 * GA review (see here for criteria)

I am always amazed at how much information you find on bridges and other Pennsylvania-related topics. Overall a well-written, well-referenced article, but there are a few minor issues to be addressed. For now, I've put the article on-hold.

 * Fine with me, thanks both of you. As for the date in the history, the second sentence of the "Construction and description" section says (of the 3 surviving Sullivan County bridges): All three are Burr arch truss covered bridges and all were built in 1850.[3][6] Is this OK as is? Adding 1850 to the next sentence to make it The Forksville Covered Bridge was built [in 1850] by Sadler Rogers (or Rodgers), a native of Forksville who was only 18 at the time. seems redundant.

 * Thank you for your thorough review and kind words. Thanks to Dincher for his changes too. I believe I have addressed all of the issues raised, except for adding a second mention of the date built to the history section. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 19:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * PS If there is a better way to say all three bridges were built in 1850 and still make it clear this one was too, I would love suggestions. I have probably revised that paragraph more than any other in the article. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, after taking another look, I think it's fine as it is. I can't see anything that keeps it from GA status at this point, so it passes. Congrats! Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  23:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
