[edit] 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. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.29.184.151 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Vaughan Watch
I urge anybody who wants to here who wants to look deeper into Vaughan's practices to visit Vaughan Watch.

- 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
above unsigned comment by user:70.29.239.249/user:the diceman
- First off, start signing your comments please. you do it by typing four tildes (~) at the end of the comment. Second of all, no. If you have a problem with my edits, take it up with an admin. pm_shef 01:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 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
[edit] 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)
- 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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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
- All data should be cited. In this case, the reference page is here; it just takes a bit of perusal to find it. Many more data tables can be found here. Please note that the information presented as of your most recent edit is wrong - it double counts quite a lot of the population, so the percentages are WAY OFF. They are not statistically valid as presented. Mindmatrix 14:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

- I've altered the "ethnic origin" box to be for "religion", as it was very similar to the "ethinicity" chart in the infobar which covers most of that information already. I've also added references for both. -- pm_shef 15:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

- I am sure that most of our Wikipedia users are mixed ethnic origins. Some may be mixtures of for example Italian, English, Irish, combined in one. Obviously, there will double counts in the population it includes multiple responses as well, as the census allows that and no one is one ethnic origin anymore.

[edit] Trivia
1. Gretzky did not play in Vaughan, the team relocated from Vaughan to Toronto in 1974 and was known as the Toronto Nationals (later name changed to Toronto Young Nationals). 2. Auto. accident is not wiki worthy. I removed both from the article--CharteredMember 02:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] dab
Do we really need the dab notice on the top? It would be relevant if Vaughan redirected here, but it doesn't. I rather doubt a user enetering Vaughan, Ontario would be interested in looking for Vaughan, Mississippi. Fishhead64 16:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Map
The map on this page isn't very useful. It has no points of reference, visual or textual. Perhaps if one is familiar with Vaughan it makes more sense, but this map is really not much more than a collection of seemingly meaningless shapes. Beaverfever 14:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
