Moves

I have reverted your bridge moves. WP:COMMONNAME only applies where it is the actual common name of the bridge, not just something you make up in a bunch of random mass moves. Shorter names may be appropriate in some cases, but obviously wasn't in some of these - there is another prominent bridge (probably more so) in Wee Jasper, and there are zero non-Wikipedia hits for "Greigs Flat Bridge". If you're going to do these kinds of moves, you need to actually research what the subjects are known by rather than doing mass moves on a whim.

So the naming convention applied is that decided by a bureaucrat within the NSW Heritage Department. Am I right in thinking that these are just straight copy and pastes from their website? May explain the large amount of errors and outdated information. Oonoon00 (talk) 04:26, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is zero problem with renaming articles - with consensus, and preferably informed by some actual knowledge rather than mass moves at random of articles from all over New South Wales. We are using freely-licensed content from the Office of Heritage and Environment - feel free to correct or add to anything you come across. Thank you for pointing out the duplicate article at Grafton Bridge, by the way. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:34, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
