Naming Conventions - Wiki
From Wiki For the Big Tree it is important that we try to unite on one good naming practice, trying to use the best genealogical standard. There is some additional info on this subject in this project: [1] For our modern profiles we of course use what we’re used to: close relatives, living people, claimed profiles, all will write their names correctly according to how it is done legally in the country in question. But for the parts of the tree many people share, usually starting 1700 and back, we need to cooperate to get it as good as possible, by both genealogical and historical standards.
Curators -- and how YOU can help - Wiki
The goal of Geni has always been to create a shared family tree, so our users around the world can meet new cousins and discover how they relate to historical figures as well as well-known contemporary public figures. Geni has recently (in September, 2010) designated a group of experienced users as Curators to help achieve this goal.Familypedia

Where do these genealogy records come from? Every month, thousands of people worldwide freely submit their family trees to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church then publishes these genealogy records in a growing collection of CDs and DVDs called Pedigree Resource File. FindYourFamilyTree.com , an independently-owned website, allows you to search these same records online so you may first find your ancestors for free before you decide to buy the set. More about PRF
