I am working on counties in Ohio (primarily the [[Connecticut Western Reserve]]), where most counties' created dates are ''not'' the same as the date they were organized and their government began functioning. Can we add an optional "Organized Date" field under the "Created Date" field? - [[User:LeeTHawkins|LeeTHawkins]] 13:37, 15 August 2011 (UTC) | I am working on counties in Ohio (primarily the [[Connecticut Western Reserve]]), where most counties' created dates are ''not'' the same as the date they were organized and their government began functioning.

:Hi Lee, the date option for the infobox is the '''founded date''', but there is an option to define a different label using the parameter <tt>founded title</tt>, however I think you are asking for two date fields. In my mind having two dates would require some explanation why that is and therefore probably should be included in the main text of the article. Can you give some particular examples, which may better help me understand what you want to achieve. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] ([[User talk:Cottrells|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]) 16:20, 19 August 2011 (UTC) | |||

I would like to suggest we add years for birth/marriage/death/land/etc. records to a section on the Infobox, since these are some of the most likely information to be hunted for. This would make that more standard information on each county, which it should be. - [[User:LeeTHawkins|LeeTHawkins]] 13:37, 15 August 2011 (UTC) | I would like to suggest we add years for birth/marriage/death/land/etc. records to a section on the Infobox, since these are some of the most likely information to be hunted for.
