Alternative name[edit]

@SnowFire: In my opinion, it would be reasonable to still mention the name "Savannah Bridge" as a name that's also signposted, even if it isn't in common use. That said, if the signs have been taken down, then we can move the mention further down the article. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 01:16, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Original research in comparison of Ravenel/Talmadge/Lanier bridges[edit]

Is there any source for a rivalry among Charleston, Brunswick and Savannah over the height and dimensions of their large bridges? Those sections (Talmadge Memorial Bridge#Comparison with Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and the Sidney Lanier Bridge; Sidney Lanier Bridge#Comparison with two other bridges; Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge#Comparison with Talmadge Memorial Bridge and Sidney Lanier Bridge) seem to be nothing but original research and should be removed if there's no RS indicating these articles need sections comparing them with these specific bridges.

I say nuke it. It's been unsourced for ages but I figured maybe bridge nerds knew more, but checking, one of the editors who expanded this back in 2013 doesn't appear to be super-trustworthy (was removing warnings on their talk page as from "sensative liberals" (sic)).

Per comment from @SnowFire and lack of other contributions I will delete the sections on each article. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
