From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tone probably needs work because it was lifted from MY own page on yahoo, although I did edit it some from the original.

I will add something to the yahoo page, what do I say, ok to be referenced by wikapedia? DCwom 20:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The tone was way off! It was written as a first-person travelogue advice article, rather than as a formal encyclopedia article. It was also too long given the subject. If you look at some of the articles in Category:Rail trails, you'll get an idea of the appropriate tone and length. The external link to your and others' articles will still be there, for those seeking a more detailed description.

As for the procedure for blessing your own writing elsewhere as a contribution to Wikipedia, there is one, but I don't remember where it is. Look around in the Wikipedia 'Help' articles and maybe you'll stumble across it. But basically, you'll have to do enough reworking to your current page to make it appropriate for Wikipedia, that it won't look like a copyvio anymore anyway.

I've recreated the page as a short stub, so that it doesn't get disappeared completely. Wasted Time R 20:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
