Answer 1

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps you might want to make a Project Resources space page and put that link on the project page. Either works, but I find members more likely to add to the space page which keeps the leader from having to be the one to add all the resources that are found. It also seems to engage members. You can highlight the favorites if you like and then refer new members to the page for guidance.

Of course, I am sure you know what works best for your project.  I just didn’t know if you had thought of it.  Nae taught me to do that when we put up US Civil War.

Thanks Paula, that sounds like a great idea.

Thank you for undertaking this, John, it would be very helpful. If you haven't seen them yet, there are examples of other Project Sources pages linked here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Source.

Indeed Paula,
AS I just joined the group I didn't feel that it was "at my paygrade" to make edits directly  to the space page, without putting my suggestions up for discussion first.
I would very much like to help collect and build ( maintain)  a resources page for the royalty and nobility in different countries on the continent as a sub page of Euroaristo project page.
I think that would be for the euroaristo leadership to approve, I would gladly accept the task if it were proposed

We do have a pre-1500 resource page that was created with the MCS and Euroaristo projects in mind.

Answer 2

Thanks Derek for all of those.

I think the project page does need a bit of an overhaul, and I should have time in about 3 or 4 weeks to look at that and confer with the other EuroAristo leaders.

We can look then at how and what is included as useful links.
