[edit] Re: Lehigh Valley Copyright Question

My own rule of thumb is to put the facts from whatever references I use in my own words (Timken 1111 is an example of this). What we're trying to avoid is blatant copy/paste from external sources. That's not to say that quoting a reference is taboo, you just have to make sure that your quotes are not too long (generally a sentence or two) and that they are explicitly referenced back to the source. But I've found that I rarely need to quote articles to state facts in an article here.

That's the quick answer. I'll probably think of more to say on the topic after I've had my morning tea. B-) Slambo (Speak) 11:55, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
