Bill has put together some documents on genealogy acronyms, and some other conventions used by genealogists.  


I noticed that folks uploading images are leaving out crucial information- but then I noticed, there was no "how to tutorial" to help people get started.  I lifted a document from Commons for such a tutorial.  Doubtless it can be whittled down and Commons sort of focus on some details will need to be changed, but please have a look: [[Genealogy:First Steps/Image quality and description]].  Comments are welcome.  I think we need a full "First Steps" tutorial for Genealogy wikia.  We aren't entitled to grumble about folks not following conventions if we never made it obvious to them what those conventions/ suggestions are.

:I've given it a link to [[Help:Images]], which looks to me like a "how to tutorial". [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 05:33, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

:Now I've linked that page from [[MediaWiki:Uploadtext]] and included a bold warning about licensing there. [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 11:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think we can use SVG here yet. [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 11:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
