Talk:Great Seto Bridge

The name of the bridge
Is this bridge really referred to as the Seto-Ohashi Bridge in English? Doesn't the 大橋 (Ō-hashi) part of 瀬戸大橋 (Seto Ō-hashi) already mean bridge? Hence I would've thought referring to it as the Seto-Ohashi Bridge would be like saying Mt Fujiyama or ATM machine. Stephen Mok 18:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right, it is like saying "ATM Machine" ("Mt Fujiyama" is even weirder, since it's "Fujisan" in Japanese). Not sure whether anyone calls it that or not, but if they do, it's reasonable for the article to make reference to it. The article does use "Great Seto Bridge" as the primary name. adamrice 19:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I was about to make the same comment but since you've already mentioned it I'll go back to sipping my chai tea latte with milk. If nobody can find a ref for this misnomer, let's remove it. J IM ptalk·cont 04:25, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Here a ref for it

Improvements
This is really a beautiful bridge. The views are beautiful when the fog and clouds do not close in. The "Trivia" section should be renamed "Bridge Stats" or something similar. Or maybe moved into a info box. See: Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge The use of a map would be very helpful. By comparing how other bridge articles are done, this article can be improved. This can be a great article. Good start! Please continue to work on it. Enfermero (talk) 20:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Merge
These six named bridges have their own stubby little articles. Each of these articles is a copy-and-paste of each other with the details changed. Why do we need this? Let's just merge them all here. J IM ptalk·cont 05:01, 6 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. That sounds sensible to me. I can't see much scope for expanding any of the individual bridge articles. --DAJF (talk) 05:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Sounds reasonable. They're all parts of one bridge system, and the final article would have a better chance of reaching B-class than all the separate stubs. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:59, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Done. J IM ptalk·cont 00:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

"Scientists" more likely engineers
 Scientists began investigations shortly after

They were more likely to have been engineers: civil, structural and geotechnical engineers. Jono from oz (talk) 08:26, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
