Re: cut and paste text, and self-citing
Hi Don: your knowledge re: the history of Inwood, West Virginia is welcome at Wikipedia. But cutting and pasting lengthy passages from your own, or any, book, raises both copyright and WP:SELFCITING issues, and may introduce a tone that is not entirely encyclopedic. I'd encourage you to contribute, a bit more circumspectly. Cheers, JNW (talk) 02:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
