Talk:Intercontinental and transoceanic fixed links

message: I have reorganized and slightly rewritten this article for NPOV.  For example, I placed the "Opposition" section at the end of the article rather than first.  Similarly, I renamed the major section header in the article from "Technical Difficulties" to "Major Components."  
If you (understandably) disagree with the idea for these bridges and tunnels, then please cite to sources for it rather than making POV edits.  Bry9000 (talk) 17:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Is this significant at all, or is it just an ad for someone's website? - Montréalais 18:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have the question, should this article describe the proposal by Frank X. Didik, or should it describe the general idea to build road connections over major sea straits. An article should not descibe someone's proposal unless it is very significant, so therefore it should describe the general idea, and list some missing links, also those not included by Frank X. Didik. --BIL (talk) 08:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Significance

message: Only one of the cited sources is actually about the "trans global highway", and that was written by Didik himself. A brief google reveals:
*A website written by Didik, which ignores some of the many practical problems, and addresses the remainder with fantasy solutions;
*A press release by Didik;
*Mirrors of this wikipedia article;
*A blog which indiscriminately collects various speculative future stuff, called "Near impossible solutions";
*Lots of forum chatter &c, which all appears to be based on this wikipedia article or on the bulletpoints above
I realise that a lot of people like to speculatively draw lines on maps, but wikipedia is not the place for it. I think this article fails WP:N. Any thoughts? bobrayner (talk) 14:01, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Is this even notable?

message: Some ideas for improving this article:
* Add the Denmark/Sweden bridge and the Finland/Estonia tunnel
* Add the Strait of Messina Bridge and Strait of Sicily Tunnel
* Add the Constantinople tunnel
* Change the order to Europe then Europe to Africa then Africa to Asia then Asia to Japan then Bering straits then Darien
*Consider adding the big ocean crossing links in North America - the Bay area, DELMARVA, New York City, Long Island Northwards, USA to Canada across the Detroit River and Niagara, Canada to Vancouver Island and Newfoundland, Florida to Cuba to Dominica to San Juan, Baja California to Mexico.
If this page survives the deletion process then I can have a look at this. filceolaire (talk) 13:54, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Many of the proposed and existing links are train only. Possible titles:
;Fixed Links across the oceans
;InterContinental fixed links
Make it a 'list' article - Opening sentence: 'A list of existing and proposed rail and road links between continents and across maritime barriers." filceolaire (talk) 23:29, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. "Trans Global Highway" is now just one section. filceolaire (talk) 14:16, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  The North Sea 

message: The Crimean Bridge has been the longest bridge within the European continent, since its construction ended, connecting southern European Russia to Crimea, however in this article the bridge can be seen in the Europe to Asia section, as well as the Europe section? How can a bridge appear in two sections? A reader would not even understand which continent the bridge falls in after reading the article. And in the Europe to Asia section, it is written that the bridge "is the longest in Russia and Europe"? Makes a ton of sense to me, and if you go to the article of the Crimean Bridge it says that it is the longest bridge in Europe, without a sentence of it being a connector between Europe and Asia. 
And oh, if you go to the article of the Vasco da Gama Bridge, there it says that the bridge is the "second-longest in all of Europe after the Crimean Bridge." Isn't the Crimean Bridge a connector between Europe and Asia according to this article? And shouldn't the Vasco da Gama Bridge be the longest bridge in Europe then?

replies: text: Wikipedia articles are not an reliable source. WP:GD: "Wikipedia cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here". You say that the articles do not contain all the information. You can add information to articles about Crimean and Vasco da Gama bridges.--Germash19 (talk) 09:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
