Talk:Crossing pylon

Merge
Quite frankly... why have two separate, short articles for two parts of a whole? An overhead power line crossing is supported by main span towers (crossing pylons lawl), yes. However, an overhead power line crossing also requires tension towers to soften the forces on the main span towers. There really needn't be an unsourced article about this particular function of tower here, as the tension towers and main span all work together. Additionally, both of these articles had long lists of spans in them, while there already is an article named "List of spans". No sourced information and long lists kind of don't make having them alone necessary. Though, at least this term is actually used colloquially (at Structurae... which most of these articles are cut-and-paste from). So I wouldn't say delete, just merge. Seriously, though... coverage of utilities infrastructure on Wikipedia needs an overhaul badly. &mdash;Onore Baka Sama(speak 02:43, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
