Talk:Big Four Bridge/Archive 1

New image
I have another picture of this bridge we could use. It was taken from beneath the Kennedy Bridge on the Indiana side.--Bedford 21:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I substituted in the new image. How does it look?  Stevie is the man!  Talk &bull; Work 22:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Fire sale
Jahnx, do you think we can expand this 5x, so we can get a DYK for it? I took a bunch of pictures today of it, including video.-- Bedford 22:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The pictures have been uploaded: Category:Images of the Big Four Bridge.-- Bedford 23:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * It's been expanded quite a bit, but I don't think will earn a DYK out of it. The Fire section needs work, I'm not sure I would have to search and I don't have the time but I think Louisville doesn't have a fire boat and that the boat that couldn't reach the flames was the Coast Guard. There is some information there that honestly doesn't really pertain to the incident in regards to the city purchasing another fire boat. Next the section also seems repetative. This article sure exploded after this event, There have been two more fires since the 1970's which you may have to search for records of that offline in an old newspaper. So adding coverage of all four fires would be essential to that sections growth. - Jahnx ( talk ) 01:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * It was after I posted the above message that I added to the article. It's been increased 4.7x, which is probably close enough to 5x for the DYK.  It was a Louisville fireboat that was too small to reach it, as it was an interview with the Louisville fire chief on WAVE 3 who said it about the boat.  Still probably need to decide which fire pictures are betetr than others.-- Bedford  01:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I like Image:Big 4 Fire V.jpg and Image:Big 4 Fire VI.jpg for fire pics, leaving the 1975 picture of the bridge in the history section would be my preference. - Jahnx ( talk ) 02:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm done for today but I will search for more informaiton regarding the 1987 fire and hopefully we can seperate the information on the two fires into two sub categories. - Jahnx ( talk ) 02:22, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

You know, this is close to being GA. I haven't gotten a GA yet, and I don't think you have either, so we are close.-- Bedford  02:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Gallery
I'm not sure the additional photos at the bottom add anything to the article, they look very similar to each other and most are near-duplicates of photos earlier in the article. Paulbrock (talk) 03:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I put all I had up so we could decide which ones should remain; I never intended for all to stay. I agree, that does look bad to have so many.  Anyone have particular ones they think should be removed?-- Bedford  Pray  03:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Fires
I think this section needs a bit of tweaking - either it's predominantly about the 2008 Fire, in which case the section heading should be changed, or it's discussing fires in general, in which case the 2008 Fire should not have undue weight; my opinion is that the section suffers from recentism and there is far too much detail on e.g. how the fire was put out. Paulbrock (talk) 03:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I tried to fix the recentism you saw; how does it look now?-- Bedford Pray  04:51, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Kennedy Interchange
The blurb about the interchange seems misplaced since it is in a section that seems to be about much earlier events. Perhaps it needs moving but I wasn't clear on where exactly. ++Lar: t/c 11:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Largest pedestrian-only bridge?
Somebody added a todo for the main Louisville article saying that this bridge, if complete, would be the largest pedestrian-only bridge, but I'm not sure if they meant in the U.S. or the world. Does anyone have any information about this they could add to the article? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 16:19, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not going be completed any time soon so it's a moot point. This thing's been "coming soon" since 1989... even in boom years it couldn't get funding. --Movingday29 (talk) 23:39, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
