Any idea who owns the bridge? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 07:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it not owned directly by the feds, it more then likely owned ny DC, due to the situation with the potomac border. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 02:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article should either be renamed Francis Scott Key Bridge (Washington, D.C.) or Francis Scott Key Bridge (Potomac River). --Caponer 12:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Francis Scott Key Bridge (Washington, D.C.) → Key Bridge (Washington, D.C.) – per WP:UCN (use common names) / WP:OFFICIALNAME (official names should be used only if they are actually the name most commonly used). Browse these Google Books results for samples of usage. — AjaxSmack 20:52, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support move, it seems to me that using the common name is really just common sense. - WPGA2345 - ☛ 22:08, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking Consensus

Hello All! @Serols has flagged me for vandalism for adding vital historical information about the history of the Key Bridge. I have asked for clarification via @Serols talk page.

At the encouragement of @Schazjmd, I would like consensus on the fact that the bridge was "named for a racist man who owned other human beings and believed that Africans in America were 'a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.'" My citation is https://www.teenvogue.com/story/the-racist-history-of-americas-patriotic-anthems

I would like to invite @Serols:, @Schazjmd:, and @Shellwood: to the consensus.

Thank you. Truthpatrol2 (talk) 19:03, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If there is actually controversy over the name, in multiple sources, it should have its own section, and not be the first line of article. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 18:15, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The source linked above makes no mention of any controversy over the name of the bridge, and I can't find any in a search. Schazjmd (talk) 18:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this thing fell over
