Utah Thank you!
I see you have been busy! Thanks for your great help. Just saw Duchesne County. Perfect! AdkinsWH 01:15, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

South Korea
The new content on the wiki home page for South Korea looks like it needs a spelling change. The word providences should probably be provinces. That would make the home page content match the wiki page for South Korea. Darris G. Williams 15:00, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Summit County changes
Joy, way back in December you took off some website from the county page because they were already listed. Good catch!. Sorry it too me so long to notice. AdkinsWH 22:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Summit stake page
Joy, Summit Stake, Utah LDS Wards and Branches page is marked for deletion but it links to the Summit County, Utah page. Where should the link from the county page go? averyld 16:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Joy, you do such a great job with the work you do on the main page! Thank you so much. Just saw the section for Help needed. It looks wonderful.averyld 20:23, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Joyful one: thanks for all your great changes with Beaver Stake, and for your great leadership of the Wiki Always Team. AdkinsWH 04:37, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Joy I love the main page today with China, Ireland and Colorado! Thank you so much! HoleDL 5 Nov 2012

Joy, no problem :) Do you remember what page I edited that you were talking about on my user talk page?  I usually only edit the indexing pages, except I think for the Alberta Cemeteries where I changed the link to the Medicine Hat Hillside Cemetery cause the city had changed it.  April Robertson - Admin/Owner of Facebook Unofficial Share Batch Group 19:09, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Joy, I love the minutes. Tomorrow, I'll show them as they are. I hear you have been sick. (You'll downplay this, I'll bet.) Surely hope you get a lot better. I was tickled to realize it was Darlene Hagberg who attended last week. (Didn't know who "Darlene" was at the time.) I'm going to try calling you. Won't take too much time on your cell, though. Sure do appreciate (read love) you! Wilma

I like it, Joy. Do you think the picture looks better now? So glad you're making progress on turning a heading white!. This is fun, isn't it! Just wish we could brainstorm together even more. We come up with good stuff. AdkinsWH 02:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Joy! Did Carol Moss tell you how people are LOVING the experimental page? How did you know to change that border. It sure looks good. You and the work you do, are WONDERFUL. Missed seeing you today. Am trying to email you a picture to use for Beaver and Millard counties at the top. Carol sent it to me. AdkinsWH 03:13, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Joy! I'm crazy in love with the panorama you added! WHAT A GREAT ADDITION! Eye-popping. AdkinsWH 18:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I get excited too easily! The experimental page was shared with the "big community" today. Some really good comments came from it. Then I got the notice about your color changes. How great this is to work with you. AdkinsWH 21:16, 17 January 2012 (UTC) (I'll email you separately)

Hi, Joy! Are you available tomorrow? I'll plan to be there from 10:30-11:30 or 12. Does that work for you? Are you being allowed to continue on the Utah project? I have not wanted to interfere, what with changes happening. What changes ARE happening? Would surely enjoy another "brainstorm" with you and others. AdkinsWH 21:33, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

I certainly hope you two had a wonderful Christmas! want to know the "who's and what's" on Wednesday.

Well, after a long delay, I finally started on some of the ideas with you and Sister Hagburg last Wednesday. Something for you and I to play with more. See county sandbox

Here's some icons and colors thought of so far:


 * Those sub-headings in the light blue text box, as we mentioned? (no icon)
 * What about a light bulb icon and the word "Ideas" when we have suggestions--in a yellow text box?
 * What icon and color for "informational stuff"? An FYI?
 * Also what icon and color for "cautions"? (Red is pretty dark)

I loved doing this with you and Sister Hagburg last week! But I surely ignored Sister Steven's requests. Hope things worked out for her. AdkinsWH 19:37, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

You are finding the most wonderful images, Joy! I like the Kiva -- thought it was a huge dinasaur print at first!. AdkinsWH 20:24, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Joy! Thanks for the new image on the Utah project page!AdkinsWH 17:52, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Joy, Where do I like my messages? What I need to do is create myself a sandbox instead of how I have it. I really like messages at the top. Just go ahead and put them above my practice area, which I will move. Thanks again so very, very much!AdkinsWH 22:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Joy! (to the world) You did an awesome job yourself on Beaver County. Right on! I had one other change forgotten previously, so just went ahead and made it on all counties. Thanks for your words of encouragement -- and pointing out areas I don't explain well enough. You are in the right place at the right time for me! You -- and your attitude -- are just right. Keep up the great work. AdkinsWH 22:39, 7 December 2011 (UTC) PS do you want me to post to the end instead of the beginning?

Joy, (Great picture, by the way!) Thanks for the posting you have done to Salt Lake. There are a couple of tweaks. Will you call me at 801-278-4806? I'll try getting your number in the meantime. AdkinsWH 20:09, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Joy, Featuring the WikiProject Utah page in November is GREAT! Thank you. AdkinsWH 15:14, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Joy, would it be possible for you in your role as a member of the Welcoming Committee to offer contributors some guidance about the use of Copyright site material; British History Online is a site claiming copyright which moderators have objected to. See Cromwell, Nottinghamshire for an example of a time consuming series of edits needed to restore image captions and remove copyright material. I have asked the contributor responsible if they can rework some of their edits and their user talk page contains some examples of Nottinghamshire pages which have been corrected for them to work on. The work involved in re-editing allows the Nottinghamshire team and others to add appropriate content but it does deflect us from planned work for the county. Thank you for your help in supporting the contributor concerned. Royalsarah

