Orphaned references in Ontario Highway 58[edit]

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 Ontario Highway 58'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.

Reference named "gmaps":

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 01:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lede
  • "The southern segment travels from Niagara Regional Road 3, formerly Highway 3, in Port Colborne, to the Highway 58A junction in the southern end of Welland, a distance of 7.2 km (4.5 mi); the northern segment begins at Highway 20 near Allanburg and travels north and west to a large junction with Highway 406 at the St. Catharines – Thorold boundary, a distance of 8.3 km (5.2 mi). " -too long. New sentence before the northern segment is fine.
  • Isn't "travelled" a British English spelling?
  • Not sure if Canadian English uses two or one, but I've always used two l's in my writing and never had it contested before. - Floydian τ ¢ 19:54, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Description
  • "the route passes beneath a railway" -can you be more specific on the railway?
Downloading
  • "Budget constraints brought on by a recession in the 1990s resulted in the Mike Harris provincial government forming the Who Does What? committee to" -when was this?
Table
  • Do you intend clearing those red links in the table?

My apologies, I don't believe I received a notice that the GAN had begun. I've made fixes as noted above. - Floydian τ ¢ 19:54, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the ping didn't work! I did check in on this for a few weeks but left it when it seemed the writer wasn't coming back! Thanks for addressing!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:48, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
