Italian bridge name

That's what O'Connor says verbatim on the subject: "Meran lies further east, on the western approach of the Brenner Pass to Austria. A medieval bridge here retains the name, the Ponte Romano sul Passirio (Gazzola, 1963b, no. 281). Similarly at Franzenfeste (or Fortezza) the Ponte Ladricio is reputed to be Roman (Gazzola, 1963b, no. 128)." (Colin O'Connor, Roman Bridges, Cambridge Univ. Press (1994) ISBN 0-521-39326-4, p.95)
--> O'Connor does not state as a fact that the bridge is Roman. Throughout his book, he is closely following Gazzola's compilation of Roman bridges and often makes it clear that he does not endorse his views, nor refutes them, but simply presents them for an English-speaking audience. This means in my view, if there is a respectable source saying otherwise, it should be included in the article. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 14:16, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Someone needs to stop Noclador from adding his non-cited ramblings on here. He states that he knows this because he is from Merano. That may be the case, but without a citation it can not be included. It is original research, and I don't know why an article about a bridge needs to be so inflamatory. 192.45.72.26 (talk) 23:00, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
  • I've brought this issue up with an Admin, this behavior has to stop. Noclador puts a bunch of political stuff on this page about a bridge, and then references a website that claims nothing he writes. Then he, for no reason, takes out O'Connor's citation because he thinks it isn't good enough. This is completely against Misplaced Pages policy and he is pushing Original Research. 192.45.72.26 (talk) 23:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Not to mention that never in history was there an "Austrian province of South Tyrol". BIZARRE! LOL 192.45.72.26 (talk) 23:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
