User talk:CK Whipple

As a consultant in the US/Canada Reference Unit of the Family History Library, I have been assigned to the vital records team which creates pages and content for finding birth, marriage and death records for each state.

Our goal is to create a format that is useful, informative and invites contribution from the community to enrich the content. Eventually, we would like the wiki pages to be THE PLACE to go for genealogical information.

A general format for vital records pages was first created for Alabama. We began working on pages in alphabetical order, but other states have been addressed as new members have joined our team with an interest in a particular state. We encouraged your contributions in the areas you have studied and researched. Many contributors have gone before us and added content to the wiki. We are most grateful and hope to integrate content from all sources in such a way as to enhance the wiki users experience.

Underlined text and wiki-signiture
Hi, I had a look for the underlined text you mentioned for Alabama Birth, Marriage, and Death Records. There was one phrase "do not list the name of the child", that was underlined. Looking at the wikitext it looks like the intention was just to underline the do not, so that is what I have done.

As far as signing your name, to do this in wikitext type ~. I normally use --~ just to space it out from the last part of the message. --Steve 22:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the underlining - not sure where it came from. I will try the signature and see if it works! Ok, didn't work. Do I need to put the username etc and hand made time stamp?


 * I enclosed the tilde mark in  tags otherwise it would have converted it to my signiture. Type ~ 4 times and it will work. --Steve 06:03, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