WELCOME!!!! to the " WELCOMING COMMITTEE "

Hi Joy,

Much thanks to you, each of you, who have spent time in the Wiki with our authors and editors and all else that you do. It has helped the Wiki to grow. The Research Wiki is in its first years but it is growing and becoming a wonderful tool that helps people find answers and costs only in effort to search on their part. We want to improve the process for Welcoming new authors and editors in the Wiki. I want to make each member of the committee aware of some improvements coming in June: • We will have one Welcome Message Template designed to be more individualized. We hope that you will use this new welcome message. Steve Cottrell will be helping us with this. • Please read more carefully what the contributor or editor has put on the page. The current steps listed for reviewing the contributions are good to follow. • Avoid adding the welcome message before following the steps outlined. • Additional items will be added in June to help the committee members know how to review the articles authored and edited by our wiki users. .• The "question template" will stay the same.

Dawne

Please put a welcome to the Wiki to Brennejb., Thank-you Sandralpond 15:57, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Change of image`
Hi Joy, I've changed the image used on the page FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject which was also being used on the Main Page as it is being featured this week from the one that represents help/support to one with a better representation of projects. --Steve 19:12, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Removed Stub
Joy,

Have removed the stub on Humboldt County, Nevada .  Thanks for all the great work. Sandralpond 16:51, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Award on Jbparker userpage
Hi Joy, I noticed that you've added an award to Jimmy's userpage. What you've actually done is added a copy of the whole template. To add an award just use the code   adding the citation phrasing you wish. An example is give on the template page. --Steve 16:16, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

New York Wiki Project Page
Linda and I were wondering why you changed the picture we just barely put in? Linda is from New York and thought it would be a good idea to portray a part of New York as well as the city. So, we put in a picture of the countryside just an hour or so ago. And now, lo and behold, suddenly it is changed. So, hopefully you won't mind that we are changing it back. We are smiling while writing this, so I hope you know we aren't upset, just think it is funny that it happened so quickly.

Germany Wiki
The major work will not commence until at least Jan 2012 per the moderator, Baerbel Johnson. Until then, there will be minor corrections and additions as needed. Dsammy 18:50, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Headings on County Pages for Utah
hI wYZER17,

We appreciate the discussions and decisions made by a community of experts and interested parties regarding headings on the county pages especially for New York and Illinois, We want to adopt many of those changes and adapt some specifically for Utah. Will you please review the page for FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah County Headings county headings in Utah and make comments on its discussion page?

Some volunteers for WikiProject Utah have already begun adapting the county pages. Your great suggestions will be implemented later, and we need to move now to prepare for a big push in January.

Making your comments on the discussion page will allow for transparency, progress and improvement. Thank you Wilma Adkins, WikiProject Utah manager; Marilyn Markham and Patsy Hendrickson, content specialists; and Dawne Hole and Wyzer17 (Joy), communications and volunteers liaisons.


 * "RE: Bo and I have just finished "letters" to all 2011 Utah contributors. I will work on the excel sheet with all the data you have requested. Timelines are being worked on and I'll get the GenWeb links completed by the end of next week." Wow, Joy! What progress you, Bo, and all have made! I am THRILLED! AdkinsWH 18:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Featured Article Committee members

Image of Boyle Abbey
Hi Joy,

I see you have add the an image of Boyle Abbey to the page Boyle County, Kentucky and in the featured article section of the Main Page. is in Boyle, County Roscommon and not in Kentucky. I do not believe the county in Kentucky was named after the town in Ireland or the Abbey, so I wonder why you don't use the county courthouse image already on the page on the Main Page rather than one that is misleading? --Steve 19:45, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Image of Bell Co. KY
Joy, the image on the main page is being questions for source information. Can you add the info box to the image with the copyright information to this image? If not, it probably should be removed and I'll delete it. Sorry about this.Lynda 23:52, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Bell County Image
Hi Linda,

Thank you for bringing this Bell County image to my attention. I did not upload the image, but I will look this evening and see if I can find the source. I am guilty of most errors - and should have checked - but found the image already on the article's page. This article is scheduled to come off tomorrow. I would appreciate a chance to see if I can source it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and being gracious.

joy 02:49, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Perfect image description!
The image description you provided for File:800px-StrawResSunset.JPG is perfect! Well done. Thank you, thank you, thank you. DiltsGD 15:34, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

FHL Image
Joy, would you look at this Image:Family History Library.PNG|image and see the comments about it. You might want to change it on the page, or get the copyright information into the info template. Thanks for all your hard work! Lynda 20:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Main Page Image
Joy, you probably watch the Main page, but David has added a comment on the Talk page about an image you have there now. Thought you might want to check it, if you haven't already. Main Page talk.Lynda 16:23, 28 March 2012 (UTC) Looks like you already took it off! You're just too fast.

Another image
Joy, there's one more image that David marked. Will you let me know if you want to add more citations to it or should I just delete it, or what? Sorry to be a pain.Lynda 21:18, 23 April 2012 (UTC) Oops. Forgot the link. Tyree

The image you uploaded, does not have a source link that works. We need to see the page where you found the image. Also, we need to know the date and person who gave you permission to use the image in our Wiki (quotes of their own words preferred).
