replacement logo for Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County
Hi, I uploaded an image of a logo a few days ago seeking approval to use it on the wiki page for Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County. Haven't heard back whether it is approved or not. When might I expect to hear from you? Jtarolli (talk) 11:51, 4 August 2023 (MDT)

Uploading handouts to a wiki
On the FamilySearch Research Wiki Page "Strengthening a Genealogical Society on FamilySearch Wiki" under the heading "Fortify meetings and training" it says to feel free to upload handouts on the wiki. My question is if our Society is advertising a speaker or instructor on the wiki and the speaker's handout copyright status is "all rights reserved," can we still upload the handout? I'm asking because our Society's website currently lacks functionality to upload documents. Fortify meetings and training Societies are constantly looking for new content to present at their meetings. FamilySearch Wiki is growing at a rate of over 1500 pages per month, so it is a great place to find information about what’s new in: record collections data sets software methodology You can also announce your society's training events in the wiki’s locality pages, as well as your society’s wiki page. Feel free to post presentations, handouts, and homework assignments on the wiki. Jtarolli (talk) 15:40, 7 August 2023 (MDT)


 * Hi Jtarolli! You are correct that we only allow uncopyrighted information from the public to be on the Wiki - including images/documents. This statement is misleading on this article and I apologize for that. We'll be sure to fix it and be more clear. You could use a creative commons license that has some limitations that are pretty close to copyright. The big difference is it allows them to download the handout from the Wiki and does not require your permission to do so. But it still protects the integrity of your handout. It's: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Non-commercial, no derivative. I'm afraid that's the only thing we can do.  Batsondl (talk) 13:18, 8 August 2023 (MDT)
