Suggestions to make record clear and searchable:
Hello HawkBlade,

In perusing the candidates for Featured Articles (FAC), I noticed that you were the original contributor and might still have an interest in improving the article, "England Births and Christenings."

Here is my main question and suggestion: I wondered to what "Index" one is referring throughout the article in general and in various categories. The records would be more easily understood and searchable if "this index" or "the record", was clearly delineated. The reader can only surmise that "the record" or "index" is connected with the "England Births and Christenings," If the reader arrived at a particular heading, the reference would be unclear and confusing. I certainly do not wish to take upon myself to interpret the originators' references, so would you help and others who created the article help clarify? Your help and hard work are always appreciated. Glo

Post script:

Apparently, I am still learning. As indicated by the first two paragraphs of the link to Known Issues, the Family History Records Collections "you all" or "ya'll" (as we say in Texas) have included in the system were entered years ago before the benefit of the current technology. As indicated, "what you see is what you get" was the philosophy. I suppose that eventually information will be updated anyway. Will that be within the wiki or as a FHL project? Glo

Headings on County Pages for Utah
Hi HawkBlade124,

We appreciate the discussions and decisions made by a community of experts and interested parties regarding headings on the county pages especially for New York and Illinois, We want to adopt many of those changes and adapt some specifically for Utah. Will you please review the page for FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah County Headings county headings in Utah and make comments on its discussion page?

Some volunteers for WikiProject Utah have already begun adapting the county pages. Your great suggestions will be implemented later, and we need to move now to prepare for a big push in January 2012.

Making your comments on the discussion page will allow for transparency, progress and improvement.

Thank you Wilma Adkins, WikiProject Utah manager; Marilyn Markham and Patsy Hendrickson, content specialists; and Dawne Hole and (Joy) Wyzer17, communications and volunteers liaisons.

Category does not match / category in wiki
Hi HawkBlade124,

I wanted to use your photo of the burning house; however you do not site your source for the photo and the wiki does not allow you to make a unspecified category.

Thank you, however, for your great effort.

Kent Land Tax page
Please see England, Kent, Land Tax Assessments (FamilySearch Historical Records) edits. You may also find the discussion page interesting. I have edited your reference to the 1841 census; in rural parts of the county it may be possible to link settled occupancy in one place; in the industrial development of towns this is often difficult and as you will gather from the discussion the Waypoints need detailed explanation for several lathes and hundreds. It may also be useful to place industrial expansion into the record description as it significantly affects the Land Tax records due to movement of population 1780-1832.Our colleague has edited to describe the record and changes in appearance of the images that can now be seen; the "borough of" images need a content table to link them to parish pages; we await response on that question.

Email notifications
Elder Fuller, I think you were having problems with notifications on watched pages. If that is still the case, would you please give me the URL of one of your watched pages so that I can pass it to the tech guys. Also, please check your preferences and see if the option for emails is grayed out or not. Thanks.averyld 14:55, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I am the one that counts the statistics each month for the FamilySearch Historical Records Wiki. But, here is one of the pages:

 * Elder Fuller, are you getting any notifications now? We have reports that others are starting to get them. averyld 14:32, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

I am still grayed out. I need an email verification to get it working again. This is the message: E-mail VALIDATION REQUIRED TO EDIT: Enables others to contact you through your user or user_talk page without needing to reveal your identity.

So, no I am not getting the notifications.

HawkBlade124 14:36, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Looks like we're all getting that message but I've passed on that your button is still grayed out. averyld 18:29, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thank you again :)

HawkBlade124 18:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Will you check once again on the staging site to see if the notifications look right? They think they have it fixed and are planning a release for tomorrow. Thanksaveryld 19:36, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

My notification settings look right on the site. You are very welcome, and thank you!

Category: Japan FamilySearch Historical Records
Elder Fuller, the Emigration Records from Japan page has a category on it that is in red because the category hasn't been activated yet. Would you please check it and see if you need that category, if it's going to be used more than once? If it's not a necessary category, it could be deleted. We're trying to clean up categories in a big project. It appears that the category is in a template on the Emigration page. Thanks! averyld 19:44, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

wikiprocedure website.
Hi HawkBlade124,

I am a member of the FamilySearch Wiki Support Team. Noticed you put the Url back in for the wikiprocedure site on the Zimbabwe, Death Records (FamilySearch Historical Records) page. This site only gives links to present day procedures for the living. We have removed all of these links from over 250 pages. Thank you for all the work and just wanted you to know how this site works. Sandralpond 23:03, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
