Initial comments

  • Background -
  • Is Foldrøyhomen used in the second paragraph the same (i.e. a typo) as Foldrøyholmen used in the first and third paragraphs?
  • The third paragraph is rather confusing for those of us who don't know the area well and it refers to places not on the map of the Triangle Link and the ferry services it replaced. The Hordaland Public Roads Administration in 1984 ........ preferred a pontoon bridge between Foldrøyholmen and Sørstokken, which I suspect is (possibly) the first proposal mentioned in the second paragraph - but anyway it's near the airport (not shown on the map, because its "off map"). It then states: In 1982, plans were launched for a fixed link to the mainland, which would include a bridge over Digernessundet, a causeway and low bridge across Spissøysundet and a low bridge over Gassasundet. In addition, a tunnel would have to be built from Føyno to Sveio, which is (I believe) the Triangle Link. However, the paragraph does not make it clear that this is not the same place as the preferred Foldrøyholmen - Sørstokken link: the Triangle Link is further south down the sund (or sundet).
  • The fourth and sixth paragraphs mentions ferry services / ferries (pural) but the final paragraph mentions tolls on the ferry. The map seems to show three or four possible services (but they are not labelled as such): Siggjavag to Sagvag; Mosterhamn to Vallevag; Vallevag to Skjørsholmane; and Skjørsholmane to Ubtjoa (sorry I've missed off the accents on three of the -"bay"s). Are these interpretations of mine correct: three/four ferry routes and tolls on all three/four, or just the direct ferry route?
  • Construction-
  • Note, I changed the grammar in the final sentence of the first paragraph to: ...two catwalks were erected between them, with the constructors choosing two continuous catwalks instead of three separate pairs. Extra stability to the catwalks was achieved by building connections between the two.[22]. Can you check the Norsk original so ensure that my change reflects what was stated in the reference?
  • I don't really understand the technical description of the cable spinning in the second paragraph. I think it might be a problem of translation. This site shows cable spinning here, which might help.
  • Thanks for the link. I have rephrased to make it a bit more understandable. Part of the problem was that I didn't understand much of the explanation in the text; that link was much more pedagogical. Arsenikk (talk) 20:00, 11 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • I'm not sure what little place is saying, is it about "room" or "speed", i.e. little place = "little space", or little pace = "slowly"?
  • I'm not sure about This involved installing a cable car and connecting two double loops each with a spinning wheel, with one loop spinning outward and the other spinning inward. The system has two reel racks, each with four reels, with two reels on one rack at any given time, allowing for minimum down-time when changing reels. . I assume that there were two cables, one on each side the road deck, but there could be six (but that might not be too important). I'm not sure what is being said above: one interpretation is that both cables were spun at the same time (with one cable car) starting at one end; so one wire is added to each cable on the way out and one wire to each cable on the way back. Can you clarify?
  • The final sentence of the final paragraph, states: the bridge allowed, along with the rest of the Triangle Link, four ferry services to terminate. These aught to be named in the article, there appear to be four ferry routes on the figure but they are not labelled as ferry routes neither does the figure name them (even if they were in the figure, that does not preclude the article naming them).
  • Specifications -
  • This section looks OK.
  • Looks OK.

At this point I'm putting the review On Hold, as there are just a few minor points that need to be fixed up before I can award GA-status. Pyrotec (talk) 12:52, 10 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the review. As always, you have been able to help create a better article. Arsenikk (talk) 20:00, 11 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
