The last time I viewed or updated this page, 17 Dec 2012.

Family Pages

Cowans

• Go through the Sullivan County, Tennessee land and property records at FamilySearch for the Cowan side of the family.
• Add obituaries from Bristol Herald Courier (Sullivan County Obituaries) to their respective people (Tennessee & Virginia) [Cowans]
• Create a Disambiguation page for Robert Cowan, b. 1744 (similar to the one for David Cowan) and link to Robert Cowan research.

Sears

• Disambiguation page for Stephen James Sears

Person Pages

• Continue to expand Mary Elizabeth Huyck's family from Hudson-Mowhawk resource, Vol 1, Pg 398.
• Find and link List of early settlers of Rhode Island to their respective people.

Place Pages

Cemeteries

• The never ending Find A Grave... You know what to do there.
• Here's another one... The Rhode Island Historical Cemeteries Transcription Project
• And here... New York Gravestones
• And don't forget... Billion Graves
• Fix more of the Inhabited Places designations on the Sullivan, New York page. Many of them are hamlets which belong under towns.

Source Pages

Newspapers

• Go through all the newspapers at Northern New York Historical Newspapers and make sure each of the newspapers have source pages with repository links to NNYHN.

Obituaries

• Move all names to their respective newspapers from Obituary source, which is way too vague to be a "Source".

Relevance

• Determine the relevance of Historic and Architectural Resources of Portsmouth, Rhode Island: A Preliminary Report. Can this be used as a source on WeRelate? If so, make a source and link it up!

Maintenance

Occupations as Places

Orphaned Pages

An orphaned page is a page without any incoming links. What this means is that unless you know that this page exists, you are not likely to come across it in the natural course of navigation.

Wanted Pages

These are pages that are needing a page, ie., Sources, Places, MySource, etc. Some of these pages don't actually need a page and need to be corrected. See: Occupations as Places as a good example. Each of those come up on the Wanted Pages report and don't need to be pages.

My plan... It's a good plan. So good, it couldn't fail twice.

I'm going to attempt to get rid of at least one entire entry each week (between report runs) and work a bit on the really LARGE link lists, like the 1-10 spots, if possible. Let's see what progress can be made. :D

Here's a not so quick experiment, but will redirecting a "Wanted Page" to a page that does exist take that page off the Wanted Page report? I've entered the page in the spreadsheet as Ella Gray. It's no longer a red link and it changed the entry on the Wanted Page report to one with a line through it. Fabulous!
