Fair use rationale for Image:City of Toronto Logo.gif[edit]
Image:City of Toronto Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
The move to City of Toronto government should have been discussed first. I have changed it back to Municipal government of Toronto until a discussion takes place. TrailBlzr (talk) 18:39, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: No consensus – Split decision after two weeks, and consistency with other Canadian cities, e.g. Municipal government of Montreal has not even been mentioned. No prejudice against trying again or picking a different target, but maybe first some project-level discussion will help find an answer that can gain consensus.

Municipal government of Toronto → City of Toronto government – The government of the City of Toronto is the City of Toronto Corporation. It is commonly called the City of Toronto, although by convention City of titles redirect to the short form. The term Municipal government of Toronto is not used and is more of a technical term. We do not use Federal Government of Canada or Provincial Government of Ontario. Alaney2k (talk) 19:18, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I am ok with Government of Toronto, coz it's consistent with other naming, but it's not my first choice. Definitely better than Municipal government of ... Alaney2k (talk) 14:50, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of information about Toronto property tax rates[edit]
To preface, I'm new to Wikipedia, so please let me know if there's a certain format or way to do this.
Regarding the reversal of my contribution to add the current property tax rate and the history of the property tax rate to the article:
A municipality's property tax rate is a defining characteristic of the finances of the municipality. Although it can change from year to year, an initial baseline can help readers understand the context of Toronto's finances and comparisons to other municipalities.
Toronto has one of the lowest property tax rates in Ontario, and of most major municipalities. Its property tax rate is subsequently of note.
Toronto's property tax rate has changed minimally in the past decade and local politics are against any major shifts in the near future. If it changes significantly, that would be a significant event and worth adding to the article anyway.
I believe my contribution should be reinstated.
