I see you have created quite a few Pre-1700 profiles using FamilySearch profiles as sources, which are not suitable for Pre-1700 profiles. Many times there are sources within those profiles, and that is what should be used. Here is a link to the Germany Project's sourcing guidelines that may be helpful. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Germany_Project_Resources
The G2G forum is also a great place to ask for help or advice as well.
Thanks!
John
I want to thank you for all your contributions to WikiTree. Your Watchlist has 24324 profiles. This is very large. Our systems are designed to handle 5,000. Contributing to more than 5,000 profiles is great (the community thanks you for it!) but don't feel you have to keep so many on your Watchlist. Despite the terminology, there is no shame in "orphaning" Open profiles. :-) This invites others to share responsibility. You may also want to go through the new member help on How to manage your Watchlist. Since you have more than 10,000, Bulk Trusted List changes tool may not work for you. If so, please contact [email address removed] for help reducing your Watchlist.
