Image:Long Path guidebook.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Oleg Yankovskiy)o Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The ongoing relocations are factual but ignore the route as marked in late 20th Century and followed by hundreds of hikers.

If sourcing and writers are available, I'd prefer to see at least a brief reference to this information.

Having myself hiked nearly 200 miles of LP, based on mid-1990s routing and some of my own purely private and expedient "interpretations," I personally have mixed feelings about extensive and sometimes extreme relocations based on the sometimes peculiar desire of planners to avoid roadwalks.

Obviously the "trail route" is ultimately based on arbitrary and evolving authority of NY/NJ Trail Conference.

The paragraph runs on with the first part giving 1991 as the guide's prep date, then the name of the guide, and finally a description that gives a date range starting much earlier. Does it mean to say that in 1991 he gathered the notes he had made over the past 6 decades into a final form? Or that he made a last revision to previous editions over the past 6 decades? Or does it simply contradict itself? Without a reference, so no way to easily clarify.

Any clarity? Sources? I went through article history (this is a quick edit) and the material was added in 2007 by an apparent member of the Schaeffer family, who did two edits in WP history, has no user or talk page, and probably will be difficult to contact.

@Dovid: Yeah, that's not a part of the article I had anything to do with. I do know some people I could contact in the New York–New Jersey Trail Conference who might be able to get in touch with the Schaeffer family and/or shed some light on this. Would you like me to try? Daniel Case (talk) 18:03, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: thank, can't hurt. I found a Jim M Schaefer, PhD from Schenectady on LinkedIn. He seems outdoorsy, and is from the right area. But I can't be sure, and he's not a direct contact for me. If your contacts work out, I think that would be better. Reading through the text some more, there's an overall lack of clarity on the human and organizational players for the north section - Perhaps we can collaborate on a cleanup.
