::Eh? Did you mean to say [[:Category:Structures]], or are you saying this article can be categorised in [[:Category:Buildings]]? Whichever it is, feel free to follow up on it yourself (though I really don't think bridges qualify as "buildings"). --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 04:49, 27 February 2008 (GMT) | ::Eh?

:::"build·ing /ˈbɪldɪŋ/ 2. anything built or constructed. 1. Building, edifice, structure refer to something built. Building and structure may apply to either a finished or an unfinished product of construction, and carry no implications as to size or condition. Edifice is a more formal word and narrower in application, referring to a completed structure, and usually a large and imposing one. Building generally connotes a useful purpose (houses, schools, business offices, etc.); structure suggests the planning and constructive process." I suppose it can work as a stretch.

::::I went by Cambridge Dictionary's definition though ("a structure with walls and a roof such as a house or factory, or the business of making these"), which makes bridge seemingly not qualify as a building at all. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 16:31, 27 February 2008 (GMT) |
