You should direct <BR/>them to Chris Dunham's Genealogue<BR/>and in particular his blog finder<BR/>button. I believe his list is closing in on 1,000 genealogy blogs.<BR/><BR/>Plus maybe they'll read some of Chris' posts and it will help <BR/>loosen up their attitude with some laughs.Bill Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266937924453737084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-45156120933275490582008-09-14T07:54:00.000-05:002008-09-14T07:54:00.000-05:00ThomasI agree that Wikipedia is being the elitist ...Thomas<BR/><BR/>I agree that Wikipedia is being the elitist in this situation.<BR/><BR/>That said, I use Wikipedia but only as a reference for information that I have a passing interest in. If I want or need to have "reference-able" information, I generally find sites that are not user-edited/submitted. <BR/><BR/>While it's obvious that Wikipedia does some "picking-and-choosing", do they do any research to verify the information provided in the articles?Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303607041752275445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-82206881230546076172008-09-14T06:54:00.000-05:002008-09-14T06:54:00.000-05:00THOMAS,Of course Wikipedia should have an entry fo...THOMAS,<BR/><BR/>Of course Wikipedia should have an entry for "geneablog" and I am somewhat distressed that they so snobbishly hauled out their claim of "neologism."<BR/><BR/>If Wiki includes photoblog, videoblog, microblog, linklog, edublog and house blog in their listings/discussions, then, by golly, they should include geneablog. <BR/><BR/>I've sent a message to Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak alerting her to Wiki's use of her name and action in their denial of your request to add geneablog at Wiki.<BR/><BR/>And finally, thanks for using Hill Country of Monroe County Mississippi as one of your "notable" examples. I'm flattered.<BR/><BR/>Terry Thornton<BR/>Fulton, MSTerry Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251750196282728118noreply@blogger.com
