With the Manchester Metrolink article at WP:GAC standard, this page looks pretty shabby, and needs a lot of work. Would there be any objections to covert this article into a (referenced and illustrated) timeline, like Timeline of London Underground? I have created a draft example at User:Jza84/Sandbox2. It should be much easier to write, update and maintain, and a proper prose-based history article can always be recreated again in the more distant future. -- Jza84 | Talk 15:53, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
To sum up, its the editors responsibility to add material they believe to be missing or correct errors or ommissions, the rules clearly indicate that even questionable material should never be removed unless its offesnive or can be cited as incorrect. Wikipedia is a collective work not the work of an individual, improvement is a gradual and communal process. WatcherZero ( talk) 02:22, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of History of Manchester Metrolink's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:34, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
