[edit] Copyright issues

I noticed that there is text on this page lifted directly from Hunt's Guide. Specificially, the pronunciation is a word for word copy. This should be redone in IPA at any rate.

A further suggestion would be to expand on the format of the references by using the {{cite web}} and {{cite book}} templates to standardize how the information is presented. For instance, for the M-35, I used the format:

{{cite book |author=Hunt, Mary and Hunt, Don | chapter=Negaunee — Lucy Hill Naturbahn Luge |date=2007 |title=Hunt's Guide to Michigan's Upper Peninsula |publisher= Midwestern Guides |location=[[Albion, MI]] |url= http://hunts-upguide.com/ |chapterurl= http://hunts-upguide.com/negaunee_lucy_hill_naturbahn_luge.html | accessdate=2008-05-11 }}

This produces:

Hunt, Mary and Hunt, Don (2007). "Negaunee — Lucy Hill Naturbahn Luge", Hunt's Guide to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Albion, MI: Midwestern Guides. Retrieved on 2008-05-11. 

as one of the references used from Hunt's Guide. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime! Imzadi1979 (talk) 03:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Excellent ideas and did replace references using {{cite web}}. Also changed wording of the pronunciation of the word. Do you believe that the way I have it worded now will not violate any copyrights on the pronunciation?--Doug talk 18:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I replaced three of them. The one DNR Fisheries source is from a journal and Hunt's Guide is a book, albeit the online edition of the print book. The state park source is a Google Books version of a print source, so I converted that to {{cite book}} as well. The pronunciation should be rendered in IPA, but that's outside of my expertise on here. Imzadi1979 (talk) 21:51, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the follow up. Now I see better how to use the {{cite web}} and {{cite book}} templates. I don't understand the IPA language pronunciation however, since this is not my expertise. I did meanwhile ask the Language reference desk and they came up with /ˌkɪtʃɪtiˈkɪpi/, or possibly /ˈkɪtʃɪtiˌkɪpi/, besides the explained pronunciation already there. If you feel comfortable with these additional pronunciations maybe you could edit accordingly. I have no idea how that might properly be worded. --Doug talk 11:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
