Moderator/Adopter issues coming to a vote
As you probably already know, FamilySearch launched an Adopt-a-Page program at the Federation of Genealogical Societies conference over the summer. Many groups are signing up to adopt a page. We need your help in order to resolve some important questions about the relative roles that Moderators and Adopters ought to play and how they can work together. These questions and discussions are on the new FamilySearch Wiki Contributors' Corner forum. We are going to hold a vote on these issues by year's end, and the resolutions will change the roles Moderators and Adopters play, so please visit the forum and add your thoughts. Thanks!

Stub Removal
Hi Aberksan

We at the FamilySearch Wiki would like to use this article,Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, for a featured article on the Main Page of the Wiki. However, the word "stub" appears at the very top of the page. If you feel there is enough content to give researchers a good place to work from - we need YOU to remove the word "stub" from the article before we can feature it. Thank you for your consideration.

Stub Removal
Hello Again Aberksan

I just sent you a "Stub Removal" note concerning Avoyelles Parish. I now see that you were a major contributor to the Beauregard Parish. We also need that "Stub" removed---and from any other Parish sites that are in the "Stub" status. Thank you for your help and all you do in the Wiki FamilySearch.

Help Wanted Pages
Annette, The Wiki Support Team is in the process of adding information to Help wanted pages for each state. We are hoping that volunteers will help add content as needed for the state pages. We believe that this can be helpful to the moderators in cutting down on the work needed by you. As we get volunteers who are interested in your state, could you work with them so that they can add the information that you want added and in the way you want it added? I'll add some stubs and wanted pages to the page and you can let us know if you want anything else changed. We would hope that you would help keep the page updated as new pages are created and stubs are enlarged. Louisiana Help Wanted page. Thanks, Lynda averyld 20:47, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
