Canada
Hi Fran, I noticed you were adding the provinces of Canada into the Browse by Country. Is that what we are really wanting to do? I would think we would only have countries in that article and no lower juristiction. The country should have the lower juristiction, like the states in the USA.

 * Thanks for the note about the changes to the list of countries. I was given the task this sprint to make the browse by locality more intuitive, especially for Canada. In fact that was the only suggestion for changes to the browse by locality. Now that Canada is done, I'm not sure what other improvements are needed. Anyway, the task was added to our backlog of work to be done. The task was also prioritized and high enough on the list of things to do that I was able to pick it up and get it done this sprint (Nov 13-Dec 9). Franjensen 19:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I am not sure that adding the Canadian provinces to the country browsing is the best things. It can open a can of worms. Maybe that should be discussed in the forum and/or users' group. This is obviously just my opinion at this time. Sorry, I forgot to add my signature to my previous post. I have added it in. Thomas Lerman 19:57, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Maryland Cemeteries links.
Saw you had taken the cemeteries area for the barn raising. Found that Google has quite a few links related to Maryland and its cemeteries.

Some links are to rootsweb.com and intermen.net, but there is one to the state office that handles some Government oversight of them. There's an African-American cemeteries in Maryland page as well that will work for other parts of the wiki, not just Maryland.

 * Thanks. This information will be helpful. Franjensen
 * Found some more links to cemeteries on idreamof.com. For an example, see the Dorcester County MD page, I found one, but when I found it was on the idreamof.com aggregator page, I replaced that with the page with all the cemetery transcription links to Dorcester County.  Most are from the USGenweb archives, but there may be some that are not.   JamesAnderson 03:25, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Transferring old FHL documents task page.
Typo found in one of the task document links, was missing the second ] in it, once fixed it is red so you'll see it, might be that the linked to page is not up yet?
