- Simon Cursitor 12:37, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Michael Di Biase has been Vaughan's mayor since 2002. He became involved in the city's politics when he was elected local councillor in 1985. In the 2003 Municipal Election, Di Biase won his first official term since the passing of Mayor Lorna Jackson. The above, as taken from the article is correct, and is the same as in the sidebar..... - pm_shef 01:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Environmentally Friendly

• What on earth are you on about ED209? How is it not possible for a building to be environmentally friendly? The entire purpose of the LEED standard is to certify a building as environmentally friendly! Low emissions, low paper usage, green roof, energy efficient light bulbs, etc. Do i need to explain some more?! -- pm_shef 22:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Demogrpahics

Since when is the religions of Vaughan more important than the ethnic origins that live there. The big unnecessary chart of religions should be removed from the page. You can find a credible source of these statistics by going to the community profile page. Once your in Vaughan, on the right hand side, a bar states additional data. Clicking there, reveals a chart. by clicking on "ethnic origin" you find these numbers. there is no specific address. - Galati
