[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)

[edit] DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DC Meetup on May 17th

[edit] Please consider joining the working group for the WMF DC Chapter

Please consider joining the working group for the WMF DC chapter. Since we have a very active and very community oriented DC/MD/VA area group of Wikipedians, it only makes sense to develop it as a chapter, especially given the recent changes to the Board of Trustees structure, giving chapters more of a vote. Hopefully we will be either the first or the second officially recognized US Chapter (WMF Pennsylvania is pending as well), and hopefully our efforts will benefit WMF Penn as well. Remember, it's a working group, and this is a wiki, so feel free to offer changes, make bold changes to the group, and discuss on the talk page! I hope to see you there, as well as Wikimeetup DC 4 if you're attending. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 16:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
