Thanks for pointing to the copyright. It has been cleared from the direct cut and paste content. I wish SP had a draft version of the page that you can use as interim state w/o making it public immediately after submitting it. BTW, NPS does not specifically protects the content of the site or the trail description used in the v.1 of the page. See http://www.nps.gov/disclaimer.htm
Thanks. The standard on PnP is not to cut and paste much at all-- uncomplicated driving directions and regulations are examples of things that are okay, but other material should be based on personal experience and description.
What I usually do is write my text off-site and then make the page here when it is ready.
Anyway, I changed my vote. You might want to send PMs to the others who downvoted; they did so because of the copy-paste matter.
Rinat, I went ahead and contacted the others I mentioned, and they changed their votes. Thank you for changing the page and being receptive to constructive criticism. I hope to see more nice submissions (and more nice pictures) from you!
P.S. I'll also be deleting my other comments since they no longer are relevant.
