Creating Pages and Editing

There are some elementary rules for entry creation:

1) for biographical entries use the full name and life span (in parentheses), e.g. John James Wilson (1839-1869), being certain to associate important timeline dates within the entry with place, giving Google Earth latitude and longitude wherever possible. 2) for place entries use place name and Google Earth coordinates in parenthesis, or relevant dates, followed by coordinates, in parentheses, e.g. Robert Long House (39.282223 -76.591362) or Wilson Homestead (1840-1865, 44.333502, -76.666614); For most addresses latitude and longitude can be easily derived from: Latlong.net3) for topic entries, be as brief as possible and work within existing topics where they exist, such as Baltimore Privateers and Letters of Marque.
