== Important Notice ==
== Purpose ==
{{FYI|This WikiProject page needs to be totally revised, except for the meeting immediately below. Much has been streamlined, making many of the current tasks unnecessary. [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 02:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)}}


=== Overall Objectives ===
To increase valuable content on the Arkansas county pages.


The purpose of the Arkansas Wiki Project is to help readers find and use Arkansas resources and records for genealogy and family history. The project will update and improve:


*Arkansas county pages. Example [[Jackson County, Arkansas|Jackson County]]
== Contact ==
*[[Arkansas|Arkansas]] main page.
*Statewide topic pages. Example [[Arkansas Birth, Marriage and Death Records|Birth, Marriage, and Death Records]]
*Other Arkansas-related pages


=== Guiding Principles  ===
[[User:Batsondl|Danielle]]


*'''Task Difficulty''' Tasks are rated for difficulty. Within each phase task table look for 1, 2, or 3, with 1 being the least difficult and 3 being the most difficult.
== Task List ==
[[FamilySearch_Wiki:WikiProject Arkansas Task List|Task List]]


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


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


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


:a. [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Hows#Genealogical_Value|'''Genealogical Value.''']] Does this help Wiki users further their research?<br>
Status: '''Completed'''
: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>
: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:
----


*'''Links to online resources:''' indexes and/or images of records or how to use those records.  
=== Historical Population Tables ===
*'''Links to catalogs''' such as the [http://books.google.com/advanced_book_search Google books], [http://www.worldcat.org/ WorldCat], [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlc/ Family History Library Catalog]among others.
Level: Intermediate.   You will add a census table to the Census heading. This does involve entering numbers into the table.
