Talk:Keele Valley landfill

Amazing work

Great work on this article. I never thought the stub I created a few years ago would grow into such an impressive article. - SimonP (talk) 12:47, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

First, I'd like to say damn you! Had I not noticed that in my watchlist...

Secondly, thanks! My biggest concern is that I rely on article abstracts from the Toronto Star archival system; I don't have full access to them. Moreover, I have no access to the Globe's archives, or any others for that matter, meaning most of the info is culled from the Star.

Thirdly, the phrasing needs work. There are many sentences that begin "in 199X" etc. Copyediting is most welcome.

And finally, I need to find sources that separate out the various fees charged and revenues generated by year (and source), as well as the tonnage of garbage and other refuse deposited at the landfill. This info is really hard to find; the Star's numbers are inconsistent at times (as are their stats for the size of the landfill).

I'll keep plugging away at it! Mindmatrix 16:23, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
