Robert - these are just my suggestions, but we'll need to discuss. There will probably be more as we think of them.

Dates: our preferred format is 12 Jan 1892.
Name capitalization: The preferred format is for names to be in upper/lower case, such as this: John Whitney. Please refrain from all capital surnames such as WHITNEY unless the original source has it thus.

Spelling, upper/lower case, date formats, etc. should be in the format of the original source.

See Family Group Record Format for style guidelines for Family Group Record pages.

 === Family Group Record Guidelines ===
-* All of the General Site Guidelines apply to the Family Group Records as well.
+See [[Family Group Record Format]] for style guidelines for Family Group Record pages.
-* The name of the page should be of the form "Family:Surname, Given Middle (birth_year-death_year)".  If either year is not known exactly, use, for example, a1701 (after), b1701 (before), c1701 (circa or about), s1701 (say, for guesses), or ? (no idea).  If the date is a double date, such as 1700/1, use 1701.
-* The first mention of the names of primary individuals (the subject, wives, and children) should be bolded to allow for easy location by readers.
