Improve the Wiki[edit | edit source]
- There is a list of FamilySearch Wiki:Etiquette Guidelines which has been adopted pretty much "as is" from Wikipedia. Do this article need reviewing with a "Research Wiki" perspective?
- What prompts this question is an issue that has been brought to my attention this week (see User talk:Cottrells). One contributor feels that a second contributor has came along adding content without any consideration of how the page had been developed previously. For example the most recent edit to the article Athelington, Suffolk added a parish description from A Topographical Dictionary of England, but removed the content from that section that had already been added. This is just one example of many.
- I'm not saying that once something has been added it can never be removed. I'm in favour of changing content and not just adding, but removing significant sections of text should be discussed or at least explained in the article talk pages.
- We must find a better way of helping/guiding contributors to work together and not at cross purposes. --Steve (talk| contribs) 16:46, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
