To the anonymous editor who reverted my changes:

1. Welcome to Wikipedia. Your contributions have helped make this a better article.

2. There are formatting standards that apply to all Wikipedia articles. They can be found in Wikipedia:Manual of Style and related articles.

For example, it says:

"2:34 p.m. NOT 2.34 PM" (see here)

Also, numbers less than ten are to be spelled out. (See here.)

And,

"So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there's no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there's a strong reason for doing so." (See here)

Finally, the article on Toronto is at Toronto. Toronto, Ontario is a redirect to Toronto. Please don't create this redirect again. Let's stick with the correct link.

If you have any questions, please post them here. Also, I would encourage you to register as a user. There are many benefits to doing so. Ground Zero | t 18:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That was me. Thanks for your courtesy. I'll respond to the four points in order.

AM/a.m. -- sorry about that. This notation comes up rarely enough in Wikipedia articles that I simply didn't think about there being an established style. I stand by my statement that AM is the best choice (the others invite confusion with end-of-sentence periods or the word "am"), but an established style trumps that.
It is not true that the style guide entry here requires "numbers less than ten to be spelled out". It says this is optional, and I say it's jarring to mix 14's and sevens. I'm reverting this change one more time, which will be the last for me.
Until earlier this year, Toronto was a redirect to Toronto, Ontario; I forgot that it had been reversed and didn't think to check. Thanks for the reminder.
On date links, my feeling is that majority practice is in conflict with the style guide, and I was attempting to conform to the former. Frankly, I think it was a mistake to make dates links in the first place; they serve very little purpose.

I didn't say that the style guide requires that numbers be spelled out, but on reviewing it again, I see that I misinterpreted it as being more prescriptive than it is. I still think that the numbers look dorky in this sentence, but I won't change it unless someone else agrees with me. Ground Zero | t 02:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

Changed the quality rating from 'B' to 'start' due to a nearly complete lack of citations and referencing. PK T(alk) 00:09, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changed back to 'C'. Article is missing inline citations throughout, but is not so poor as to warrant 'start' class rating. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vomit Comet

I removed this colloquial name from the article's lede. It is a pretty well-known local name for the system, though, so mentioning it somewhere in the article wouldn't be out of the question. I didn't see an obvious place to add it, but if someone wants to, here are some sources: [1], [2], [3]. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:15, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First reference with biggest night network claim broken

The reference for the claim that the Blue Night Network is the biggest in North America is a broken link. Can't find any other source on this WoaItsBren (talk) 03:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
