Talk:Port Credit, Ontario

message: Is it appropriate to reference the book (lacking citation) in the introduction? Doesn't seem very encyclopedic.

I have lived in Port Credit for 29 years and have absorbed the history while talking to neighbours and reading the books they have recommended.

message: I am a student at U of T and I have been working with some old archives and maps of towns in Ontario. I found an old map of Port Credit and it lists the QEW as the northern most boundary.

I've seen the words Canadian National Railway tracks replaced by Queen Elizabeth Way; is there a reason for this?
*--If the present Mississauga "Community" consideres itself as that area; note it. However, the CN tracks were the limits of the former town, even though folks north of the tracks had a "Port Credit" Mailing address
*--it was edited out recently, that Port Credit Secondary School (which at present is "Uncategorized"; after I'll post this it won't be an "orphan"!) was never in Port Credit, proper....
Any further input??

message: As I said that I would, I have consulted the city of Mississauga and below place the response with references to two different maps from two different departments.

Just click on Port Credit, and you will be taken to the District Policies Land Use map, which shows the boundaries. I hope this will address your needs; if not please do not hesitate to contact me .

The Port Credit Land Use Map (http://www6.mississauga.ca/onlinemaps/planbldg/missplan/portcred.pdf) provided by the City of Mississauga describes the boundaries of Port Credit as Seneca Street and the Adamson Estate on the east, the Canadian National Railway on the north, Godfrey's Lane and Shawnmarr Road to the west and the lake to the south.

Please undertand that many people make references to the most visbile local landmarks and others take that folklore and present it as fact. You have presented some quaint anecdotal evidence but it is not documented fact from a reputable source.
Note also all my references to the Village of Port Credit. I have noted in reading that you refer to the Township of Port Credit. You may chose to document the Township of Port Credit but please differentiate between the two entities.
I have re-edited the boundaries and will alert Wikipedia and ask for arbitration if they are subsequently edited without documented fact.

message: Under 'The Community', there is a reference to the 'replica of the Port Credit lighthouse'. Inasmuch as a replica is an exact copy, that description is incorrect, as this photo of the original lighthouse will show: http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/residents/allhistoricimages?paf_gear_id=13400033&imageId=2800018n&index=0&returnUrl=%2Fportal%2Fresidents%2Fallhistoricimages 
It would be appropriate to reword this sentence to reflect that fact.

thread_title:  Port Credit Lighthouse 

message: This article reads like a tourist brochure, and is severely lacking a neutral point of view. Sentences like "Life in Port Credit has always focused on community. One enduring example..." or "Another example of the community spirit is..." don't belong in an encyclopedic article. --Goodbye Galaxy (talk) 18:54, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
