replies: text: They seemed pretty darn close to the center of the settlement. Nevertheless, I've tweaked them a bit. Any problems now? Deor (talk) 18:08, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: When I click the coordinates on the Whitchurch-Stouffville page, and then the Google Map, MapQuest or Yahoo Map options, it takes me way east of Stouffville. I'm I doing something wrong? Neufast (talk) 23:24, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know. When I go from the GeoHack page (what you get when you click on the coordinates) to Google Maps, MapQuest, or Yahoo Maps, the pushpin is practically on top of the label "Stouffville"—at the intersection of Main St. and Church St., to be precise. Can you give me a better indication of what you're seeing? What label is the pushpin near on the Google map, for instance? (Sorry about the tardy response, by the way. Even though I asked you a question, I forgot to watch the page.) Deor (talk) 00:32, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

text: Addendum: From the road boundaries given in the article's lead, it looks as though the geographical center of the municipality is about . Do you think those coordinates would be better, even though they don't correspond to a very populated part of the town? Deor (talk) 01:31, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think so. The coordinates should refer to the municipality, not a single community within it. (The Stouffville article should point to the centre of that community, of course.) As an aside, do we have polygon-based coord templates? All I've found are a few short discussions about adding that functionality, but nothing further; see this and this. Polygons would be particularly useful to describe the municipal boundaries. Mindmatrix 14:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, so emended. I don't really know enogh about the matter to answer your "polygon based" question; if that is possible, I'm not familiar with it. Deor (talk) 15:06, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Coordinate error 

message: I've put a redirect from "Stouffville" to "Whitchurch-Stouffville". Those looking for Stouffville will find the Whitchurch-Stouffville page to be the most comprehensive.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Neufast (talk • contribs) 
:I've reverted it. The term Stouffville should redirect to the most appropriate page for its subject, in this case Stouffville, Ontario. The fact that the article is weak compared to this one is inconsequential. Mindmatrix 14:29, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Time to merge. No one will ever search for "Whitchurch-Stouffville" (unknown, even to locals!). When searching for "Stouffville," they should be directed to the Whitchurch-Stouffville article. Neufast (talk) 19:22, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirect from search: "Stouffville"

message: In the Demographics section of the article, there is quite a blatant formatting error. I don't know how to fix this, so I thought I would just point this out. Blorper234 (talk) 04:38, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Formatting mistake in Demographics section 

message: This page's 2nd pushpin map - the map whose caption reads: "Whitchurch–Stouffville in relation to southern Ontario" - *incorrectly* locates the town of Whitchurch-Stouffville quite far southeast with a pushpin on the Niagara region.  
This error stands in contradiction of the page's 1st map appearing immediately above it ("Location of Whitchurch–Stouffville within York Region") which correctly identifies the town shaded in red, and further contains an additional in-set map that also shows the correct location of the town (also shaded in red).
The incorrect "Whitchurch–Stouffville in relation to southern Ontario" map  requires moving of the pushpin from its current [as of 18 March 2022] location on Niagara Region, northwest up to the town's actual location in York Region. Elysium0820 (talk) 10:49, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed - there was a transcription error from the source, with the latitude starting at 43 degrees instead of 44 degrees. Mindmatrix 13:56, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
