Reference formatting
Hi there. I noticed you were having trouble formatting a reference in the Toronto article. Here's what you should type in:

However, please note that for the purpose you were trying to use it, it is not appropriate. In order to provide a citation for population figures, link directly to the source specifically citing the figure. For instance, for Toronto's 2001 Census, the link would be to this page. If the reader has to hunt for the information, the link is not a valid citation. I hope this is helpful information. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page.

Cite sources for your claims
Hi. You continue to add information suggesting that parts of New York are in the Golden Horseshoe, but you've failed to provide a single source for those claims. I have done an internet search to find just one reliable source, but found nothing, so I have deleted this information from the article (as well as related articles you edit to add this information). From this point forward, addition of this info without references will be deleted immediately without further elaboration. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies to ensure that your edits are consistent with the goals of this project. Mind matrix  18:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Regarding Windsor-Detroit and the Montreal-Ottawa Corridor, could you please also provide sources to confirm that these are actually recognized as statistical metropolitan areas by Statistics Canada? The phrase "Montreal-Ottawa Corridor", for example, gets just 58 Google hits, of which the majority are either Wikipedia or Wikia mirrors...and the majority of what's left has the words "Toronto" or "Quebec" in it too. There's not a single verifiable reference to this "Montreal-Ottawa" thingy as a formally-recognized concept. A metropolitan area is not any random collection of municipalities that a Wikipedian chooses to draw a box around; we can only write articles about metropolitan entities that are officially designated as such by StatsCan. So we can't write about a "Montreal-Ottawa Corridor" until StatsCan designates one for us to write about. Bearcat 05:50, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I have nominated this page for deletion. So far you have neglected to include sources, and investigation on my part fails to find any evidence to support the existence of this urban area. The deletion pages is Articles_for_deletion/Montreal-Ottawa Corridor. Jamincan 00:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

And another AfD:Articles for deletion/Lower Mainland-Vancouver Island
Feel free to add sources or weigh in by clicking the link above and backing up your claim that these 2 place are beginning to form into a single urban area. cheerio, bobanny 07:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
