New Sons of the American Revolution wiki page
Good morning! My name is Pamela and I work with the FamilySearch Wiki support team. One of our responsibilities is to check changes to the Wiki pages, and I've seen a number of your edits. First of all, thank you very much for your contributions! They will certainly improve the Wiki and help people with their family history research.

I noticed that you recently created a new Sons of the American Revolution wiki article. Since much of this information looks to be the same as the information under the SAR section on our existing "DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) and SAR (Sons of the American Revolution)" page, I am guessing your intention is to create a new, separate page for the SAR? This is a great idea - is there anything we can do to help you, for example, in ensuring the page is linked to the same pages as the existing DAR and SAR wiki page, formatting, assigning appropriate categories, etc?

Thanks again for your contributions!

Hey Pamela - I hadn't meant to create one at first, but noticed that the DAR had a separate page, and the option to create one kept appearing, so I figured I better do this since someone else probably will if I don't. Connecting other mentions to this page would be great, so feel free when you see a connection can be made. Someone has been making several changes since I created the various entries - including on the Kentucky Libraries and Archives page - but in their edits, my photo got moved to the lower section under state libraries. I tried my best to move it back, but the only way I could achieve this was to shift photo alignment to the right. It looks fine, but you may want to note that I left the Georgia archives where it shifted - also in the lower state libraries section. Personally, I don't think this entry for the archives in Atlanta should be at the top of the page - it should be shifted to the regional list since it is not actually in Kentucky. But I didn't create that one, so I'll leave that to the powers that be. Just FYI, if you can see my real name - I added all of the SAR pages/entries because I'm the new Library Director for the national library here in Louisville. My goal is to keep the information consistent across the wiki. Looks like we didn't have much of an entry at all until I created them, so that's an automatic improvement! Thanks!

Hi Cheri, Congratulations of being the new director! That's very exciting! Keeping information updated and improved in the FS Wiki is a definite goal, so I'm happy you will be keeping an eye on the information about your facility.

I am the one who made the recent edits on the Kentucky Archives and Libraries page. The page layout and alignment was completely out of whack. I admit I did not notice the shift of the photo of your facility as I was looking at the overall alignment at the top of the page. So thank you for moving that back. I think it looks great where it is. It's not really a bug causing the issue you mentioned; it's because the Kentucky sidebar on the right will force the photo to be moved below it. However, I'm not sure what you mean about the Georgia Archives photo...it's right next to that entry, and it looks fine to me. The Georgia Archives is listed under Online Resources instead of in the Statewide section because it is a National Archives, and the explanatory text states that it contains records from Kentucky as well as other states.

I will do my best to make sure pages are linked where they should be. Thank you again for your contributions!
