Sach's Covered Bridge vs. Sauck's Covered Bridge

[edit]

An IP editor's edit suggested this bridge article on "Sauck's Covered Bridge" might be the bridge named "Sach's Covered Bridge". There is documentation about the latter here. The NRIS listing name is "Sauck's Covered Bridge" but that could possibly be a typo in its entry. Also there are other webpages using "Sauck's" but those may just be following an incorrect NRIS entry. Is there one or two bridges? Are there two valid names? --doncram (talk) 18:20, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One bridge, two names; the nom form lists the name of the bridge as "Sauck's (Sachs [sic]) Covered Bridge" [1]. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 16:07, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm mulling a move to Sachs Covered Bridge, as that appears to most common name used and the person the bridge derives its name from was named Sachs. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 20:58, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, at least two plaques on the bridge itself identify it as "Sachs Covered Bridge", per photos in this HMDB marker page, which i would include as an external link in the article. I think i saw a similar quality external link deleted from the article, though. Niagara are u viewing links like this as too informal to include? Anyhow, go ahead and move it. --doncram (talk) 22:22, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Yeah, generally, with links like that, if it probably wouldn't pass WP:RS, then I won't include it without a good reason. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 23:13, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
