Peace and e-Greetings be upon you

My name is HiMY (pronounced HiM-Me), I'm co-creator of Torontopedia and have been busy seeding articles and getting this city wiki ready for prime time.

If you're new here, take a peek at the Introduction page.

If you still have questions about this wiki, ask it on the FAQ page.

You may leave questions for me personally by leaving a comment below. Older comments have been archived.

—PhilipNeustrom

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

2009-10-17 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.
