We seem to be abusing the concept of templates here. Nelson Ricardo 11:51, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

The idea is that when the MTA changes services again, only a few templates need to be changed and everything will update across the board. --SPUI 18:14, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

A quibble about this bit:

On the Brooklyn side, the four tracks merge in a flying junction to create a four-track subway, which quickly merges with the two-track BMT Fourth Avenue Line

The quibble is referring to the section between DeKalb to and/or through the Montague tunnel as part of the 4th Av line. As I recall (perhaps wrongly)', historically the Montague tunnel serviced the Brighton Line before the 4th Av line was ever built. Unless there is a formal name for this stretch, I would avoid the problem and emend this to read ". . . which quickly merges with the two BMT tracks coming from the Montague Street tunnel". I'm the one who did the article on the 4th Av line. See my article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMT_Fourth_Avenue_Line --FourthAve 9 July 2005 04:02 (UTC)

The MTA includes the subway between DeKalb and the Montague Street Tunnel as part of the Fourth Avenue Line. User:SPUI/New York City Subway lines is a table I made of the MTA's designations, found on their funding plans. Lawrence Street is indicated as a station on 4AV. --SPUI (talk) 9 July 2005 10:49 (UTC)

the manhatttan bridge carries pedestrians! I thought the brooklyn bridge only does that?

[edit] Deflection cables?

What part of the bridge is this - should this be suspension cables? Leonard G. 05:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Manhattan Bridge

The Manhattan Bridge is phonamanal

[edit] I-478

Does this article really need the extensive discussion of various possible routes of I-478? For the most part, the discussion doesn't have anything to do with the Manhattan Bridge.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ManhattanBridgeLeone.jpg

Image:ManhattanBridgeLeone.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] The bridge in films

As I am not a New Yorker i wasn't 100% sure but i seem to remeber this bridge being featured in The Godfather Part 1, when Michael Corleone is driven top the meeting with Solazzo and the Police Chief.

If i'm right then add it in!
