How to rewrite this article

edit

We need to separate the history from the rest of the article, as much of this content is historical in nature. Based on the current information in the article, I would propose the following sections:

  • Lead section - the usual introduction, being very brief.
  • Overview - an overview of the junction's layout and its current usage.
  • Early history - from its construction to prior to grade separation.
  • Grade separation - the various milestones pertaining to this project.
  • Miscellaneous - other facts and figures not previously mentioned.

A see also section might also be beneficial.

The resulting reorganization will also allow us to add more references and possibly a couple of images to illustrate the diamond, past and present. Along with further expansion of the content, I can imagine that we can eventually bring this poorly organized article up to good and possibly featured article quality. So, why wait?

Just do it! Register yourself with a user name, so that other interested people can communicate with you, and get started. Secondarywaltz (talk) 22:33, 22 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I fail to see how a single rail interchange is notable to have its own Wikipedia article. Furthermore, most of the content that does exist in this article is detailed to the point that anyone looking for it should be referring to the project's website, not an encyclopedia article. I recommend that the article be massively cut down and merged into either the Kitchener line or CN Weston Subdivision articles. Reaperexpress (talk) 14:32, 23 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

To the contrary. This should be expanded to include more historic information about the stations mentioned, since it is not about one line or subdivision. There is no need to merge articles into omnibus editions, except that this could be the article about those old stations, with redirects pointing here.
