Lebanon
Kathi, Why would you put Maronite Churches in the US on a page about Lebanon? I think that needs removed. What do you think? You are doing good work. One other thing, please put a category on each new page you create. If you need help contact me. I like your choice of countries to work on.Sjkennedy 12:38, 11 May 2015 (UTC) Another note: where did you find the Lebanon History information? It should have a footnote or link in case someone wants t learn more.

Lebanon
These pages look good. You also need a source under Languages. Where did those facts come from? Sjkennedy 18:11, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Albania
Hi Hanna,

I think the problems have been corrected. Let me know if you encounter any additional issues. Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire at one time, so that applies. With very best wishes. Murphynw 20:34, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Adding or changing categories
Hi Hanna,

Thanks for all the work. Just one suggestion. Please copy and paste the categories you are adding to pages. Have had to correct many this week because of incorrect spelling or capitalization. Thanks again Sandralpond 02:27, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Also the following are not categories Category:Uploading Images and Category: Research and Methodology. If you want them to be new categories we need to decide what category they go in. Sandralpond 02:46, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Hanna

Thanks again for this work. I was the one that had to do this kind of work alone for almost 4 years. So great to have all of you doing so many things to improve the Wiki. Thanks again. Sandralpond 12:36, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

"Category:Immigration Online Genealogy Records"
Can we delete this blank page? Sjkennedy 11:50, 5 October 2015 (UTC) Yes, seems like immigration records ought to be sorted by where people are immigrating to. When we do the new Articles by topic, we might decide we want it back. But I'd rather restore it if we need it, than have it kicking around and we never notice again that it's empty. Thanks for taking care of that. As far as I'm concerned any time you see an empty category, if it's been sitting empty for a year or so, take it down. Same thing if you find a category with one article, and the article is the same name as the category, bump the article up a level to the parent category, and take that category down. I see a lot of that.Hanna5974 17:45, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
