Goal

The Berkshire Team covers the county of Berkshire, England.

Our goal is to ensure that all Berkshire profiles are of a high standard, as complete as possible, and connected to the global tree.

Topics

In order to achieve our goal, there are a number of different topics, with plenty of scopes to expand depending on member interests.

• Berkshire profiles managed by the England Project.
  • Managed Profiles Category Page
• Maintenance Categories
  • Berkshire unsourced profiles
  • Berkshire unconnected profiles
  • Berkshire database suggestions

Our progress can be monitored on the Space:England,_Regional_and_County_Statistics_Page#Berkshire County Statistics page.

What to do

We handle the responsibility of improving the profiles of people from Berkshire along with several other tasks, which include:

• Oversight of the Berkshire County Category Page to ensure that our information is up to date and is consistent with the other England county pages.
  • This also includes the revision of our categories, adding correct categories and deleting incorrect or unnecessary categories as needed.
  • Monitor the Berkshire County Category Page to ensure that all profiles are placed into the most accurate sub-category possible and not into any of the parent categories.
• Continual updating of the Maintenance templates on Berkshire profiles such as "Unsourced" and "Estimated Date".
• Focusing on the improvement of Berkshire profiles including sourcing, connecting, merging duplicates, correcting database errors, and writing biographies.
  • Creating profiles for prominent or notable Berkshire-based individuals and connecting them to our global trees.
  • Researching and updating profiles on WikiTree which are relevant to prominent Berkshire families.
• Discuss and collaborate together, including maintaining the free space Berkshire Research Resources Page, adding and updating links as needed.

Communication and Collaboration

If you want to work together, go for it, amazing profiles can be sourced and written as a team! You can communicate with everyone by posting to this page, joining us on discord, through the Google groups: England Project, or by messaging individual members.

Keep in mind that we will largely be working on profiles that are managed by other people—always endeavour to discuss any major changes you may wish to make to a profile with the profile manager/s involved.
