The Utah county headings were created some time ago, and now need to be "remodeled," so to speak. That is the purpose of this task. It requires attention to detail, but is otherwise an easy task to accomplish.

 The first few weeks of the Utah project we will agree on a model style, and create at least one example page of it. To keep the project moving forward, <u>'''NO'''</u> style changes nor further discussion of changes will be allowed after that for the remainder of the project (tentatively until TBD 2012). Participants are expected to follow that style during the project.
 Style includes but is not limited to: <br>
 *Use of standard Utah templates
 *Headings (anything that would appear in a table of contents) match with FHL Catalog subject headings as much as possible Example: [[Talk:Beaver County, Utah|Beaver County, Utah]]
 *Heading levels: use levels three, four or five; avoid levels one and two<br>
 *Order of presentation<br>
 *Table of contents style or position (or lack of TOC)<br>
 *image, table, or template positions or size; prefer sharp images relevant to the topic on the page<br>
 *font<br>
 *bold<br>
 *italic for titles of published books<br>
 *underline<br>
 *indentation<br>
 *bullets. Items under headings on county pages will be bulleted lists. Information '''describing the headings''' themselves will not be bulleted.<br>
 *numbering<br>
 *citations in footnote style
 **Please use the '''full''' ''Chicago Manual of Style'' footnote style (modified):
