Spell out kilometers per hour!?!? If you think there might be some confusion, just make it a link. —wwoods 07:02, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
The article states just that the toll is high. Can someone find out the actual toll amount? I'm just curious... Chris Dolan 19:32, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

ρ 00:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)this article says the total bridge length and that its the longest suspension bridge in the world. my point is that when I look at the "great belt fixed link" article, it says the great belt is the second longest in the world but it says, if you look at the numbers, that the great belt is the longest and the akashi-kaikyo is the second longest--- please check facts! im doing a report on the Great Belt Fixed Link and I need the information!

A map is needed for this article to locate it geographically. Bobo12345 05:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Before we revert each other any further lets talk this out a bit. First to answer your question, no I don't have a citation that says its regularly used and meets its forecasts. Nor do I need such a citation, as I am not claiming such a thing or changing the article to make such a claim. As the article stands, it makes a statement about the bridge being unpopular with drivers due to the cost of the toll. This statement is an opinion or even mere speculation unless it is quantified by a specific citation. VerruckteDan 04:33, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
One main purpose of the "Citation Needed" template is to handle situations when one editor knows something is a fact, and another questions it. The fact that someone adds the citation is usually justification enough for it to remain. I can easily verify where the bridge is located. I can't easily verify how much it is being used. So it seems pointless to tag the fact that it crosses the Akashi Straight, and I doubt anyone would seriously tag that fact. So leave the tag, or find a citation. This really shouldn't be a big deal. The tag is there so we don't repeatedly have to have conversations like this one on talk pages. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 06:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
If something is well know then it will have appeared in a newspaper or magazine article, possibly triggered by a letter to the editor. An alternative source is a formal request for a subsidy. Andrew Swallow 02:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
What kind of traffic is allowed on the road? -- JensMueller ( talk) 22:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
"Akashi" is the name of the strait between Honshu and Awaji. "Kaikyo" simply means "strait". Thus, "Akashi Kaikyo" is "Akashi Strait". The name is definitely not connecting endpoints of Akashi and Kaikyo.
The English convention, the bridge name is multi-word but refers to a single geographical feature, then there is no hyphen, for example, "Golden Gate Bridge", "Tacoma Narrows Bridge", "Chesapeake Bay Bridge". If the bridge name is the name of its two endpoints, then there is a hyphen, for example: Astoria-Megler Bridge, Rosario-Victoria Bridge. For more example, see List of bridges by length. 146.115.34.7 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 07:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Someone should edit the article and mention that the bridge design was based on the curvature of the earth. 67.206.184.202 ( talk) 20:54, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello all!
This article has been chosen as this week's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborate effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to seven days, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.
