Copy edit

@Mvcg66b3r: I've noticed that you've made a lot of reverts to copy edits of this article. I'm going ahead and providing the reasons for my edits here:

  • Infobox
    • The infobox was large and crowded with information, extending past the lead and TOC and well into the first section of the article. MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE notes that the purpose of an infobox: to summarize key facts that appear in the article [...] The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. I trimmed a lot of extraneous information, particularly information that did not fit an infobox parameter or which was unsourced.
    • I stripped bold per MOS:BOLD
    • I stripped specialized styling on the expanded call sign per MOS:ACRO
    • I removed tiny font sizes in infoboxes, due to accessibility issues. (A recent RfC decided that since infoboxes already use small text, that further reducing text size was not to be recommended.)
    • All of the above style issues are really just attempts to cram more information into the infobox, which is counter to MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE.
    • Replaced html line breaks with templates, as the former has been known to cause problems with some mobile platforms.
  • Other MOS fixes: MOS:GEOCOMMA, MOS:BOLD
  • Various grammar fixes
  • Lists should be bulleted rather than numbered when they do not have an inherent order (MOS:LISTBULLET)
  • Removed excessively detailed unsourced trivia. Articles should be a summary of notable information about the subject.
