Good catch!! Thank you for fixing that error. When I wrote it, I must have been thinking mid-1700s and somehow wrote mid 17th century. Boffo aces! Toddst1 (talk) 20:24, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah it was an understandable mistake, glad I could be of assistance. I also noticed that the references are numbered in an incorrect order in which they appear in the article, the 2nd one(State Inventory of Historic Bridges) appears 1st and the 1st one(Engineering records) appears 2nd, I would change it myself but I'm not entirely sure how to work with references yet or whether it's even possible to change the numbering around. I would guess that somebody added another segment to the article in the middle with a new 2nd reference. I hope I explained it clearly enough, haha. J5689 (talk) 20:44, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think I get it. Let me take a look to see if I can fix it. Toddst1 (talk) 21:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, it's because the infobox comes first when you look at the markup and the refs are numbered top to bottom. Toddst1 (talk) 21:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- So that probably means that the infobox takes priority and it's unchangeable then, but that's not so bad really. All in all a good article as it stands, the only other input I can think of to make it longer is maybe some more information on the road named after it and which places it goes through like Bowie and Davidsonville as well as maybe its terminus on either side.
