Thanks for the addition of material at Bartram's Covered Bridge. (I took the 3 pix that are in the article). It does need a bit more footnoting showing exactly where the material comes from, which I assume is the NSHPS book. BTW, I will likely look up the next meeting of the Society and attend.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Bartram's Covered Bridge. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. We appreciate your contributions, but cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. If your edit was written as part of a class project, please ask your instructor to read WP:FORUM, especially item 3. If the instructor can take the time, please have him or her reply to us at User talk:Tedickey#Note similarities. Thank you. Hertz1888 (talk) 01:40, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please cool your jets Hertz1888. I've noted the problem above and it will be taken care of in time. For the guy's first edit in article space, it is amazingly good. Best to continue this conversation on the article talk page, but please remember "don't bite the newbies" and "there is no deadline." Smallbones (talk) 02:45, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
