Talk:User group meeting & agenda 18 November 2008

Proposed agendum item: Disappearing written articles about How-to-Wiki. Some of us have learned to love reading and hate videos and prefer something in print. Diltsgd

I have no love for the videos as long as they are NOT captioned. Personally I don't care for the videos, preferring the print. dsammy 05:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Family History Library Call Numbers
It appears we are going to still have problems with the adding of FHL call numbers to every book and film set in the Library. See (North Dakota Military Records and Oklahoma Military Records as examples.) And it appears that its our own missionaries that are adding all the call numbers to the Wiki. My understanding was that we were not going to repeat the catalog in the Wiki. We need to discuss what we should and should not be doing in this regard and then hold to that convention in all we do. If we are not going to add the call numbers, and things remain as they are going, the Moderators will have their hands full just removing the things that shouldn't be added. Or has something changed that I don't know about?

In most cases, should not be added. At least one exception would be probate records, where the catalog does not tell what's in each roll such as Worcester County, Massachusetts and Rensselaer County, New York whereas we already know what is in Madison County, New York probate records. I know what is in each roll of these counties. If the catalog itself is clear about what's in each roll, then the numbers should NOT be added to the Wiki. dsammy 09:45, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
