2009-03-08 03:19:38 Himy, we lost the logo you changed in the transition to our new server — here it is:
The day's logo is back up there. Unlike that missing ghost hour, we don't have to wait until November and Eastern Standard Time for it to reappear. Ahhhh the wonderful mysteries of Daylight Savings Time unravelled. Thanks Philip.
2009-03-20 07:18:18 congratulations on 2000 pages... http://www.wikisauga.ca is catching up! :) —AmirSyed
Thanks! ...and we'll see about 
that :P —HimySyed
2009-05-18 17:59:51 Himy, I was nice to meet my time traveling neighbour from Redcar. —MichaelPerry
2009-07-12 22:59:48 Heads up. We've had a spammer on 
Davis Wiki that may head here next. Look for dental spam from Users/Thornhill. —JasonAller
Will do. Thanks. —HimySyed
2009-07-17 10:54:55 Hey HiMY: I notice you've added a table of contents to our wiki page (davenport4peace). But unfortunately, only one of the five links works. Can you fix this for me? Cuz it's a great feature and it'll be better when the contents links actually work! Thanks. Love Torontopedia! —RogerRolfe
Roger, Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it on during my quick edit. Subheadlines, when bolded using the three apostrophe marks, seemed to break the TableOfContents macro. I removed the bold formatting and they now work. As you can see, I moved the Table Of Contents box to the top right of the page and re-purposed your sub-headlines so they now appear as Table Of Contents listings. Please revert/change as you deem fit. —HimySyed
2009-09-20 08:59:10 The Thornhill Dentist spammer is back under a new name. Odd, as they are spamming the Davis Wiki again. Strange. You'd think that since they are a Thornhill, Ontario practice, they would spam closer to home. Userinfo. —JabberWokky
2009-10-17 00:46:47 Hi, it's Kathy Tudor. I'm sorry for posting my blurb about the High Park Choirs to so many neighbourhood pages, but we are trying to target the west end. I would like to edit the page you created for our organization, but ever since you did that, you must have also done something to my ability to edit, because I can no longer edit any pages or leave any comments. I had to create a new user ID to leave you this comment. Also, I don't understand what my LinkedIn profile has to do with posting something on this wiki. —KathyTudor2
Good Morning Kathy and thank you for your clarification. It is greatly appreciated. My intention in temporarily disabling your account's ability to edit pages was based upon past experience. Now and then, brand new user accounts have spawned numerous wiki pages being edited rapidly in succession, sometimes within seconds of one another, with weblinks to an offsite commercial website. In such instances, the new account member apparently was trying to achieve some SEO objective for the target website being linked to. One can imagine that perhaps being for a paying client for the perceived SEO activity. Your registering with your RealName and comment here confirms otherwise. Your permission levels on your original KathyTudor are back to normal. I appreciate your combining your enthusiasm for the wiki with your volunteer work in advocating for The High Park Choirs of Toronto. That is exactly Torontopedia's purpose in improving our city. What say you do your best in improving the High Park Choirs of Toronto wiki page. I'll add a little TLC in terms of wiki formatting if it'll help any. Once your editing of the HPC is ready for prime time, we can feature it on the front page of the wiki. How's that sound Kathy? (I'm cross-posting this comment onto your own page.)
2010-06-17 12:18:45 Can you make the front page editable again... It really needs to be cleaned up. —MikeK.
Good to hear from you MikeK.. Edit the Front Page Sandbox and once you're ready, your edits will make it to the Front Page. I trust that's okay.
2010-06-17 15:39:59 Can't figure out how to rename a page. Wikispot instructs a user to "Go into Edit and click "Rename". Links to the old name will automatically redirect to the new page." But I can't find any button or link that says rename. Help! http://wikispot.org/Wiki_Guide#head-590d35992b284b127450f163aba50a704ba8782b —MikeK.
2010-07-02 02:29:30 An error keeps occurring when I try to leave a comment with a link in it to another Torontopedia page on the Front Page Sandbox. I some how end up editing the Random Thumbnails page instead of being able to leave a comment. —MikeK.
2010-10-06 20:31:34 Hi HiMY, do you have any knowledge of the PEI wiki? There's a bit of confusion with who the administrator is, and we're trying to clear it up with WikiSpot. If it was indeed you, is it possible to appoint me an admin? If you didn't create it, then there seems to be a mix-up and we would appreciate it if you contacted contact@wikispot.org —KrisBulman
Done. Glad PEI Wiki is in good hands. Running for Mayor of Toronto has my hands tied campaigning. Look forward to meeting you in person one day. Always wanted to walk the red sands of Roseneath and Montague. Thanks for catching the wiki bug! HimySyed
2010-10-24 13:04:15 Also can't find the rename button. I made the mistake of putting the apostrophe in the page name and now the link stops at torontopedia.ca/Kai' when it should be Kai'enne_Tyrmerik. Just need to get the apostrophe out.
Also you rule. My vote's going in for you tomorrow! —KaienneTyrmerik
I think the "rename" button only crops up if you are an "administrator" - at least that's my experience with 
ptbo. You can work around it by creating the new page and then editing the old page to be a redirect page. If you want to delete the old page (after checking to make sure any links to it are altered appropriate, you may need to get one of the administrators to do that. — j-beda
2010-12-20 12:31:05 Hey HImy,
Did you ever get around to making those changes I suggested for the front page? —MikeK.
2010-12-27 16:48:34 Still haven't heard back from you about the suggested changes. If you are too busy, I make the changes myself if you change the permissions. —MikeK.
2011-01-13 22:38:00 Still waiting to hear back from you about the suggested changes to the front page. —MikeK.
2011-06-17 18:36:54 Still waiting to hear back from you about the suggested changes to the front page. Why don't you just remove the block that only allows yourself to edit it. Let me edit it. What you like, you keep. What you don't like, you can change, and then you can reinstate it so only yourself can edit it. I'll be careful and respectful with what changes I make. —MikeK. —MikeK.
2011-06-17 18:37:34 By frontpage, I mean the "explore" page —MikeK.
2011-08-09 00:23:21 Still waiting to hear back from you about the proposed changes. —MikeK.
2011-10-05 19:29:34 Excellent wiki! Thank you for all your work. Note that the "About the Ontario Science Centre" section that you added to the old page revision http://www.torontopedia.ca/Ontario_Science_Centre?action=recall&version=1 was a copy of copyrighted content: the last two paragraphs of http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/media/Details.aspx?releaseid=1159 . Does it make sense to you that it's better not to copy that type of content onto a Creative Commons-licensed wiki? —Unforgettableid
2011-10-12 22:06:06 Some started another Toronto Wiki: http://www.wikito.org/Main_Page
Also, still waiting to hear back about the proposed changes. This is seriously killing my enthusiasm for contributing. —MikeK.
2011-11-30 21:24:17 Still waiting... I am wondering if you even check the comments page. —MikeK.
Doing my best to balance my limited time online with all the demands that go with it. The Front Page has grown and is quite busy. I'd like to prune it to something along the lines of DavisWiki and RocWiki which is more inviting to first time visitors.
2011-12-16 13:40:05 I agree - it should be pruned. I'd like to help. I can send you a proposed revision of the front page in a word doc for you to review and make additions/corrections. Let me know if this works. —MikeK.
Mike, I bumped up your account permissions. You should be able to edit the Front Page now.
Finally have some time to get around to this - I can edit the Front Page - but not the Explore page, which is what needs to be revamped. —MikeK.
You can now edit the Explore page now Mike. Let's see your revamp.
