Talk:Albany County, New York

New York State Censuses
Saw the format to be good idea for the state censuses but can I suggest a change since it is county level?

Delete "County name" in first county, and in the place, line by line, "FHL", "FamilySearch" and "NYSL" and under each subsequent column, mark yes or no with Yes being linked? There is possibility of another site having the images, too, making it easier to go this way of format instead of current one, with one simple step of quick adding line. dsammy 21:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I am sorry to jump in on this conversation. Would the discussion page for that article be a good place to discuss this? I think a sample would be a good idea. Is this the page you are referring to? Thomas Lerman 21:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I am in the middle of helping someone who is working on that page. She wanted to learn how to do a few things in the Wiki, and we were using that section of the New York Census page to train. She is actually working on developing the content on in that section and we were discussing some ideas for improving the table. Thanks Dsammy for pointing out a few ideas for improvement - that's exactly what we were talking about. I also agree this discussion should have gone on the Discussion page - that way anyone who has another idea can also join in on the conversation. Any objections to copying these comments to the Discussion page for the article? Franjensen 22:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC) No objection from me!  The format can be used for few others states like Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington and South Dakota with several years of state/territorial censuses. dsammy 23:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I worked up a format that is more concise and in a clear way. See dsammy's Sandbox. dsammy 07:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
