"Watching" does not equal "Approval" [26 June 2023]

When I "watch" something, it's just as likely to be because I don't approve of it at all, and I want to keep an eye on what's going on. --Mike^Talk 08:09, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Great point. I like using the number of watchers as a proxy for the number of voters, because it avoids my having to do more mucking around in the database, but like you say, not everyone watching the discussion will want to vote for the change. How about if I tell people who want to watch but not vote to add their names to a "Neutral" section?--Dallan 11:11, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

Commenting on suggestions [15 November 2011]

A Suggestion should be like a Topic so people can comment/discuss it in the normal way. There should be an Add Comment option and also an Edit option for each suggestion - not just the generic text edit.

I have comments on some of the suggestions but not obvious how to discuss them.--Jhamstra 11:27, 15 November 2011 (EST)

Each suggestion is a wiki page. Click on the suggestion you want to comment on. You can either "Edit" the suggestion page and add your comment below the original suggestion, which is what most people do, or you could click on the suggestion's talk page and click "Add comment". I encourage you (and everyone) to comment on the suggestions.--Dallan 11:37, 15 November 2011 (EST)

Rejected suggestions [5 June 2012]

Is it worth having a system for removing 'rejected' suggestions? I'm thinking of something like WeRelate:Suggestions/Increase person limit which seems not to have support from the comments. AndrewRT 17:42, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

Yes, but with a notification of rejected requests to all watchers. Sometimes we don't always have the time to reply to suggestions.--Beth 22:24, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

Good idea. On Saturday I'll go through all of the suggestions, archive the ones that have already been implemented (add them to WeRelate:Suggestions/archive), and reject the ones that don't have good support (I'll create a WeRelate:Suggestions/rejected page).

folding text [6 mei 2013]

Question, can easily be placed folding template? (The width should be adjusted) I like to add the short text of the source in the lemma, but beautiful is not. One solution is to folding template. Person:Jakob Bos (3)

Information here will not show until you click the "show" button. It's then hidden by collapsing the section when you press "hide" button. Template:Show wikipedia"

I tried to post here but could not. Even with no change.Template:Show, Template:Uitklappen, Template:Showtext, Template:Uitklaptekst, groet Lidewij 07:48, 12 April 2013 (EDT)

JENNIE BENOIT ??? [25 June 2023]

ALL MY SOURCES I FIND HAVE NO JENNIE BENOIT BORN TO JEAN BAPTISTE BENOIT /ALSO JB BENOIT MD IN 1858. RELIABLE SOURCES SHOW/STATE THAT Clément Dupré WAS THE FIRST BORN CHILD...SOMEONE PUT ON HERE JUST JENNIE BENOIT NOT DATES??? NO SOURCES???? I DONT BELIEVE SHE IS THE CHILD OF JD BENOIT & ONESIA CORMIER....THERE IS NO JENNIE IN THE OBIT /OR THE BDAY CELEB/AD IN NEWSPAPER / I FIND NO JENNIE BENOIT WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THIS FLY!!--Mugsydylan 07:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

I know nothing about this family, but see that there is a newspaper clipping cited on the page that lists Jennie Benoit wife of Huddle little as one of many descendants of the grandparents, so belongs somewhere in the tree, and is named close to alleged sister Caroline wife of William Little, so it would be easy to interpret that as meaning she belongs in the family. Probate documents cited in newspaper clipping don't seem to be online so can't see if they provide addition information, but I did find this birth of Jeannet Benoit to Jean Baptiste Benoit and Marie Onizia Cormier in 1867 which shows there was a Jeannet in this family, who could very likely go by the nickname "Jennie".

Just noting that all capitals is used to signal shouting, and comes across as somewhat rude. Comments about a person's page and the information on it should be posted to the talk page of that person, i.e., [[1]] in this case. That way it will be seen by people who may have worked on it. This page is for discussion on another topic and will mostly be seen by people like myself who have no knowledge of this family. Thank you. --Jrich 00:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
