Talk:Bridgewater Bridge (Tasmania)

earlier comments

Shouldn't there be a tag about this article partly describing a current event, due to the temporary bridge closure?

There seems to be some conflicting information between 144.131.44.139 and 58.164.217.47. It would probably be a good idea to see some more references on the page so we don't end up with information that is just wrong. --Nsmith 84 23:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to have to add a tag saying that this information may not be reliable until we can get some references for some of these dates. --Nsmith 84 01:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Evad37 — SatuSuro — Nbound — Chuq: I am of the belief that there is sound notability and ample sources to cite. However, as the proposed bridge is unnamed, I have no idea what to call said "future bridge" article. I even had a look here for inspiration but unfortunately have come up empty handed. Any advice my fellow Wikipedians can offer would be appreciated. Wiki ian 01:52, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Bridgewater replacement bridge - is the safest, if they ever get beyond saying they are going to do it - they might even try a new name... until that time, Bridgewater replacement bridge is my suggestion. satusuro 02:02, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

So you're suggesting I don't bother with a new article and place all relevant information on the proposed bridge on the existing article? Wiki ian 02:23, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

I've had a look here for inspiration - Category:Proposed bridges - but there doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency. Maybe New Bridgewater Bridge? What was the Tasman Bridge called before it was built? Might check Trove... --- Chuq (talk) 09:13, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Mercury coverage ends in 1954 :( http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?l-usertag=tasman+bridge&q=+ -- Chuq (talk) 11:52, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

@Chuq: After browsing the sub categories of proposed bridges, I've only managed to come up with two other possibilities; Bridgewater Bridge replacement and Proposed River Derwent crossing. And in all honesty, I think your suggested article name; New Bridgewater Bridge is a far better candidate. I shall hold off on the creation of the article in the hope that others support your suggestion or add their views on the naming of the new article. Thankyou kindly :-) Wiki ian 12:38, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
