Watercraft paddling → Paddling – Move over redirect. A simple disambiguating hatnote (which the article already has anyway) is vastly preferable to a contrived phrase like this, which no one is ever going to search for. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 12:38, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support "Paddling" in itself implies that a watercraft is involved. Peter ^Isotalo 15:40, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment not necessarily, this article sports a hatnote for the form of punishment. It just means a paddle is involved. Though this article is most likely the primary topic. -- 65.94.171.206 (talk) 02:35, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support – per nom Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 10:12, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Primary usage and already redirects here. The application to spanking is already dealt with via a hatnote. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:56, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History section needed[edit]

Paddling is one of the few types of water vessel locomotion that goes back to antiquity, and there should be at least a brief section here about it. Paddled or oared vessels were in use for millennia before anything mentioned in this article. Mathglot (talk) 03:07, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
