337:. The notes system you are using in the existing article doesn't make a truly clear visual distinction between a note and a citation. One has brackets, and the other does not, but at first glance they look quite similar. If you switch from a column of notes to a "Notes" section, you'll have a lot more notes, and it would be nice to instantly see which link led to a note and which to a reference entry.
272:"Width" is something I did not see in any other articles. I assume that is because the sourcing is not available. I considered other columns (like height above the waterway or total of any towers) but again did not see it anywhere else and don;t think the sourcing is available. What do you mean by "span"?

I used to regard linking something like Lake
Washington or Bascule more than once in a table column was overlinking until another editor pointed out to me that in a sortable column it was not always convenient for readers to hunt for the box with the linked term. Since then I have been linking terms

Is the list complete? The title indicates that this is a list of all kinds of bridges in
Seattle. Are there any pedestrian-only bridges in the city? Bicycle-only? In big cities, there are often bridges for foot- and bicycle traffic that span highways that are otherwise difficult to cross except in a

I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to get it to FL. I am not very familiar with the best formatting for lists and based it on some of the better bridge lists. I know there are a couple gaps (the length of the West
Seattle Bridge is blanked and a couple other lengths do not
594:. If you don't like latin alphabet letters, there are default groups, "lower-greek" for lowercase greek alphabet letters or "lower-roman" for lowercase roman numerals (i ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii...). Otherwise, the system you're using now is confusing. (Is that superscript a note or a reference?)

English Knowledge but not on the Commons should be moved to the Commons to make them more widely available. I didn't check all of the images, and this one was the only one I noticed on a spot check. The others I checked were already on the Commons.
312:
Would it be useful to include a column listing what kind of traffic the bridge carries; i.e., highway, street, rail, light-rail, pedestrian, bicycle? In the case of streets and highways, would it be useful to include their names and numbers?
342:
I would think about using degrees, minutes, seconds instead of decimal coordinates because I think readers are more familiar with the former. However, coordinates appear in both forms in
Knowledge articles, so it may be a matter of editor's
588:, and I find that it helps to separate the explanatory and citation footnotes both visually in the text of the article as well as into the two lists. You can even insert a reference into an explanatory footnote using the workaround

To make room for new columns, it would be possible to put the notes in a "Notes" section below the table rather than in the table itself. You might be interested in a "Notes and
References" system like the one used in

It is but it is under its "official" name. Should I add common names to the first column (like "Jeanette
Williams Memorial Bridge/West Seattle Bridge)? Currently, common names are in the "Notes" column.

Based on the comments above, I have restructured the table. I am also in the process of adding more bridges that appear to be notable eve though they do not have articles yet.

Should bridges that have been demolished or replaced be included in the table? The article title does not suggest that this is a list of contemporary bridges only.
