Wikipedia is like an encyclopedia only the entries are done by people like
you and me. It is free and I actually used it while I was working on my
history degree. I didn't use it as a quotable source but for inspiration
and other sources. You should have no problem having a link to any of your
websites. As long as they do not copy material on your website into
Wikipedia, I wouldn't worry about it. Remember, anyone can link to any
website. Wikipedia is a website I would love to have my sites listed on as
most people who use it are looking for information and that is what we are
in the business of - making available information on our counties. I think
it will give you more 'hits' of the type you want.

Subject: [GAGEN] New Topic Wikipedia
Has anyone had much experience with Wikipedia?
I found that my independent page, Forsyth County History and Records had
been
linked from there as an External Link.
