Talk:Stari most

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I translated from the French article, which turns out to be one of the most incomplete articles on this bridge. Please translate the Bosnian article if you know how. --66.61.53.131 06:12, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I noticed several spelling and punctuation errors, and while editting added a number of cross references. In several cases, I deliberately selected the disambiguation pages for Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian. The text is unclear whether national armies or local partisans are involved in the particular action. Also, I attempted to describe the bridge towers more accurately -- as "left" and "right" originally used involve perspective -- hoping to determine the directions accurately from the many pictures here and on Mostar.

There is no evidence that craotian forces destroyed the bridge. Please note that by recent analisys of recordings during destruction of Stari Most. An explosive initiated by detonating chord was used for destruction. Recordings and experimental fuse pictures could be seen at http://rapidshare.de/files/13852458/Old_bridge_desctruction_-_good_job.zip.html

[edit] Destruction & reconstruction in introduction

Shouldn't the destruction and reconstruction be mentioned in the introduction? It is after all what brought it to the world's attention. 131.111.8.102 13:01, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old bridge

I think there should be a picture of the broken bridge, and not only of the new and the old ones. The fact of having being broke is part of the sheer bridge.

[edit] The first person to jump from the bridge

I don't see the point in mentioning that "The first person to jump from the bridge since it was re-opened was Enej Kelecija, a local who now resides in the United States."...

[edit] Dead link

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!
