== Second Harvest ==
I'm not currently a participant in this project (is it still alive?) but I have noticed a significant number of Ontario-related articles now include a Demographics section. While I guess this information is relevant to some, I have a few issues with how it's being done:
* Contributions seem to be anonymous and mainly from ] and ] with no edit summaries
* Inconsistent formatting & terminology (e.g. "racial" vs "ethnic", "native american" vs "aboriginal", etc.)
* Prominence (does Demographics really deserve to appear before History?)
* Lack of references. In at least one case, ], someone has added the source as the ], however when I do my own calculations using census data the numbers don't always agree.
Thoughts? Ideally I'd love to hear from the two anonymous contributors, as it's obvious they've put a lot of work into tabulating this information. -- ] 20:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the "Western Ontario" stub, the official name for this part of the province is "Southwestern Ontario". Western Ontario is an outdated name partly because it can be confused with Northwestern Ontario. I think the name of the stub should be changed. ] 19:08, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
