[edit] Help with information rather than just deleting it. Long Island (Tennessee)
KevinMyers, rather than deleting the information, since you have some Wiki know-how, why don't you contribute to the article instead of always reverting it back to the bare minimum of information? I do not have the Wiki know-how that you do, but this article deserves more information than what little it is being scaled down to. Most of the points provided actually come from the National Parks Service, found at this web address: http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/colonials-patriots/sitec54.htm
Do you not think it is important that Boone's Wilderness Road began there? Or that Tennessee gets it's name from The Long Island of the Holston? (HaroldKarey (talk) 04:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)) (HaroldKarey (talk) 04:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC))
- Because of copyright, we cannot just copy and paste text from other websites. Copyright violations will be deleted for legal reasons. Instead, try using the sources to write the history of the island in your own words, and me and other Wikipedia editors will help to polish the Wiki formatting. —Kevin Myers 04:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
