Talk:Richmond Hill, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wow it's so sad that out of a town of 160,000 people only me has any town pride. Well, I suppose it is now up to me to write everything I know about the place I spent 14 years in so the rest of the world doesn't think we're that backwards.

- I was going to add some stuff in, just need to find some more stuff, you took everything :)Treleth 22:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Whoever it is, stop adding personal (and worthless) comments to the page, such as "like me and my friends"? and "I like pizza"? Thanks MM for reversing it Treleth

- Anyone who is doing that is not going to read this talk page (or care that you have told them to stop). It's just a fact of life on Wikipedia; we just get rid of it when we see it. Adam Bishop 05:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

i would hardly call the emerald isle hotel an attraction, it is an ugly hotel,that, as stated has usually funny rhymes on their board, but in reality the place is basically an eye sore.
well a movie with robin williams was jsut shot there...so I guess its a attraction now Treleth 02:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'd like to know what movie that is/was - it's not apparent from Robin's filmography at IMDb, but could perhaps be "Man of the Year (2006)" which shows locations in Ontario.PKT 18:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
FYI, I just did a revert to fix some vandalism - probably the same sort of personal (and worthless) comments that Treleth wrote about in April.PKT 15:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Population: Somebody changed the 2006 population figure from 163K to 176K today. Can anybody corroborate either figure? PKT 18:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- The best sources are Statistics Canada (132,030 as of 2001 Census) and the town itself (PDF - 171,499 as of March 2006). Mindmatrix 19:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nicknames
For the people that insist on adding this trivia, please note that unless you can provide reliable, independent citations noting the use of these names, they will be removed from the article. We've had this discussion for a number of locations already (for example, see the Scarborough talk page), and this article will not be treated any differently. I am removing them from the article, and requesting supporting documentation be provided in this discussion thread.
The names under consideration are: Rich Man's Hill, R-Hill, R-Town, The Hill, Richmond Hell and Ricky's Hill. The latter two seem unlikely, probably invented by someone looking to pass some time. The others may have some validity, but generate few relevant google hits (for example: Rich Man's Hill). The burden of proof rests with those that wan't this trivia added to the article.
