History log

[edit]

I notice that the long history log of the article has disappeared. I wonder was it accidentally or intensionally. Can someone help out? CeeGee 20:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An IP did a copy-paste move of the page. I've fixed it now. Миша13 15:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pedestrians

[edit]

Transportation says:

No pedestrians [...] are allowed to use the bridge today.

Then, Other Uses says:

Visitors to Istanbul in October can sign up for the 'fun run' at many points round the city and take the opportunity to cross the bridge by foot.

So, which is it? Are they allowed? Are they only allowed in October? If they exist, the Transportation section should indicate exceptions instead of a possibly false/overly broad statement. -Ayeroxor (talk) 04:30, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BOTEK

[edit]

BOTEK were established in 1975 and thus could not participate in the first, but only in the second bridge (as per their website). --AHert (talk) 16:55, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

English Name of the Bridge

[edit]

"Bogazici" is the "name" of the bridge. It shouldn't be translated. The title should be changed to "Boğaziçi Bridge" or "Bogazici Bridge". Bogazici is a proper noun.--176.219.135.111 (talk) 16:10, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bosphorus Bridge

[edit]

The Bridge is known as Bosphorus Bridge in English speaking world. --Kirov Airship (talk) 21:55, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

True, Sixth Avenue in New York is officially called Avenue of the Americas, yet most people and Wikipedia use the COMMON NAME, I think we shouldn't rename pages like this so hastily. --Killuminator (talk) 00:38, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm correcting to the common name. --Kirov Airship (talk) 14:03, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 26 July 2016

[edit]

July 15th Martyrs Bridge → Bosphorus Bridge – Bosphorus Bridge is the common name of this bridge in English language. Not only is known as Bosphorus Bridge among foreigners but also is known as Bosphorus Bridge among Turkish speaking community. Kirov Airship (talk) 21:55, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 25 April 2018

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no clear consensus for the new title 15 July Martyrs Bridge, so reverting to the stable title, Bosphorus Bridge, per the discussion below. The ability to revert the first move away from this title was blocked by an unnecessary edit to the redirect, which should not have taken place; this should likely have been reverted earlier as a request to revert an undiscussed move per WP:RMTR. In either event, please initiate a new move request if you are interested in altering the stable title of this page. Dekimasuよ! 20:38, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]


15 July Martyrs Bridge → Bosphorus Bridge – As per WP:Common names, the title of the article should remain Bosphorus Bridge, as that is how the bridge is known in the English speaking world. Even within Turkey, it is still called Boğaziçi Köprüsü (Bosphorus Bridge). The name change is not justified and should be moved back, since it was done without notifying the talk page on a controversial move. Central Data Bank (talk) 20:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

How Does The Bosphorus Bridge Have Eight Lanes if Only Six Are Visible?

[edit]

The article says the Bosphorus Bridge highway is eight lanes wide, with three standard lanes, one emergency lane, and one pedestrian lane serving each direction.

Judging by photos and aerial imagery, I can only see six lanes total (three in each direction), plus the pedestrian lane. The article for the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge also makes a similar mention of emergency lanes in addition to the four regular traffic lanes in each direction that one has. There is no indication given of the existence of any emergency lanes on either the first or second Bosphorus Bridges. Also, their Turkish counterpart articles don't make any mention of such emergency lanes. Anyone care to clarify what this "emergency lane" on these bridges is?
