I wonder how many other notable Nova Scotians are waiting to be added?

If they were called MPP's at one time and MLA's at another, then we follow suit. Always use the naming conventions as they were used at the time. Atlantic coordinator is Brad Foley. I would contact him directly about the rest.
We probably want a better way to find categories like this - I am sure most profile managers were unaware it existed, and unless you go to edit mode, there is nothing on the profile to indicate it is now part of this category. Perhaps a link to the category page?
Categories used to be shown at the top of the biography, but some profiles had so many of them that it was found to be too distracting. So they are now visible down at the bottom of the profile. If you click on the categories box at the top of the profile, it will direct you there.
I agree that it is not the easiest to find, but you don't need to go into edit mode to find it.
I just completed a profile for Danny Gallivan. I wondered if he would be considered a notable? Thanks, Susan
Thank you, Cindy (Acadian Project co-leader)
