 * Ms. Martin (assuming you are the same Techgal who wrote the item you are trying to add here) - please do not recreate that content on Wikipedia without taking one of the above actions suggested by Nick Wilson. You may feel that it is ok since you are the original creator of the content to repost it here, but without a clear declaration of a Wikipedia-compatible release we have to consider the content as copyrighted and incompatible.  If you have any questions you can edit under this message and I will respond.  Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 19:13, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I think I resaved it again. I am the author. It is all my intellectual property. I am going to help a friend write and publish an article. However, I wanted to familiarize myself with your site and how to accomplish this. What must I do to publish this article, my article? I can call, send an e-mail, etc.

Please advise on what I must do.

Thank you in advance, Beth (Tech Gal)


 * You should probably read the instructions at WP:Your first article to familiarize yourself with the guidelines. One thing to remember is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; it is not a travel guide or source of recommendations. The text would not be suitable as an article on those grounds without extensive reworking.


 * That said, selected facts from the article may be able to be inserted into the Blue Ridge Parkway article. Again, stick to facts and not opinions and recommendations.


 * Finally, remember that if you do post your intellectual property on Wikipedia under a valid free license, you are giving away a large portion of the rights to it. Once you post it to Wikipedia and/or license it under Creative Commons and GFDL licenses, "the genie is out of the bottle." Anybody may use the text for any purpose once it's so licensed, and that's including commercial re-use. Make sure you intend to give all those rights away before you do so. —C.Fred (talk) 19:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I had been in the process of replying when C. Fred replied, and he seems to have covered what I was going to say. I hope that helps. Syrthiss (talk) 19:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
