Lion tongue story
editAnyone have a source for the tale of the sculptor who jumped into the river? It's a funny story, but might just as well have been made up by a vandal. Fireinacrowdedtheatre (talk) 10:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
The story definitely exist – and is not a vandal-fiction ;) – as a popular anecdote. According to urbanlegends.hu, it's an urban legend with countless sources. Bennó (talk) 21:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Lion issue
editCORRECTION! The Lutyens link leads to Sir Edwin Lutyens (not born till 1869) who was named after Edwin Landseer, the sculptor of the Trafalgar Square lions installed in 1858. If the Budapest lions are of 1852, then designed by whom? Budapest expert please check - moved from article, posted there by 81.152.51.35 - Denimadept (talk) 18:35, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
war damage and repair
editIs there any info on what parts were damaged in WW2 and subsequently repaired or rebuilt? A picture of the damaged bridge would be very helpful. ( Siege_of_Budapest says it was destroyed/blown-up by the Germans on 18 Jan 1945.) - Rod57 (talk) 13:07, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Chain Bridge (Budapest) → Széchenyi Chain Bridge – The official name of the bridge is Széchenyi lánchíd (Széchenyi Chain Bridge) since 1899. See here and here. Puskás Zoli (talk) 01:15, 1 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 02:15, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Support. Very commonly used name and avoids the need for disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:31, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Andrewa (talk) 02:15, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Support. Name with disambiguation is unlikely to be commonly recognizable and Széchenyi Chain Bridge is also widely used.--Jklamo (talk) 14:50, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
