Agree, all records should be sourced, at least upto such extenct that is
relevant, and normal for most genealogical wesbites.

You can already now submit genealogies, I have so far submitted the
Pharaes from
the 18th dynasty in Egypt, and some generations from the house
of Wasa in Sweden. I think the more users who involve in this demo wiki,
the more arguments to start it as a wikimedia project.
One thing I've been thinking about with regard to wiki genealogy is the
actual *process* of genealogical research. I think we need to set up a
really good framework of how contributors should *do* research: e.g. start
by setting up pages for individual sources; and then next to those have
pages that list the notes that people make about them (more subjective and
individual perhaps); and then link into the individual biographies about
people.
Lots of the objections to a Wikimedia Genealogy Project are around the
possibilities of poorly-researched information being added. I think we must
make sure that our standards are as high as Wikipedia — in basically every
regard other than notability.
