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 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)

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)

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)
 * 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)

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:, ,. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:15, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

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)
