Talk:Van Tran Flat Bridge

GA review response
@Pi.1415926535, This is my response to the GA review. First and foremost, thank you for reviewing this article. I apologize for the piecemeal response, hopefully my notes are coherent.
 * Length and coverage:
 * Simply put, this is all I could find. For posterity's sake, I re-reviewed WP:LIBRARY's database, Newspapers.com, and Google Scholar again before writing this response. I found a couple of sources to fill out the history/buttress citations. I'm really having to dig deep on this one.


 * Relevance:
 * Removed explicit address
 * Removed nearby location sentence
 * Changed to footnote


 * Support for claims:
 * Bendo Bridge was built in 1860 but not actually placed in service till 1913 (it was originally built in a separate location and later modified). Every source I've found says Van Tran Flat is the oldest.
 * originally named The Motts Flats Bridge. ACK!! Sloppy!!! I had FN 1 and FN 2 swapped around, fixed.
 * I separated the sections into description and history. I made mention of the conflicting lengths.


 * Citations:
 * Per What the Good article criteria are not, citation format is not a GA concern (Although I myself am guilty of demanding it in some reviews myself). Regardless, I cleaned these up.
 * Cite 7 is a text version of a historical marker (information on editorial standards). While yes it's a user generated site, the historical placard from which I'm citing is not, I added a note in the ref to make this clearer.
 * Citations 1 and 5 come from a reputable source (new york state covered bridge society) and a WP:BLOG justification is easy enough here. They are a nonprofit who works for the restoration and documentation of covered bridges in NY state.


 * Other Issues:
 * Gallery is used in order to avoid MOS:SANDWICH
 * External Link section removed
 * Expanded the infobox
 * Coordinates appear to be correct when I checked
