Bolton, Ontario
Hi there. Would you be ok if I tweaked a bit? It's a great photo, I just want to brighten it a bit. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 22:20, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, go for it! Was at the end of a trip coming back from Owen Sound and was the last picture I could get before the sun was gone haha. - Floydian τ ¢ 22:29, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I brightened it just a bit. Please revert if it looks unnatural.  Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 22:47, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Ontario Highway 403 TFA nomination
Letting you know that as the August TFA scheduler I have gone for Political history of medieval Karnataka for the 15th to commemorate Indian Independence Day. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:57, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * What a shame, an article that could be used any August 15th instead of one that marks a significant anniversary. - Floydian τ ¢ 13:03, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * If it is of any interest there is a free slot on 8 August. Or I could reshuffle things to free up the 14th. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * August 14th perhaps... a day early but not bad. If not I'll be waiting until December 1, 2023, the 60th anniversary of the first section opening. - Floydian τ ¢ 13:10, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. (See here.) Gog the Mild (talk) 13:17, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Should I re-date the nomination or is everything fine and dandy as is? - Floydian τ ¢ 13:30, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, it's fine. Barring a major issue being discovered with the article or some other equally unlikely contingency it will run on the 14th. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:33, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Highway 420 (Ontario)
Are these photos from this website considered in the public domain, if they were originally obtained from the Ontario MTO?   FobTown (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Public domain for the MTO/Its predecessors is 50 years from the end of the calendar year, so everything up to 1971 currently. Anything copyright by Averill Hecht is also ok, which are 1989. - Floydian τ ¢ 23:53, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring
I figured out that we aren't friends due to earlier disagreements, but would greatly appreciate if you could just let bygones be bygones and move on. Not pleased about you trolling me during a dispute on a non-highway article where you don't read the content first. Furthermore this claim is a gross exaggeration considering that you are not blameless in our one-on-one disputes. I prolly understand that you get uptight or anxious if that Ontario highway article is about to face a Good Article or Feature Article nomination but there is no need to overreact. I'm not here to wreck that article, but there should be more clarity/detail when available. If the source isn't perfect it is at least a good starting point. FobTown (talk) 20:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I've said it since the beginning, use the talk page to discuss stuff, not the edit summary. - Floydian τ ¢ 21:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2014): "As part of my continued push towards a Featured Topic on Ontario's 400-series highways, I present Highway 403 - one of the first freeways planned for Ontario, but also one of the most disjointed and recently completed."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:05, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
