Charlemagne (747-814)[]
Most of the work done on Familypedia ties back to him!
Sarah Olderen (1816-?)[]
Good example of genealogical sleuthing. Good to have a selection of women on the list, because less is written about them in historical works. But not using info page. And it illustrates, perhaps unfortunately, how an infobox and a table of contents can make the first view of a page a little off-putting. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 12:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
George Burgess (1829-1905)[]
Splendid long colourful article, including most of the standard info page tricks. Should be high on the list. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 12:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Willem-Alexander van Oranje-Nassau (1967)[]
Good one. Fairly famous non-English person, whose page could be a good candidate. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 12:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
