Can someone determine whether the image is unrestricted or not? I'd love to keep it on the page, but we have strict rules here. Daniel Case 22:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Are you asking about the infrared aerial shot? Back when the state first put up their GIS application, I asked them about reusing images. Their reply was that the data was from the federal government, and could not be copyrighted. They told me I could use it any way I liked, but they would appreciate credit as the source for the image, as I did when I uploaded it. When I uploaded it I specified that it was from government sources, and was public domain, but I see it doesn't say that now. Don't know why.
As a sidenote, you can no longer zoom out this much in their application. Evidently it puts too much of a load on their servers. Makes it less useful, though. If you want, I can dig up that email from the NYGIS, I must have it somewhere (it was 5 years ago!). Also, I liked it better where I put it originally on the page, I wanted to fill that big white space. The page looks unbalanced now (IMHO).
On another topic, I have been debating rewriting the paragraph on the ascent by the state commission. I think it is an exageration to say Dutcher "sabotaged" the trail. Sabotage implies an action, Dutcher did nothing. That was the problem, he felt no obligation to get the trail ready for someone else to guide the commission up. IMHO, the fault lay with C.C. Winne, the hotelkeeper appointed to guide the ascent. It was really his responsibility to scout the trail and make sure it was ready ahead of time. Anyway, I didn't change the text because I didn't want to step on any toes... Tim mallery 16:08, 11 December
I deleted the images. I originally uploaded them, but since Wikipedia has decided that links to my webpages are inappropriate content, I deleted them.—Preceding

Han-Kwang decided that links to sites about the Catskills aren't appropriate for articles about the Catskills. You'd have to ask him to explain that. I see he deleted other sites than mine as well. Given his attitude, I'd rather not participate here anymore. Tim mallery 21:16, 5 October 2006
In the "John Burroughs" section, I found something that is probably not NPOV. If we had this as a quote from someone, it would be fine. "...that offers the best view from the mountain." Smock42 ( talk) 19:15, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
