List of longest cantilever bridges was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: October 4, 2007

Contents 1 Story Bridge 2 GA fail 3 rank links 4 Cornwall Bridge, Montreal

[edit] Story Bridge

The Story Bridge, Brisbane, Australia, with a span of 282 metres (meters) should be 11th in this list

I've added the Story Bridge to the list.

[edit] GA fail

I'm quick failing this GA nomination - per WP:WIAGA, lists are not reviewed under the GA system, and should instead be nominated for WP:FL status. Frickative 23:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rank links

The main reason for rank linking (even not to official links and only to wikiarticles) was easy editing, with adding bridge somewhere inside list, rank was recalculated automaticly. With fixed ranking numbers, you must recalculate ranking manually and that is big waste of time (and kind of editor hell). So i am for revert to rank linking (and some edit of list note accordingly). --Jklamo 03:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cornwall Bridge, Montreal

I live in Montreal, and I've never heard of a bridge by that name in that city. Can anyone tell me where that comes from? Would such a bridge span the Lachine Canal? --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 13:04, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

There is an error in location, but not in existece of bridge. Seems that bridge was located in Cornwall, Ontario. Bridge is noted here New York and Ottawa Railway#St. Lawrence River Crossing at Cornwall, here is a postcard. --Jklamo (talk) 14:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Got it. I think I know the exact location of that bridge. I might drive over there to take a picture of it pretty soon. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 21:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
