Overall looks really good. Just a couple of minor things:

  • This sentence doesn't really flow: "Originally operating out of the Mother Clara Hale Depot, then the Manhattanville Depot, and finally the 126th Street Depot, all located in Upper Manhattan, since January 2015 the M60 operates out of the Michael J. Quill Depot in Midtown." Perhaps splitting into two sentences would help.

 Done

  • For the table listing all the stops, I think it would help if the notes at the bottom turn into footnotes with links to the appropriate places. (Take a look at the Notes section in this article.
  • Reference #2 needs to be formatted properly with as much info as possible (title, access date, etc).

 Done

  • Ideally, reference #5 should be replaced with something better than Google Maps. This is really just my opinion and is fine to leave in the article; but I think having an article or something that explicitly states the route distance would be nice.
  • References dates and access dates should follow the same date format. Some use YYYY-MM-DD while others use "Month Day, Year".

 Done

  • Just a note for future reference. If the information stated in the lead is repeated elsewhere in the article, it is not required to include references in the lead (this just helps reduce the number of reference links). Again, this is just a note for future reference.

@Kew Gardens 613: Thanks for addressing some of the issues. I also just noticed I missed one minor detail. Ref 6 provides more recent data than 2014.--Dom497 (talk) 00:45, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Done
@Kew Gardens 613 and Epicgenius: If nothing can be found regarding a replacement for the Google Maps source, just send me a ping and I will pass this nomination. I trust that you will attempt find a replacement under good-faith.--Dom497 (talk) 01:58, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
