Watercraft paddling → Paddling – Move over redirect. A simple disambiguating hatnote (which the article already has anyway) is vastly preferable to a contrived phrase like this, which no one is ever going to search for. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  12:38, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Support "Paddling" in itself implies that a watercraft is involved. Peter Isotalo 15:40, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment not necessarily, this article sports a hatnote for the form of punishment. It just means a paddle is involved. Though this article is most likely the primary topic. -- 65.94.171.206 (talk) 02:35, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

History section needed
Paddling is one of the few types of water vessel locomotion that goes back to antiquity, and there should be at least a brief section here about it. Paddled or oared vessels were in use for millennia before anything mentioned in this article. Mathglot (talk) 03:07, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
