=== Overall Objectives  ===
== Purpose ==


The purpose of the Oklahoma Wiki Project is to help readers find and use Oklahoma resources and records for genealogy and family history. The project will update and improve:
To increase valuable content on the Oklahoma pages in a rapid manner.


*Oklahoma county pages. Example [[Adair County, Oklahoma|Adair Oklahoma]]
*[[Oklahoma|Oklahoma]] main page.
*Statewide topic pages. Example [[Oklahoma Vital Records|Oklahoma]]
*Other Oklahoma-related pages


=== Guiding Principles  ===
== Contact ==


*'''Highlight important and relevant items'''. Long lists of every website or every publication would bury, rather than highlight, what's important.
Jane Colmenares


*'''Tell readers what to expect''' when they follow a link or search a suggested record.


*'''Balance content''' with these four factors in mind:
== Task List ==
[[FamilySearch_Wiki:WikiProject Oklahoma Task List|Task List]]


:a. [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Hows#Genealogical_Value|'''Genealogical Value.''']] Does this help Wiki users further their research?<br>
== Instructions ==
:b. '''Clarity.''' Make sure everyone understands your meaning and the purpose of your words.<br>
This project is multi-layered with varying degrees of complexity so everyone can participate. Select an area to work on and then sign it out on the Task List.
:c. '''Brevity.''' Be succinct as possible without sacrificing purpose or clarity.<br>
:d. '''Documentation.''' Use footnote(s) to identify the source(s) of the content you are creating.<br>


For each section containing information regarding resources and records, the following should be included:
=== Cemetery Tables ===
Level:  Intermediate.  You will add cemetery tables to the Cemeteries heading.  This does involve getting website links and pasting them into the table.


*'''Links to online resources:''' indexes and/or images of records or how to use those records.
