Updated based on the review.

Also change the page's `from datetime import datetime, timedelta, time` to `import datetime` and offsets are called like `pd.offsets.*` instead of them getting start imported from the top.

lgtm.
over to you @jorisvandenbossche 
@jorisvandenbossche any additional comments?
@jorisvandenbossche 
@jorisvandenbossche do you mind checking if your comments have been addressed and this can be merged? We're making other changes to `timeseries.rst` and would be nice to avoid conflicts as much as possible.
I'll push this in tomorrow if there are no other comments. I can always follow up after merging this PR.
thanks @mroeschke
