Speedy deletion of image

Hi Weston ontario, I've nominated an image you uploaded for speedy deletion here. I don't believe Google images can be copied and released under GFDL. An admin will decide the merits of this and of course you can contest the deletion, as outlined in the notice at the image page. Franamax (talk) 08:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Franamax, i noticed you deleted some contributions i made to the history section of the weston ontario article. any particular reason why? Weston ontario (talk) 10:39, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

One thing is that you don't really use Capital Letters very well - so I have to revise your edits no matter what :) And then, when I go through your edit, I have to ask what exactly is good for the article. In that case, a lot of the Hurricane Hazel detail is best left in the hurricane article, only the significant parts should be in the "higher level" article and that's what I tried to leave. I also added the bit about how really the Humber River flood caused changes all through Ontario on flood-plain zoning (and if you have any sources to back that up, please let me know, it had a big impact on Ontario). Also I reworded the "Weston-is-still-a-town" part to make it sound a little better (and added a ref, I think).

You can always rewrite what I rewrite, feel free. I'm not trying to delete anything, I'm trying to incorporate and improve what you write into the whole article, so some of what you write might come back out, some of what was already there might come out too. Sooner or later, the bits that I wrote will get changed too - it's a wiki! :) Franamax (talk) 11:17, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Village and town

Another user has wikilinked the terms "village" and "town" in the Weston, Ontario article. I reverted, saying it's not necessary (I believe "overlinking" is the term for this), but he has added it again. What is your opinion, do we need this? If you say no, I'll ask him to explain his reasons, otherwise I may have to let it stand. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 14:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
