Since when does changing "the spock of Guelph" to "the city of Guelph" count as vandalism? Please read what you're changing before undoing other user's edits. Tunborough (talk) 01:51, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

eat a dick - Me (Today) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.55.26.229 (talk) 04:26, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The response by 142.55.26.229, an IP registered to Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario says it all. Note the following other deceptive vandalism edits by one of the people (almost surely the same one) using this IP [1], [2]. Nevertheless, on the very off-chance that "spock" might be some obscure geographical term, I checked both the print editions of the OED and Webster's Third New International Dictionary. There is no such word. Voceditenore (talk) 15:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Communities, former communities, and railway points

[edit]

Many former "communities" which consisted of a couple of houses around a mill were listed in the communities section of this page. Using the official map of the township, and the MNRC database of place names, I edited the list to reflect only communities that actually represent a collection of houses and buildings in close proximity in 2020, with place names that exist in the MNRC database.

  • Armstrong Mills: since it's occupied by a famous Canadian artist now, there's some news coverage about its current use. (See cite in article.) One household lives in the mill building; no other sign of any community remains, and the dam was washed out half a century ago.
  • Birge Mills: I could find a few cites showing that the place did exist once, and it remains in the MNRC database. I believe the mill building is still standing and used as a residence, and the dam remains intact, but can four houses, each on one-plus-acre lots, without any commercial or institutional presence, be considered a "community" for the purpose of this section?
  • Mosborough: a former "railway point" which continues only as a historic place name in the MNRC database, with a single long-repurposed post office building. The name is also reflected in the nearby Mosborough Market, but that's a farm business (and about a mile east of the original location of the railway stop).
  • Rockcut: a former "railway point" which continues only as a historic place name in the MNRC database, now completely subsumed by the town of Rockwood.

If you disagree with these edits, please don't just revert it without explaining why! Marnevell (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
