What's your best work? And your favorites from others?
Hey there Fran! I'm searching for the wiki's best content to highlight it during a presentation I'm doing soon. Will you link me to a couple articles you've contributed to that you are most pleased with? Also, could you link me to your favorite article(s) written by others? Thanks!

Location (namespace) for policies
I ask you the question as you seem to have been involved in both. On November 24, 2008 you seemed to be involved in a sprint task to move policy pages to the policy namespace, but then on June 15, 2009 you created the article FamilySearch Wiki:Policies quoting moving policies content to the familysearch wiki namespace. Do you know, has it been decided to do away with the Policy namespace? --Steve 16:25, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, we will be moving the policy and guideline pages to the FamilySearch Wiki namespace. I've only started the process and have a long way to go. As far as doing away with the Policy namespace, I believe the namespace will be removed, but I'm not positive right now. Franjensen 17:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Where should wikiproject contributors communicate?
People who work on writing projects on the wiki are asking for an online venue they can use to talk about...


 * how to organize projects,
 * how and where to recruit contributors
 * how to motivate project members
 * how to track progress on projects
 * Manual of Style issues that we need to settle to avoid rework
 * ...and other stuff.

Could you go to the wiki feedback forum and give your opinion as to what tool(s) we should choose to communicate? The thread where we will discuss this is Which tools for wikiproject contributors to communicate? Ritcheymt 16:24, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Please vote on new name for Reviewer role
The wiki community is voting on a proposed renaming of the Reviewer role so that we can give the role to anyone we trust to upload their own images without review. If you care about the name of this role, please discuss the issue and cast your vote at FamilySearch Wiki talk:Reviewer. Ritcheymt 16:47, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
