Section
I'm removing the "Memorialization" section because the site linked does not contain "Very specific information on the 46 victims," just a list of their names. The "very specific information" only seems to be about the people who the author feels have died in connection with the alleged "Mothman" incidents in Point Pleasant. --ndc 00:19, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
The aftermath section refers to 'three other' bridges of the same type, but only lists two. Is it possible the third was the Silver Bridge itself, making it only 'two other'? Ettalynn 05:17, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I assume the third bridge that was referenced would of been, I belive the old 6th Street Bridge in Huntington, WV. It was always called the sister bridge to the Silver Bridge built around the same time. The bridge was demolished sometime around 1995 as I recall.
Disambiguation
This is a good article, but the article's namespace needed to be turned into a disambiguation. RK (talk) 14:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Why? The current title is terrible. "Silver Bridge (bridge)" indeed. This should be Silver Bridge and the disambiguation should be Silver Bridge (disambiguation). Someone's applied a titling rule stupidly and this article has fallen victim to Wikipedia's worst fault - pedantry. Totnesmartin (talk) 20:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- No, the article namespace did not need to be turned into a disambiguation. Look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Silver_Bridge and you will find two things; one, that all but two of the links that point to "Silver Bridge" refer to the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant WV, with the other two possibly ambiguous and referring either to the Silver Bridge or the Silver Memorial Bridge: and two, that all the links to "Silverbridge" refer to Silverbridge, County Armagh. In fact, there are only two articles named Silver Bridge on Wikipedia: Silver Bridge (bridge) and Silver Bridge (firm) with the latter being an orphan; the other pages with "Silver" and "bridge" in their title are clearly distinguishable by simply using their own full name (ie, Silver Memorial Bridge). Additionally, a check at http://stats.grok.se/ finds that Silver Bridge (bridge) is viewed many thousands of times a month, while Silver Bridge (firm) is viewed a few hundred times a month. It is abundantly clear that the term "Silver Bridge", as used on the English Wikipedia, refers to the bridge, while "Silverbridge" refers to Silverbridge, County Armagh. Per the standard at WP:PRIME Silver Bridge will redirect to Silver Bridge (bridge) and Silver Bridge (disambiguation) will be used for disambiguation, while Silverbridge will redirect to Silverbridge, County Armagh, and a hatnote will be placed on that page directing any misguided readers to the dab page.
