Please - everybody - look at least once at Genealogy:Year page contents/model, then at 1966 to see it in action.
Before I copy that to hundreds of pages, I'd like input from all of you on what else would be worth including as a standard link or heading and what (if anything) shouldn't be there.
Comments below, please (because subpage-talk-pages are a bit hard to find and work with). Robin Patterson 02:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Now refined a bit (having seen in practice a few serious flaws!) and drafted similar model for categories. Robin Patterson 05:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Comments and suggestions
I looked this over a bit. There's a heading labeled "==Events of relevance to genealogy=="
I'm not sure what that's intended to ecompass. I don't really think this is intended as a listing of things relevant to genealogy per se. What would that be? Things like, "publication of the first Family History", publication of the BCG "Standards of Proof"? Probably not what was intended.
What I think was meant was a list of historical events that would have relevance for peoples lives, with implications for family history. For example, the Norman Conquest in 1066, the founding of Jamestown, Va, or the Fall of the Sung Dynasty, etc.
Or is this meant to capture things like DOB's, as in "1767 Birth of John Smith (1767-1842)" Bill 12:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
