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


The purpose of the Kentucky Wiki Project is to help readers find and use Kentucky resources and records for genealogy and family history. The project will update and improve:
To increase valuable content on the Kansas county pages.


*Kentucky county pages. Example [[Adair County, Kentucky|Adair Kentucky]]
*[[Kentucky|Kentucky]] main page.
*Statewide topic pages. Example [[Kentucky Vital Records|Kentucky]]
*Other Kentucky-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.
[[User:Batsondl|Danielle]]


*'''Tell readers what to expect''' when they follow a link or search a suggested record.
== Task List ==
[[FamilySearch_Wiki:WikiProject Kansas Task List|Task List]]


*'''Balance content''' with these four factors in mind:
== Instructions ==
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.


:a. [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Hows#Genealogical_Value|'''Genealogical Value.''']] Does this help Wiki users further their research?<br>
:b. '''Clarity.''' Make sure everyone understands your meaning and the purpose of your words.<br>
:c. '''Brevity.''' Be succinct as possible without sacrificing purpose or clarity.<br>

For each section containing information regarding resources and records, the following should be included:
=== Cemetery Tables ===
