 * Wiki Articles that link to Historical Records collections in FamilySearch don't seem to answer the most important question: where would I find the original record that lead to this index entry? Example: Illinois, Cook County Vital Records (FamilySearch Historical Records).  The invitation for users to contribute information about the collection to the wiki article is nice, but how would any user actually know where the data is coming from?  The text speaks to all Cook county records generically, but each collection is different.  Why isn't there a wiki article tied to each individual database? Since the number of Historical Records collections is only going to increase (yipee! love those resources and keep 'em coming!), I think it is increasingly important to provide more specific and relevant information to those who use the collections.  I would love to create a forum thread on this topic.  Since this touches both Historical Records on Beta and the wiki, where should that forumreside? Get Satisfaction (because I can't use Historical Records effectively without better information) or Forums (because the information I'm using is found in the wiki)? Lise 20:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
