@P199: This place is a dark-sky preserve, not a dark-sky reserve (see refs 4 through 6, with ref 1 being the only one that disagrees). The summary of your revert is unrelated as page eight is talking about nature reserves. Anarchyte (work | talk) 04:19, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Anarchyte: Ref 1 is the only source from the official governing body (MNR) which I therefore consider more authoritative. The 8th page in the PDF (numbered as page 4) shows that the the full name is "Torrance Barrens Conservation Reserve (Dark Sky Reserve)". Anyway, this is splitting hairs. I'll accept either way. Thanks for taking an interest in this article. Regards, -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:02, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
