Talk:Chesapeake Bay Bridge

message: Given this article's status as a B-class article I'd like to see if we can improve it further.  If we can get enough people on this task hopefully it can reach GA or even FA status.  I added a to do list, so if you see anything on there that can be done do it, and if you can think of anything else that can be added/improved add it to the list or do it yourself.-Jeff (talk) 04:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: if you buy a book of "everyday" passes in advance, they are cheaper than the full price fare. It is 12 for 25 dollars. WillC 12:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bridge Fare 

message: It looks like the Bay Bridge now has an official logo, I noticed it while looking at baybridge.com.  The front page there includes the logo for the 2007 Bay Bridge walk, and it also includes a link to a PDF file about private driveovers.  Although the PDF file is on a topic unrelated to the bridge walk, it includes a very similar logo.  I just thought I'd bring this to this article's editors' attention.  I also think we should hold off on including the logo in this article for now, since it seems the logo has gone through a few different iterations.   I'm guessing a more final version will be included on the redesigned site when it launches later this spring.-Jeff (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: To help meet the "broad in coverage" GA standard, I'm using this section to contain some important facts related to the bridge that belong in the article, but don't have citations and/or don't currently fit into the article.  Feel free to add some more.-Jeff (talk) 16:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional info 

message: Since I made two typos in my edit summary, I should clarify here.  The bridge is operated by the Maryland Transportation Authority, which is abbreviated MdTA.  MTA is the abbreviation for the unrelated Maryland Transit Administration.-Jeff (talk) 22:23, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The May 10, 2007 incident was a 7 car crash that killed 3 people on the bridge. I'd say thats worth putting on here right? --Akemi Loli Mokoto (talk) 16:52, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: no, i wouldn't. it opens the door to including literally tens of thousands of equally significant auto accidents over the course of history. a case could probably be made for who knows how many just on this bridge.Toyokuni3 (talk) 17:22, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

text: It's already mentioned in the "Notable Incidents" section.-Jeff (talk) 23:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Bridge crashes happen all the time, so I think an individual event would really have to mean something to warrant its inclusion, as Wikipedia's not meant to be a collection of news stories; they have to be notable.  I believe an individual crash is only worth mentioning if the incident led to something happening to the evolution of the bridge.  By that, I mean:  does this incident lead to a change in safety features on the bridge, cause the authority to replace the bridge, or impose major restrictions on the bridge?  Etc., things like that.  —Onore Baka Sama(speak | stalk) 13:39, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incident to add 

message: Rated it High-importance as the criteria for High include "bridges that cross a major waterway that carries a major (rail)road".  The Chesapeake Bay itself is pretty well-known, and US 50 is a pretty important highway in the state, so... Yeah.  *nod*  —Onore Baka Sama(speak | stalk) 13:11, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
