I assume most people on this list know about the wikiproject
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Genealogy but I
thought I'd mention it, because it seems there aren't that many members
yet.
I've been looking at BMD records in Australia, and am wondering how I
can cite them. It's easy to create an item for each registry, and add
that as a 'stated in' property in a reference, but one also needs to
cite the registration number, and often the district and year. Does
anyone have an idea of the correct approach? Do we need to request a new
property or two?
Are civil registry districts considered "administrative districts"? I
created
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42333974 as an example of a
person with this sort of reference, and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42650404 as an example of a civil
registry district, but I'm not sure I've done them in the best way.
http://tinyurl.com/y92fjjbs is WDQS list of all the civil registries
that Wikidata knows about so far. Lots missing! Please add ones you know
about. :-)
