I do not think that this article needs to include bridges that have a vertical clearance underneath for standard ocean-going vessels. I do not see the world-wide notability in that. I think the list should stop at about 1.5 times the clearance needed for a ship to go underneath. I suggest about 75 meters (250 feet) as the stopping point for the list based on clearance underneath. - SCgatorFan ( talk) 13:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
I've removed all below 175m as the list was getting quite long and the accuracy of the list gets worse as the height get less. ShakyIsles ( talk) 07:57, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Please note that this is a List of tallest bridges in the world. i.e. their structural height. There is a seperate List of highest bridges in the world which measures the height above the ground. ShakyIsles ( talk) 18:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Where does the new 'Hoover Dam(bypass)Bridge' rate in this list ? I do believe it is taller then the Millau Bridge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.79.140 ( talk) 19:03, 9 January 2012 (UTC) I am thinking that this topic may warrant two lists within the article: (1) highest and (2) tallest. Because of the fame of the Millau Bridge, many readers will come to this article looking for the bridge that has the tallest piers. When the Millau Bridge opened, there was much mis-reporting by the media that this bridge was the highest in the world—completely forgetting the Royal Gorge Bridge.
So would it hurt for this article to have two short lists (say the top twenty five of each). I am of the opinion that the article should be simple and clear to the reader. Expecting them to sort and re-rank the list may be confusing to the average reader.
Lists like this should be especially simple and clear as there will be many primary/elementary students using the information. - SCgatorFan ( talk) 13:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
A new article has been started, List of highest bridges in the world. This duplicates the first half of this article, bridges with large clearance. I think that section should be deleted from this article. - ¢Spender1983 ( talk) 23:05, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
The Bloukrans Bridge bridge in South Africa is missing off this list. -- Firefishy ( talk) 14:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
The Mike O'Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge has a clearance of 270m. but it most certainty does not have a structural height of 270m, the base of the arch / piers are half way up the gorge. I recommend this is moved down the list from number 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.202.180 ( talk) 18:52, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Isn't the newly inaugurated Baluarte bridge in Mexico the tallest bridge now with 403m?

– As per other pages starting "List of the tallest ...". As per grammar example "Everest is the highest mountain in the world." As per Ngrams for "height of the tallest,height of tallest". As perhaps is appropriate to the topic area, the list is tall. Greg Kaye 13:09, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

European jury announces list of best consumer electronic products for 2010-2011"
Let's take an cursory peek at how many articles do not conform via a quick search of Wikipedia:
I haven't bothered to pull up anything that could possibly be understood to be representative of being the tip of the iceberg, nor does it even begin to represent the extent of "List of" convolutions which should be applied if we were to be serious about addressing the inconsistencies, and am merely trying to demonstrate the sheer scale of changes to be made. Again, in theory it's fine to apply grammatically correct practices; in reality such lipservice is futile and disruptive. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 00:43, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
[[headlinese|title-style syntax]]" WP:Wikipedia is not a newspaper. We are an encyclopedia. While I can see a potential validity, at a stretch, with titles such as List of most-produced rotorcraft I personally see no linguistic justification for having a title presentation other than List of the smallest cities in the United Kingdom. Your "
Oppose The proposed changes are based on semantics ..." in, another context, could have read "
Support The proposed changes are based on semantics ...". As mentioned elsewhere students would be downgraded for presentation of the mentioned contents that we it seems habitually present. Why would this "
demand that all articles sans definite/indefinite article should be changed to conform"? From my perspective, why can't we at least get some content right? Disruptive on what grounds? As far as I can tell there would be a net benefit for readers. Who exactly are we building this encyclopedia for? From my point of view I do not see the point of covering up a form of error by the ensuring of its consistent application. At least part of our content would be presented as presenting, as I see it, without this very basic grammatical mistake.
see this as being an RfC matter" yet I see less openness to debate and more dismissal for interpreted triviality.
There is nothing ungrammatical about the ellipses of title-style syntax being used for article titles" when sources such as Britannica do not do this I say yes there is. Of course it is ungrammatical. We work with the English language and in this context the only question relates to whether or not it is justifiably ungrammatical. Within this, as I see it, context of dismissal and piped misrepresentation of argument I feel justified in presenting counter arguments. I do not see any reason why the implication should be left that I have acted in any way disruptively. I honestly thought this was a no brainer and that this was an appropriate route to open up constructive debate. Instead of taking the issue to some policy based page I saw this as a route that would draw in contribution from the relevant people who work with the articles.
Another option for generating grammatical sense would involve a removal of "List of" so as to leave titles such as Tallest bridges in the world." For my troubles I have had a fairly damning entry placed at AN/I. Rightly or wrongly I have opened consensus discussion via RM. Please, if editors have legitimate points to present then present them. Greg Kaye 06:04, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
There is a centralized discussion about whether or not to remove "in the world" from this and roughly fifteen other articles.

