Talk:Murrumbidgee River railway bridge, Wagga Wagga

message: longest timber viaduct?  surely Gundagai lays claim to that?  The timber approach spans are among the longest such timber structures in New South Wales.--Arktos talk 10:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe I misunderstood on what it said? The bridge originally had an extensive series of timber girder approaches, chiefly on the northern side and now replaced. Collectively they form perhaps the largest timber viaduct ever constructed in Australia. (Source: Australian Heritage Database). I love to know if it's fact or not. -- Robertmyers 10:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  viaduct length record 

message: I think the page move was wrong.  There is a rail bridge over the Murrumbidgee at Gundagai to I suspect - also well known and probably deserving of an article at some stage.--Arktos talk 19:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved it back since there is another rare wrought iron lattice truss in Narrandera with the same name (Doesn't have the name of the Narrandera bridge but proves that there is one). -- Robertmyers 21:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Seeing as one editor is demonstrating symptoms of thinking he/she has ownership of the article  and presumably believes it is in perfect shape, when it has some obvious errors, thought the changes that have been rejected should be listed: 
*1) Infobox opening date: expanded from 1881 to 23 January 1881 per 
*2) Infobox closing date: changed from 3 January 2007 to 30 December 2006, not likely to have closed 4 days after demolition started
*3) Infobox carries: expanded from Rail to Main Southern railway line
*4) Remove statement "The bridge is of major importance to the history of bridge engineering in Australia" - needs to explain why
*5) Replace dead cite  with webarchived version 
*6) Category: is categorised as a concrete bridge, incorrect it was a Lattice truss bridge
*7) Tumbarail, expanded to explain what this organisation is, given that is has been redlinked for 8 years
*8) add cite  confirming replacement dates
*9) gallery removed, a series of images of the bridge being demolished adds little value, all are included in link provided to a Commons gallery. Gallery policy point 4 states: "Photographs or media files with no accompanying text. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context, or consider adding it to Wikimedia Commons."
:If the article was of sufficient length to accommodate around the prose then their inclusion would be welcomed. But 8 images that are not materially different is a bit of an overkill.
Probably am wasting my time given the editor's previous history of digging his/her heals in to make a point, even if to the detriment of the project, but thought it should be put on the record. Mo7838 (talk) 13:27, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
