There is a problem with the wording of the third paragraph (only one sentence) under Templates. It reads "Before creating a template, click on the what templates already exist." I think it needs to be reworded.[[User:StroudIL|StroudIL]] 01:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC)stroudil[[User:StroudIL|StroudIL]] 01:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC) | There is a problem with the wording of the third paragraph (only one sentence) under Templates.

== A few suggestions == | |||
I suggest that the lists of LDS Wards that appear on some of the Utah County pages be moved to specific pages for LDS Wards for each county and that if we are going to have a list of Wards that either they be further identified or the types of records they might have be identified. The lists do not seem helpful otherwise. For example, what was the date the Ward was organized, where can the historical records be found etc. | |||
I further suggest that the references to the American Indian tribes be made to refer to the actual current name of the tribe. For example, the name "Paiute" is not helpful or correct, the tribal name is "The Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah" from their website. We should be accurate and not use outdated designations. See http://utahpaiutes.org/ | |||
Just some suggestions. | |||
