Some se sites have explicit FAQs dealing with list questions, many do not. Can we distill something to put in the FAQ about do/don'ts wrt list questions. Also in between might be "what lineage and heritage societies might I be eligible for if I have ancestors who immigrated to Connecticut in the late 1600's?". In between might be "what sites have references/citations for William Brewster?". "what are the references and citations for William Brewster (1535-1590) being born in Scooby, England?" is a very specific genealogical problem that still produces a list for an answer. And what should be done to make a good question from a question that may have a list answer.įor example "What are the best genealogy sites" is a "bad" list question not just because the answer is a list but because it's subjective opinion and it's way too broad (ie it's not a specific problem). We should decide and make clear what list questions (if any) are appropriate on and which are not.
