Suffolk CDs
Hi Don, It sounds like you've come up with a good project for you and your friends to do. The structure of a parish register online records table has been well defined in the FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject English parishes project. You should not deviate from it, as it is being implemented nationwide in England and has been agreed upon by those involved in the English parishes project.

If you wish to create a separate section for the more difficult to obtain CD editions of the parish register indexes, that would be appropriate. Murphynw 17:44, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Suffolk Navigation
Navigation boxes at the bottom of Wiki pages is a standard feature of Wikipedia and the United States portion of FamilySearch Wiki. It is also a joint decision by Family History Library staff. The navigation boxes are being added by a team of missionaries from the Family History Library. I do not understand how that adding navigation boxes to Suffolk parish pages is disrespectful to your welcome contributions; however, if you would like to raise this complaint to the Wiki Community Council, here is the link: Wiki Community Council.

TOC and NOTOC
I have started to use the TOC and NOTOC on the webpages mentioned above. Those tags move and remove the contents box that is automatically generated when four or more headings appear on a page. Most of the pages are quite short right now so I am using NOTOC on the parish pages. The content box that is automatically generated often appears out of place. I have put comment tags next to it so if someone edits the page they will know what the tags are for

Area Conversion from Acres
Many of the areas noted in gazetteers and histories of parishes and other places are in acres. I have found a website that converts acres to square miles or square kilometers at metric conversions.org Most people are more familar with how large a square mile or kilometer is than an acre. Such as 3592 acres = 5.6 square miles or 14.5 square kilometers

Huntingfield page
You've added a delete template to this page and I'll be happy to do that, but there are a couple pages linked to it and I'd appreciate if you would fix those and get them where you want them first.averyld 17:36, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Swiss pages
Thanks for your note about the Swiss pages.

I struggled with how to label the pages to determine Kirchgemeinde vs. politische Gemeinde, and I followed Denmark/Norway's example and put the word 'parish' to distinguish between a parish and a municipality. Whether or not it's the best way to do it is at this point is really beside the point, as I've created 500+ pages of these for 4 cantons in Switzerland, and I'd prefer the country to be the same across the board for continuity's sake, and I'm not recreating all the pages, and links, and etc. etc. etc. My concern is more about getting the information onto the Wiki first.

The map seems to work; I haven't checked but my only concern would be that the parishes you list actually touch Aarwangen, and to include links to the parish pages on the map. If you want to check out a page I've done more fully in Bern, check out Vechigen. I'd like to create a clickable map like they have on the Norway page, maybe at the Bern level, maybe divide Bern into Bezirks (if only the canton would leave political boundaries alone!).

Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to talk about it further -- gublerjones 12:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
