Robin's working on African American history. A good search page:

For now, S. Carolina is only one of these available. You do need to know where the person lived. Not many records pre-1870 to find African Americans. This is a step back a bit further in time. It lists many things such as labor contacts, slave owners, etc. Click on 'learn more'...before this it could only be found in US Archives. She also shared her blog

This is one way to Share the Gospel in unusual ways - see http://www.lds.org/church/share?lang=eng

 * Questions from HTML 5 Class (Mondays at 12PM Mountain):


 * Charles absent from today's meeting, but he is aware of issue re: headings (center, font, margin). He fixed Mark's.  Rick and Linda had same issue.

Patrolling and Amdocs Review

 * Did you see anything while patrolling this past week that would be interesting to discuss with the team?


 * 1) Patron response to Welcoming and is there a way to delete their User and User Talk page
 * 2) See what is being touched.
 * 3) Catch potenial attacks

Anomolies Page: ask Steve Cotrel (community counsel and guru) ... a patron came across page while looking for something simple to help with. She contacted us thru amdocs. We really don't know what to do with them - he might know.

Linda will help her with simple things.

LaVera : Someone was upset that someone wrote on their talk page. LaVera tried to help out, but the patron left the Wiki. LaVera erased the "welcome" comment. Now the question is.. Could you take talk page away without affecting the patrons FS /family search tree account. Answer: Persons user names work even if they never signed on to the Wiki. If they submit something to a page, their talk page comes up as a red link. The welcoming committee puts on a welcome templete. But, can we delete user name and talk page, not just erase it? Sandra said she can delete page... even if it is a talk page. Put the delete template on and she will do the honors. Sandra said this does not affect the usability of FS.

Sandra mentioned about someone else one to two months ago thought having a page on the Wiki might compromise their private information.

Robin: 3 "Welcoming" committees. Can we be more cohesive? Welcome new volunteers, contributors, and moderators. Robin Welcoming (Lavera -when see someone with red talk on recent changes, we put templete. There is another list of past participants (don't use that list as much) ...we put welcome on their talk page. We look on their history and make sure their contributions are appropriate for them. ie...are they just doing FHC pages? or something more personal? The template used is personalized to their contributions. - and put on the TALK page)

New Moderator (Myra),

New contributors - not contacted until after welcoming have done their part.

committees - can we combine in some way (LaVera's, Robin's, Myra, Linda)
