New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - January 3 to 9, 2016

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  

As of 9 January 2016, there were 2,055 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week):



The new or updated collections are:

*  United States, GenealogyBank Obituaries, 1980-2014; 15,860,544 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 09 Jan 2016

*  Ukraine, Kyiv Orthodox Consistory Church Book Duplicates, 1734-1920; 1,837,807 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 07 Jan 2016

*  North Carolina, State Supreme Court Case Files, 1800-1909; 876,769 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 07 Jan 2016

*  Bolivia Catholic Church Records, 1566-1996; 61,549 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 07 Jan 2016

*  Utah Death Certificates, 1904-1964; 322,898 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 07 Jan 2016

*  Belgium, Hainaut, Civil Registration, 1600-1913; 321,812 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 07 Jan 2016

*  Sweden, Örebro Church Records, 1613-1918; index 1635-1860; 243,219 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 06 Jan 2016

*  Italy, Napoli, Civil Registration (State Archive), 1809-1865; 559,011 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 05 Jan 2016

*  Australia, Tasmania, Miscellaneous Records, 1829-2001; 106,224 indexed records, with record images, UPDATED 05 Jan 2016

Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell which collections are brand new and which ones are updated.  The asterisk they use is for "Recently added or updated."  I am particularly interested in new collections, for the obvious reasons.  FamilySearch does provide a listing of which collections are new or updated several days after my post.
 
In order to select a specific collection, go to 
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
