Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Aepstein607! Thanks for the contribution over on the Louis B. Marshall article. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
And some odds and ends: Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~. Best of luck, Aepstein607, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 19:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I would also invite you to join WP:TRAILS, WikiProject Protected Areas and WP:WPNY, based on your edits.
Thank you for creating those articles on the wilderness areas ... I've been cleaning them up a bit, adding them to the protected areas and NY state projects etc. (For a long time there was only one NY wilderness-area article, the Slide Mountain Wilderness Area in the Catskills, which I had created. That follows project guidelines and uses the UMP heavily as a source ... you might want to follow the example in organizing any further articles on protected areas you create.
Since I mainly hike in the Catskills, I have been working on those articles, but I had started some of the High Peaks in my early days on Wikipedia. Good to see someone else taking up the slack.
You are right that the title of the Adirondack and Catskill park articles will have to change ... as section 9-0101 of the Environmental Conservation Law states, they are both simply "parks". (I hate when people say the Adirondack Park is the biggest state park in the country ... it's so not a state park in the usual sense. Both "parks" are more like national forests). The main problem was the huge list of redirects, but I have AWB now so I can fix that quickly. Maybe I should do that this weekend? Daniel Case 03:46, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Don't copy too much (like, any) text from the state's documents. It's not public domain, and it's easier to rewrite it. Otherwise it creates a lot of style violations besides the copyright violations. Daniel Case 05:22, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Even when it is, huge blocks of appropriated text don't make Wikipedia look good.
I'll do the move and AWB thing tonight ... it's long overdue. Daniel Case 16:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
I have two other ideas for how we can improve the Adirondack coverage:
Let me know. Hope you're out on the trails this weekend ... wish I was. Daniel Case 16:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I think I know who you are:) How's it going Ari? cOrneLlrOckEy 11:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
