Comments on new pages
Kurt, We welcome new contributors and see that you like to help clean up the Wiki, which we also welcome. I have added comments to several of your pages, along with templates. I hope you will understand the reasoning behind the comments, etc. after you read the explanation of what is and isn't acceptable in the Wiki. Because the Wiki is fully open to the public, not just LDS people, certain material is not acceptable. Also, we cannot use material that promotes a paid site, such as World Vital Records, even thought it is a great site and the video they've produced is very well done. We also can't use the site as a place to talk about particular families. This site is meant to be a place where people can learn about how to do research. I hope I haven't offended you in any way. Please let me know your thoughts on these subjects.Lynda 17:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

==Messed up links (your messages to Kathy Hannah)

In patrolling I came across all the pages you cited issues with and your comment. I wanted to let you know that she is not deliberately changing all the links. I have talked to her about this and apparently as she is trying to change the categories on pages the replace text procedure she is using is scattering the replacement text all over the pages. We will roll all the changes back so the pages are in their original state. Thank you for catching these.
