Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in List of tallest buildings in Toronto, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 01:18, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Talk:List of tallest buildings in Toronto, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 02:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Toronto. There is a Manual of Style, edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Canadian_communities, use Canada 2006 Census data where available. It supersedes all municipal websites. Thank you. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 02:20, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Torontobusinessdistrict.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Torontobusinessdistrict.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 10:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Image Replacement

Hello there. I notice lately you've been replacing a lot of images on Wikipedia with photos you took yourself. While uploading your images is very much encouraged please be aware that many of the images that you are replacing are more appropriate than your own photos in the contexts in which they are used. For instance in articles talking about cities in general, having a photo of a cities skyline showing a lot of the city and what makes it special (for instance Toronto being by the lake) is much more useful and appropriate than a tight shot of part of the business district. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 02:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dundas Square Toronto at night.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Dundas Square Toronto at night.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
