In the Construction section , would it be possible to add the date that construction was completed? I see above that it was opened in 1937, but it would be helpful to have that date also added to the construction section. Thank you for considering my request. ~2026-23010-34 (talk) 18:17, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Heyyo!

If anyone's looking for a quick edit, reference number 125 (Mitchell, James. "Lifesaving Signals") ought to be changed to this:

{ { cite web | url=https://thesanfranciscanmagazine.com/lifesaving-signals/ | title=Lifesaving Signals | publisher=The San Franciscan | accessdate=14 February 2025 | author=Mitchell, James | archive-date=June 19, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220619230548/https://thesanfranciscanmagazine.com/lifesaving-signals/ | url-status=unfit } }

The original link now redirects to an unrelated site, and I've fixed the archive link so it loads a snapshot with article images 🙂

Thanks!

Done — Thanks for the pointer. Updated it to the 6/19/22 version. Retr0r0cket (talk) 14:37, 30 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Cheers! Oops, forgot my signature last time, haha. ~2026-42233-46 (talk) 12:01, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
