Reviewer role?
Kara, thanks for the Welcome.

Although I have been editing the Orange County, California, page for a year, yours is the first communication from the powers that be. :-)

I have been tasked to create a new page for the Orange (Calif) Large Multi-Stake FHC. The rather vague instructions were to use Riverton's page as a template. I have created a prototype page, not ready for publication, and I was wondering if there's an appropriate method of having it checked by a reviewer?

I've been trying to digest the style and other articles on how things are to be done, but I'm still a newbie. I don't have audio available, so tutorial videos are not useful. Do you have suggestions about forums, discussions or other sources I may join or monitor to continue to learn? Jimmyk418 18:21, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Quick Note of Appreciation
We wanted to send out a quick letter of appreciation for all your hard work and dedication in getting the FamilySearch Records project off the ground. The information you provide is invaluable to those users who are searching out further information about collections in FamilySearch; it helps them make a deeper connection with their research, especially when it has to do with their own ancestry. It’s your contributions that are keeping the project rolling forward. Thank you.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’d love to hear from you and help you out in any way we can.

Sincerely,

The FamilySearch Records Team User:HoranDM User:LakeCL User:ginabegin

Moderator/Adopter issues coming to a vote
As you probably already know, FamilySearch launched an Adopt-a-Page program at the Federation of Genealogical Societies conference over the summer. Many groups are signing up to adopt a page. We need your help in order to resolve some important questions about the relative roles that Moderators and Adopters ought to play and how they can work together. These questions and discussions are on the new FamilySearch Wiki Contributors' Corner forum. We are going to hold a vote on these issues by year's end, and the resolutions will change the roles Moderators and Adopters play, so please visit the forum and add your thoughts. Thanks!

User Talk Pages Forum Thread
Hi Kara,

I'd love to hear your thoughts about the importance of user pages! Can you take a minute and add your thoughts on the Forum thread I've started? Lise 02:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Kara,

Much thanks to you, for all the time you have spent in the Wiki with our authors and editors and all contributions you make that have 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 in one space 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 changes coming in June: I know you and I spoke on the phone but I wanted to post this as well so you can see waht others are receiving. I think most on the committee are busy doing other things on the wiki. I think it has only been you and Vickie. Now it will be you, and Joy who is a new missionary here.

 We will have another Welcome Message Template designed to be more individualized. The others will be there too but we hope that you will use this new welcome message. Steve Cottrell will be helping with the Template, a special thanks to him. Please read more carefully what the contributor or editor have 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. The question Templates will stay the same.

Kara thanks again for all you do. Dawne 15:07, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