The terms "expressway" and "motorway" are both used to describe road bridges, despite the lack of a clear distinction. Now, there is a difference between a controlled-access highway and a general road on the surface, but bridges, pretty much by definition, don't have access along their length. So even that distinction seems pretty irrelevant for the bridge proper. Do any of these distinctions make sense, or should the article normalize on one term? 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 20:41, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

If we're including longest span why not also deck height? Aside from making the difference in deck and structure heights more clear, it would allow a quick comparison of the lists by sorting the relevant column. List of highest bridges also lacks the data of the counterpart list. I think this is a needless omission - there is plenty of space for the list to have another (quite useful) column. —DIY Editor ( talk) 07:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Last edit on two of the highest/tallest bridge pages completely screwed up the table format. Significant edits were made so I don’t want to reverse those but the coding for the tables really need to be fixed. Thank you! Dym75 ( talk) 15:47, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

I do not think that this article needs to include bridges that have a vertical clearance underneath for standard ocean-going vessels. I do not see the world-wide notability in that. I think the list should stop at about 1.5 times the clearance needed for a ship to go underneath. I suggest about 75 meters (250 feet) as the stopping point for the list based on clearance underneath. - SCgatorFan ( talk) 13:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
I've removed all below 175m as the list was getting quite long and the accuracy of the list gets worse as the height get less. ShakyIsles ( talk) 07:57, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Please note that this is a List of tallest bridges in the world. i.e. their structural height. There is a seperate List of highest bridges in the world which measures the height above the ground. ShakyIsles ( talk) 18:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Where does the new 'Hoover Dam(bypass)Bridge' rate in this list ? I do believe it is taller then the Millau Bridge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.79.140 ( talk) 19:03, 9 January 2012 (UTC) I am thinking that this topic may warrant two lists within the article: (1) highest and (2) tallest. Because of the fame of the Millau Bridge, many readers will come to this article looking for the bridge that has the tallest piers. When the Millau Bridge opened, there was much mis-reporting by the media that this bridge was the highest in the world—completely forgetting the Royal Gorge Bridge.
So would it hurt for this article to have two short lists (say the top twenty five of each). I am of the opinion that the article should be simple and clear to the reader. Expecting them to sort and re-rank the list may be confusing to the average reader.
Lists like this should be especially simple and clear as there will be many primary/elementary students using the information. - SCgatorFan ( talk) 13:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
A new article has been started, List of highest bridges in the world. This duplicates the first half of this article, bridges with large clearance. I think that section should be deleted from this article. - ¢Spender1983 ( talk) 23:05, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
The Bloukrans Bridge bridge in South Africa is missing off this list. -- Firefishy ( talk) 14:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
The Mike O'Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge has a clearance of 270m. but it most certainty does not have a structural height of 270m, the base of the arch / piers are half way up the gorge. I recommend this is moved down the list from number 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.202.180 ( talk) 18:52, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Isn't the newly inaugurated Baluarte bridge in Mexico the tallest bridge now with 403m?

– As per other pages starting "List of the tallest ...". As per grammar example "Everest is the highest mountain in the world." As per Ngrams for "height of the tallest,height of tallest". As perhaps is appropriate to the topic area, the list is tall. Greg Kaye 13:09, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Example text" The closest of your examples to this is "
European jury announces list of best consumer electronic products for 2010-2011"
Let's take an cursory peek at how many articles do not conform via a quick search of Wikipedia:
I haven't bothered to pull up anything that could possibly be understood to be representative of being the tip of the iceberg, nor does it even begin to represent the extent of "List of" convolutions which should be applied if we were to be serious about addressing the inconsistencies, and am merely trying to demonstrate the sheer scale of changes to be made. Again, in theory it's fine to apply grammatically correct practices; in reality such lipservice is futile and disruptive. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 00:43, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
[[headlinese|title-style syntax]]" WP:Wikipedia is not a newspaper. We are an encyclopedia. While I can see a potential validity, at a stretch, with titles such as List of most-produced rotorcraft I personally see no linguistic justification for having a title presentation other than List of the smallest cities in the United Kingdom. Your "
Oppose The proposed changes are based on semantics ..." in, another context, could have read "
Support The proposed changes are based on semantics ...". As mentioned elsewhere students would be downgraded for presentation of the mentioned contents that we it seems habitually present. Why would this "
demand that all articles sans definite/indefinite article should be changed to conform"? From my perspective, why can't we at least get some content right? Disruptive on what grounds? As far as I can tell there would be a net benefit for readers. Who exactly are we building this encyclopedia for? From my point of view I do not see the point of covering up a form of error by the ensuring of its consistent application. At least part of our content would be presented as presenting, as I see it, without this very basic grammatical mistake.
see this as being an RfC matter" yet I see less openness to debate and more dismissal for interpreted triviality.
There is nothing ungrammatical about the ellipses of title-style syntax being used for article titles" when sources such as Britannica do not do this I say yes there is. Of course it is ungrammatical. We work with the English language and in this context the only question relates to whether or not it is justifiably ungrammatical. Within this, as I see it, context of dismissal and piped misrepresentation of argument I feel justified in presenting counter arguments. I do not see any reason why the implication should be left that I have acted in any way disruptively. I honestly thought this was a no brainer and that this was an appropriate route to open up constructive debate. Instead of taking the issue to some policy based page I saw this as a route that would draw in contribution from the relevant people who work with the articles.
Another option for generating grammatical sense would involve a removal of "List of" so as to leave titles such as Tallest bridges in the world." For my troubles I have had a fairly damning entry placed at AN/I. Rightly or wrongly I have opened consensus discussion via RM. Please, if editors have legitimate points to present then present them. Greg Kaye 06:04, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
There is a centralized discussion about whether or not to remove "in the world" from this and roughly fifteen other articles.

The terms "expressway" and "motorway" are both used to describe road bridges, despite the lack of a clear distinction. Now, there is a difference between a controlled-access highway and a general road on the surface, but bridges, pretty much by definition, don't have access along their length. So even that distinction seems pretty irrelevant for the bridge proper. Do any of these distinctions make sense, or should the article normalize on one term? 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 20:41, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

If we're including longest span why not also deck height? Aside from making the difference in deck and structure heights more clear, it would allow a quick comparison of the lists by sorting the relevant column. List of highest bridges also lacks the data of the counterpart list. I think this is a needless omission - there is plenty of space for the list to have another (quite useful) column. —DIY Editor ( talk) 07:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
