The new, estimated population (2006?) is listed on the page (band on right) as being in 2001. And then there is the listing of the town's estimate from 2005 in the main text. Could someone who knows all of the details please clean this up? My suggestion would be stick to the StatsCan data from 2001 until new, reliable data is available. The chart on the left takes care of estimates. SteveMtl 03:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The results of the 2006 Census are supposed to be released in late March. Blotto adrift 04:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Restaurants in Orangeville.[edit]

I'd like to disagree, big time with the statement that The Old Train Station is a 2 star restaurant and Il Corso is a 3 star. Il Corso's food is terrible in comparison to what I've eaten at The Old Train Station.

In fact without references there shouldn't be any listing there. Would someone care to find out that information? Zeipher17 20:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

paintball is there one?[edit]

I have heard many things about a paintball arena in orangeville, is it true? If thjere truely is one were is it located?

Advertising on Wikipedia[edit]

This space should not be used to advertise local business (re: Kingpin Bowling, now removed). Cheers!


Not a Bad Page[edit]

I'd just like to say thanks to all the people who have contributed to this page. Even as a long-time resident (aka "Orangevillain") I learned a lot of new things about the town.

Youth[edit]

What is there for minor football and equestrian riding around the town?

Cornerstone (Media)[edit]

Does anyone have a source for the entry to the effect that US religious broadcaster Cornerstone has a facility in Orangeville? This article (and assorted copies of it on other sites) is the only place I can find this mentioned online - nothing on Cornerstone's site either. Blotto adrift 22:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the reference. Blotto adrift 03:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The church in the uptown theater just rebroadcasts it or something similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.103.20 (talk) 04:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

I hate to criticise photos. However, does anyone else think the photo of the Fairgrounds Shopping Centre fails to add much to the article? It's essentially a picture of a parking lot with some buildings far in the distance. It's very generic. The streetscape shots are better, although they're almost identical. Blotto adrift 22:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I will remove it.

Fair use rationale for Image:Orangeville.JPG[edit]

Image:Orangeville.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Mayor[edit]

As of right now, when you click on the link on the right hand side at the top of the page for Rob Adams, you get a link to some American actor from Missouri. This is clearly not a correct link. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, does anyone know how to change this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leprechaun4884 (talkcontribs) 06:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't figure it out either. I did add the incorporation date for the town though, so it isn't a total loss. Blotto adrift (talk) 21:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copying this from List of mayors of Orangeville, Ontario for archival purposes, should someone desire to source this information and include it in Orangeville, Ontario as the former unsourced list is likely to be deleted due to lack of ability to verify the information. Since the wikitable was already built, it seemed a wasted effort for someone to have to re-code it. It just needs to be sourced before we can include it.
