Improve the Wiki[edit | edit source]

State topics Blitz. You may have noticed that many state topics pages are being edited. The 1940 Census landing pages are advertizing U.S. state topic Wiki pages (example: California (see right side bar "California Research Topics" and "FamilySearch Wiki Articles"). Staff at the Family History Library are frantically (we we're forewarned this was coming :) ) trying to make sure all these pages are presentable. Things we're trying to fix include: (1) dead links, (2) outdated information, (3) reducing oversized iimages, and (4) repairing reference errors. Volunteers are welcome to help. Contact me if you'd like to help: Danielle Batson.
