Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 2601:83:8001:6790:515E:2B5F:736:7AC4, has made edits to List of metro systems that were made in good faith, but have been deemed not to contribute positively to the article. These edits have thus been reverted.

There are several reasons to consider these edits not really being an improvement for the article: the added note is misplaced, since there’s no point in putting it just above the table - a location that give undue weigh to the matter - rather than where such “system notes” naturally belong, that is the namesake section; plus it duplicates the already existent side note mirroring its content, with an unsightly effect. Moreover, I really don’t see why to mention specifically the Central line, instead of the truly pivotal step in the system history that was the opening of the first deep-level and electric line. But aside from all of this, what really deserve them to be undone is that the “Legend” section is crystal clear about which “opening” year should be listed: it applies to every system in the list - it’s the purpose of legends, after all - and it’s the expression of the current consensus. If someone really feel that their choice is a better one, they should discuss the global guideline on the talk page beforehand, instead of try to waive it in a singular case “on a whim”.
