Help is Needed

Idea #1

There are several articles throughout FamilySearch Wiki that refer to the Periodical Source Index (PERSI). Help improve the content by linking all the articles that discuss PERSI to the complete Periodical Source Index (PERSI) article that already exists in the Wiki. To find all the articles that discuss PERSI, type the term "persi" in the search box and click the Search button.

Idea #2

Help build the Danish content by participating in one of the following projects:

• FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Articles Needing Revision
• FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Directories
  
• FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Jurisdictions
  
• FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Lægd Numbers after 1869
• FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Newspapers
• FamilySearch Wikiproject: Danish Orphanages

Discussions

There is an ongoing discussion about the development of record-type articles. The two discussion points include: (1) The headings that should be used in record-type articles, and (2) The pros and cons of having long article or short articles with multiple links between them. This discussion is taking place within the context of the Maryland Newspapers article. Join the discussion on the talk page at: Talk:Maryland Newspapers.
