Please give us a specific example of this.
Of the four genealogy wiki's that I'm familiar with the focus in
each is on laying out family histories. (Of course, that's not the
focus on the LDS wiki where facilitating doing genealogy seems to be
the main point.) At anyrate, this is not at all dissimilar from
what's being done on Ancestry, GenCircles, etc, or on most peoples
personal family history web sites for that matter. I suppose when
they do a good job with their work, cite sources, quote passages
from wills, or a small section of a census record, a bible record,
etc. that this would generate some additional search engine hits in
addition to all those other folks citing those particular items.
Exactly how is it that this is a problem on wiki's and not in all of
the other places which are much more systematically duplicating
genealogical materials on their sites?
