I don't like popular culture lists. It is not necessary to list every instance where, for instance, the Brooklyn Bridge has appeared in any form of media on its page. Material in an encyclopedia should be significant. |

I don't like popular culture lists. It is not necessary to list every instance where, for instance, the Brooklyn Bridge has appeared in any form of media on its page. Material in an encyclopedia should be significant.
