Sorry to be overly pedantic, but it does look weird that an event that happened on July 17 was reported on July 16. - Altenmann >talk 06:47, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's time zones for you. Bazonka (talk) 09:25, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article

[edit]

Information to add to this article: what exactly were the mother, father, and daughter from Belgorod doing on the Kerch bridge? Had they traveled from their home to Crimea as tourists, as Vladimir Putin had encouraged Russian civilians to do (even though it is in the midst of a war zone)? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 14:30, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with 2022 explosion?

[edit]

Surprised to see a separate article. The bridge will be hit again I expect, it seems slightly ridiculous to have articles dedicated to each explosion rather than to the structure they target. Am I missing something? Cheers Thelisteninghand (talk) 15:17, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it's somewhat recentist to have an article on each explosion. Would support a merge but not sure of the page title: Crimean Bridge explosions (seems vague, but more or less what we have now) or Crimean Bridge explosions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine (more specific, but lengthy).

[edit]
Seems like a rename to 2023 Crimean Bridge explosions (currently a redirect here) will be needed. Currently WP:RS such as Kyiv Independent summarise Russian media + Russian-occupation administrative head of Crimea + residents talking about multiple explosions. So that would match an expanded topic. Whether or not the bridge was damaged yesterday doesn't yet seem to have been reported. Boud (talk) 01:52, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is mentioned in the main article on the Crimean Bridge as an 'attempt'. In the long run I think these events should all be merged into a single article. Yesterday's could certainly be called an 'attack' but it may not be a "Crimean Bridge explosion". Needs a more military-minded title in the future in my opinion.

@Boud: I'd support your proposal immediately. We cannot really leave out yesterday's attack just because the title says July. I'd go ahead and move and create a section for it. @GnocchiFan: That long title is the one but I'm sure there is a 'proper' way of saying that somehow.

Requested move 14 August 2023

[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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus to move and merge. There may also be consensus to merge the 2022 bridge attacks, but that option saw insufficient discussion here; a WP:BOLD choice to do so may be accepted.

July 2023 Crimean Bridge explosion2023 Crimean Bridge attacks – I propose to include all recent attacks to the Crimean Bridge into this article. More attacks have occurred since the 17 July one. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 08:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
