[edit] Is there a source for this?
It was in America that the design was reversed with the wheel moving from the centre to the front of the box and the motive power to the rear. Modern wheelbarrows are often misspelled wheel barrels. (RJP 14:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC))
- Should this article be on an disambig page or a redirect to this for Wheel Barrel since that is what is, although incorrect, most commonly called. FuzionZero 18:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] source for roman empire wheebarrows?
where does this information come from? (taxation leeds to design of wheelbarrows)
to the best of my knowledge there is no documetary or archelogical evidence for the existance of roman wheel barrows 85.126.196.34 11:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] China
I just greatly expanded the section on ancient China.--PericlesofAthens 02:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] China invented everything
Seems like they invented everyhting. Must have invented fire and light, too. CJ DUB 01:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Funny joke except you cant invent fire or light. Those are naturally occuring things and are discovered, not invented. FuzionZero 18:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Everything? Not a chance. The flurry of Chinese inventiveness can be seen in the Warring States, Han, Tang, and Song eras, but this does not measure up to the modern industrialized West since the 18th century.--Pericles of AthensTalk 01:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- In any case, a talk page is to be used for discussion on improving the article, so that is my final 2 cents on the matter.--Pericles of AthensTalk 01:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please note wheel-barrowing, to topple an airplane.
Many would spell it as wheel_barrow, wheeled_barrow, wheel-barrow, wheeled-barrow, as well as the misspelling[s] like wheel_barrel, & its variations [including barrel|barrel_(disambiguation).].
- Please note wheel-barrowing, to topple an airplane.
This should link wheel, barrow, wiktionary : barrow [gravemound].
