A fact from Whipple Cast and Wrought Iron Bowstring Truss Bridge appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 June 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the iron bridge to Normanskill Farm in Albany, New York, built in 1867, is one of only a few in the United States to use both cast and wrought iron?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/June. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Whipple Cast and Wrought Iron Bowstring Truss Bridge.

what was it doing for for 32 years?[edit]

"constructed about 1867 and erected in its present location in 1899."

The timeline has a unexplained gap of 32yrs. Was it moved from a 'previous' location, was it sitting in a warehouse in a box somewhere, or did it actually take 32 years to 'erect' it? Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 17:02, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The first of those three. It was described ca. 1900 as having been moved from "Schoharie", which could mean three places in the same general area west of Albany. Daniel Case (talk) 17:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy on number of Whipple truss bridges surviving.[edit]

The Squire Whipple article says that at least seven Whipple truss bridges still survive, but the Whipple Cast and Wrought Iron Bowstring Truss Bridge article says there are only two. Cptbutton (talk) 07:24, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits 8-3-2023[edit]

Some minor edits (in the scheme of things) were made this date. It is only being mentioned here as it is the only way for an unregistered user to communicate with editor/administrator User:Daniel Case (as his talk page is locked to them).

Checked to see you are still active as of this date, DC. Am not singling you out to make a required clarification needed edit here, rather to acknowledge the awesome amount of effort you have put into this very welcome article over the years. And to just drop in while I'm at it and have your attention that I love seeing your pictures at any article, many of which are absolutely the bomb.

Feel free to delete this as you please. 2601:196:180:DC0:9587:2AEC:4865:1DA0 (talk) 21:22, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
