[edit]

While the article definitely used material from "vermontbridges", it was reworded. There are only so many ways to describe a wooden bridge! "Place slat 'A' into beam 'B'" really doesn't lend itself well to a lot of variety of amendment. I have tried to amend it further. Hope this works.

Note that the documentation mentions that Paddleford, himself, did not leave a lot of documentation. It is only with the research of the 20th and 21th centuries that his contribution has become valued. So the "documentation" is mainly the bridges themselves, which design people used until well after father and son had died, and these publications. Student7 (talk) 21:19, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tried cutting it down still further. I suppose it could be cut down to really bare bones by just listing that he designed a truss, and listing the bridges. But much less than that nearly does away with the point for the article. Student7 (talk) 12:29, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I will stub it unless I hear back otherwise from the bot owner. I have tried to reword this as best as I can. There are only so many ways you can word something factual. Student7 (talk) 12:11, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That did no good. Page was blanked. Admin probably doesn't even look at edits or read the discussion page. Student7 (talk) 12:18, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
