Talk:Cogan House Covered Bridge

message: For Ruhrfisch -- you left this message on my user page. Thought I'd move it over here so the discussion's in a better location for anyone interested in the article:
:Thanks for your edit to Cogan House Covered Bridge. According to your edit summary you made the change because A descendant asked me to correct "Meyers" to "Meyer." Here's my concern - I have two reliable sources on Valentine Meyers and they both agree that his name has an "s" at the end (one source is cited in the article, the other is not yet, but will be as I am planning on expanding the article soon). Both sources are by the same author (Milton W. Landis) and it is certainly possible that they are in error on "Meyers". I would be glad to give the other spelling ("Meyer") in the article, but I need a reliable source to back that up, and I think that is up to you or your acquaintance to provide. Since "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable", I am reverting until a reliable source is provided (or two). I look forward to hearing from you soon, thanks, Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 14:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for putting this here (and sorry I did not do so right away). I found Abraham Meyer in Meginness, but no found mention of Valentine. Is there a more explicit source? I also checked the edit history and I was the one who added the "Meyer" (no "s") in the Infobox (aka sidebar thingy). Since I added it before I added "Meyers" in the text, it may well be my error in adding the "s" (although, as you note, it is a name prone to multiple spellings). I will try to get to a library that has either the article or the book by Landis in the next day or so and double check it. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 22:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I have double checked both pieces by Milton W. Landis and he calls him Meyers in both. Since that is the only reliable source I have that mentions Meyer(s) at all, I am listing Meyers as the prefered spelling, but giving or Meyer at the first occurrence in the article. There is probably space to do this in the infobox too, if that is the consensus. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 13:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi all, there is a new stable template that I have placed on this talk page.  The purpose of this template, as explained in the documentation and in a short discussion at the village pump, is to help against article rot (the deterioration of quality that can occur in articles), and to keep a link to a stable version, which will be reliable, and not so prone to those errors, vandalism, and erroneous information that can crop up at any moment.  It has no effect on the actual article, and can be upgraded/changed at any time - ideally to reflect a newer, improved stable version.  This being said, if you are against using it on this talk page (some have found it intrusive), feel free to discuss or remove it - I believe that it will benefit some articles more than others, and I accept that not all will see a need for it on each article.
