But I'm not asking anyone to write code. Most people can copy and paste and if little else, they can type (even with a couple of fingers) - or they wouldn't have been able to start a profile.
I do agree that sometimes the sources are wrong too - meaning that the particulars that are referenced may be misinterpreted, or mis-typed. I've seen that quite a lot with census transcripts. The writing might have been very hard to read.
But I'm not asking about either of those things....just can someone add a link, or a bit of detail about some of the information they're providing? It's part of our honor code. I'm not worried about the format, but referencing an entire database with very little else to go on can be time consuming. A couple more clues would be helpful. I've also come across profiles where I can see WHY they had trouble locating anything to support it - I don't question that when I can see it's difficult. I also don't question it when I see some of the data was wrong to begin with, (through no fault of the profile manager's, because sometimes it's helpful to have another set of eyes to be objective).
Perhaps that's the aim - unsourced so someone else can be objective when adding sources and help validate the information? Hey, it takes me a while to get to another angle sometimes :)
