The first recommendation that comes to mind as far as the linking goes would be for something as basic as the SSDI information, perhaps just have that information linked directly as facts in the larger Person Page (assuming there's anyway for Footnote to calculate which page is "bigger", maybe by simple tally of facts or factoring in any other user added information like photos or stories and giving all of those additional factors a value).

In the left column of the page, there is an section for Related Pages. When you add a Related Page there is an option for "Same Person." You can use that to connect two or more pages for the same person. We are looking into some options for making a stronger connection between two pages for the same person and when we get all the details sorted out, we plan use the new approach with pages that have been marked as same person. If you have any suggestions or recommendations for how you'd like to see two pages for the same person connected, please let us know. Jason,

I made the mistake of creating an I Remember page from the SSDI entry that is almost completely empty. How can we flag such entries or connect them so as to have the database show them as a single person?
