[edit] Surname article pages

I see a couple of them listed. I disagree there. See Category talk:Surname stubs. Robin Patterson 06:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

You mean like the Putnam surname page itself? -AMK152^{(talk • contribs}) 14:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Are you proposing that we create article pages for information on a certain surname? Perhaps a better example is [1] this revision of the Ferguson article. -AMK152^{(talk • contribs}) 15:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Glossary

Not convinced by the reasoning. Where is this index page that is supposedly easier to look through than a category of similar length? Robin Patterson 09:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Terms are found here: Help:Editing (for wiki stuff) and here: Help:Genealogy for Genealogy stuff. There are links also. -AMK152^{(talk • contribs}) 13:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Neither of those links is at present the sort of index page that would be easier to use than a category. The second one has no such list, though it invites the reader to go to "Abbreviations and acronyms" OR "Definitions and methods"; by the time the reader reached that, he or she might be wishing there were a way to find a puzzling word just by entering it in the search box, not having to guess which class of help it belonged to (perhaps wrongly, because the "Genealogy" one includes "HTML"!) and then jump to other pages. Maybe the suggested alternative pages need more work done on them. Until we really have something that's quick to refer to, Category:Glossary is doing no harm sitting waiting to see if it can be useful. Robin Patterson 14:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:NL - COA.png

I'm not convinced we should delete that image. Maybe it needs more checking of exactly what it is - country or Royal House, maybe? Robin Patterson 13:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Closer look suggests that the template was on it when PhloxBot imported it. Our evaluation could differ from WP's. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 02:53, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
