hi, I'm at a pause as I have a lot to fix on my entries and as I understand it, we can't add family.  Go figure, lol, I always have something holding me back from what I want to do.  I'll be back, you can count on that.

---

We will see you later in the year then Patricia take care in the meantime and have fun with your branch of the tree

---

I can't join at the moment but I want to say thank you for all your work. I've been trying to clean up profiles for years but there are so many. This group is a definite plus for WikiTree.

---

Thank you for that, Cheryl.  You would be welcome to join any time.

---

Please add me to the project team. I've been researching my family history for almost 10 years now. I love reviewing records and correcting errors.

Answer 6

I thought I joined years ago when I added the tag. Noticed while rearranging my badges for our new look that I didn't have the Data Doctor badge. I must have forgotten to answer the question or maybe I closed the page before saving ... I'd like to join if you'll have me. I'm off to join a new google group.

Answer 19

It looks like Data Doctors needs help.  Actually I have considered volunteering to help with more than simply fixing the suggestions for the profiles I manage.

However it looks like there is an A.I. problem.  Don't know if the software changed, or if people do not actually process the the responses to suggestions.
At this time, it looks like ALL the  suggestions for my profiles are about information on the profile not agreeing with FAG.  What!

FAG is not a reliable source which is evident and which we are told.  Very little of the information is actually from the headstone, which as has been noted can be wrong.  And I have never seen citations for any of the vital statistics that are not from the headstone, nor narratives included at FAQ.

Are FAG suggestions meant to advise use of FAG info if no sources have been found, or if there is only one iffy source and more verification is needed?  The answer to that seems to currently be "yes", "no" and  "maybe"  which means that either clarification is needed or something is wrong with the software programming OR that Data Doctors really does need more people who will actually look at the websites.

However, it is not easy to volunteer to do anything on websites when there is a variety of contradictory information about what is and is not correct - the FAG suggestions for my own are an example.

I really do not understand what is being suggested and why.
