TFA?

Have you thought of proposing this article to be a Today's Featured Article? Bob talk 09:39, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

The?

Most books seem to say "the Albert Bridge", but WP articles seem to pointedly avoid the the. Any reason why? Dicklyon (talk) 04:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Having now examined dozens of books (on Google book search), I find none that always drop the the in sentence context. So I'm going to put the into our sentences where it seems appropriate. Dicklyon (talk) 21:34, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

It is just commonly referred to as Albert Bridge. The the is not a title. Simply south...... fighting ovens for just 7 years 09:22, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Making a recording

Hello,

I am thinking of doing a recording for the Albert Bridge page. I am new to the recording scene, so I'd like to ask, does one have to read out the infobox on the side as well? Also, I presume that I do not have to read out the contents and all of the references and footnotes, or is this not the case?

Help much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adrianburbie (talk • contribs) 08:32, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

No idea, but you can probably find the answers at Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia or ask on that project's talk page. I notice someone else has already started a discussion there. Modest Genius ^talk 14:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

What is the other Thames bridge never to be replaced?

It seems like it would make sense to provide a name and a link to the other bridge since it was brought up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.176.47.205 (talk) 19:14, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

The article does state this - it's Tower Bridge. Modest Genius ^talk 20:57, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Dog urine

The rule is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources. The claim that dog urine rotted the boards is referenced to a book by Chris Roberts who is not apparently a structural engineer. There is a film about the refurbishment of the bridge here. No mention of dog piss at all. Are there any other sources? Mr Stephen (talk) 19:26, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Albert Bridge is a road bridge over the River Thames in West London, connecting Chelsea on the north bank to Battersea on the south. Designed and built by Rowland Mason Ordish in 1873, it initially operated as a toll bridge but was commercially unsuccessful; the tolls were lifted after six years. The roadway is only 27 feet (8.2 m) wide and the bridge has serious structural weaknesses; it has been reinforced several times but never replaced, despite calls for closure or pedestrianisation.Photograph: David Iliff

You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-03-14.

Picture of the day

Albert Bridge is a road bridge over the River Thames in West London, connecting Chelsea to Battersea. Designed in 1873 as a cable-stayed bridge, it proved structurally unsound, and thus between 1884 and 1887 some design elements of a suspension bridge were incorporated. In 1973 two concrete piers were added, transforming the central span into a simple beam bridge. It remains one of only two Thames road bridges in central London never to have been replaced, and features the only surviving examples of bridge tollbooths in London.Photograph: David Iliff

Update tag

Hey folks, I've tagged this with {{update}} after finding a few out of date sentences in the article, and seeing no post-2011 information. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 02:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Please be specific. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:56, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm surprised to see you taking an anti-quality stance, TRM! The article needs to be audited for quality. I found a sentence that was wildly out of date, and now I'm wondering if the bridge is it still the second-lowest-trafficked bridge. Or how much traffic it's getting today. Was the renovation successful at halting any deterioration? Etc etc. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 13:42, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

I think you missed the point entirely. You just said "a few out of date sentences", how is anyone to action that? Be specific, it helps those of us who are committed to maintaining the integrity of articles here on Wikipedia. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:25, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Cool, but you can ask the question here and ping me without assuming bad faith + reverting. (Also, I hope I'm wrong in seeing an implicit "which you aren't" in your last sentence. {He said, recognizing the irony in calling out assumed bad faith in one sentence before assuming it in the next.]) Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 23:09, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

I did ask the question here, see above, and you didn't respond. That's enough, I'm getting back to making Wikipedia a better place for our readers. Goodbye. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:58, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
