When closed?

Nowhere does it say when the aqueduct was taken out of service -- anybody know? —Steve Summit (talk) 13:52, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It closed in 1955, and then the northernmost part was reopened in 1987 to service Ossining. I've added this to the article. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:36, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment breaks WP:MOS

This is what Wikipedia:Manual of Style says about hidden comments: "Check that your invisible comment does not change the formatting, for example by introducing white space in read mode." --91.10.58.188 (talk) 01:18, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The MOS is a GUIDELINE, not a policy, and the hidden comment separates the navbox from external links, helping to keep the page more visual appealing. Your objection has been brought to the attention of the community numerous times, and has been rejected each time as being trivial.

Now, while MOS is a guideline, WP:SOCKPUPPETRY is a POLICY, and it is against that policy for editors with an account to edit with an IP in order to avoid scrutiny of their edits. I suggest you don't do this again, and return to editing ONLY with your account - and drop your squalid little campaign against making pages easier for our readers to take in. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:09, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The MOS explicitly forbids exactly what you are doing. So far, the only reason you can give is "aesthetic choice". You should know that this is not a valid argument.

Stop making personal attacks. Don't ponder the issue, just stop right now. --91.10.58.188 (talk) 02:27, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
