I've done a copy edit. One thing I wonder about is "at least two" in the sentence about the deaths: is there reason to believe more than two people have died? If not, just state "two". The other concern is the bio external link, which is about the politician, not the bridge. I would recommend that it be removed, as it is out of scope. Also, there is mentioned a daily traffic of 7,000 in the infobox, but this is not in the prose, nor is it referenced. I am placing the article on hold. Arsenikk (talk) 21:43, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, not from the news article. I will change the wording to "two". MathewTownsend (talk) 22:17, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- I have removed the bio reference to the politician and replaced it with a bridge write up regarding the naming.
- As far as daily traffic, the bridge has been closed since 2010. I've not come across any references that mention the number of vehicles crossing the bridge daily before the bridge was closed, and I've looked around for articles. Can't that be removed, since the bridge is closed and is being torn down? MathewTownsend (talk) 22:36, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- A traffic count comes from Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge Former US-82 Mississippi River Crossing At Greenville Is that ok? (I thought maybe that site would be considered a "hobbyist" site and not reliable so I haven't been using it. But maybe it is for this?) MathewTownsend (talk) 22:42, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- It seems to me that the page is a fan page and not a reliable source. Because of all the images it is a great external link, but I don't think it is suitable for a reference. The number should be removed. I tried a search for traffic date on the bridge, but I couldn't find anything. But I would be surprised if the number isn't pit there somewhere.

- Probably somewhere. But there is surprisingly little on this bridge available, perhaps because it was decided in 1994 to tear it down. I'll remove the number. MathewTownsend (talk) 23:27, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
