	Are you talking about a google/bing/yahoo search query? – Mike Farmer Jul 6 '10 at 18:33
	Yes, the problem is too broad. If it talked about what to include in a request to get a Birth Certificate from Pendleton County Kentucky, it would be OK. – Blake Jul 11 '10 at 0:01

I would want to see a specific type of source in the question, rather than a generic "sources". – stack Jul 29 '10 at 23:23

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.

	I'd normally consider this off topic, as it pertains to setting up a website more than genealogy, but I think that blogging is an important aspect of this work for many genealogists, and they have specific needs not easy to deal with for regular bloggers. – Adam Davis Jun 21 '10 at 1:17
	I like this question because there may be specific blogging platforms that lend themselves better to displaying information about family trees. – Mike Farmer Jul 6 '10 at 18:35

	I would think this ought to be common knowledge within the genealogy community. – moioci Jun 7 '10 at 23:52
	Common knowledge, yes. But whether or not it belongs on this site depends a lot on what the defined target demographic ultimately ends up being, which is arguably in limbo. I'd probably answer this the first time in a general way (i.e., n + 72), and mark any future recurrences as duplicates. This is probably the most basic question I'd expect to see here. – stack Jul 29 '10 at 23:29
	You are apparently assuming the question refers to the US federal census and that the questioner ought to know. They may not be familiar with the US census. – Anonymous Dec 23 '10 at 22:44
	Likewise, it's supposed to be welcoming to the novice as well. That said, the only place I've known where I could look up census data has been Ancestry.com. – Kaji Jan 15 '11 at 15:15

I like it, but it feels just a bit too subjective. A "What are the pros and cons of...?" type question could work well here, though. Voting on-topic in expectation of this rewording. – Kaji Jan 15 '11 at 15:14

	I believe the official method of notation is a crooked/curvy line with a little bottle of moonshine next to it. – stack Jul 29 '10 at 23:31
	I had to remove my vote for another question just so I could put it on this one. If I was drinking something I would have shot it out of my nose. – Robert S Ciaccio Oct 11 '10 at 15:49
	Maybe I'm having a fuzzy monday morning, but is this even possible? – Mark Henderson Dec 12 '10 at 23:14
	Uh never mind, I get it now. – Mark Henderson Dec 12 '10 at 23:17
