Hi Randi -

I noticed you recently moved many Project Boxes to below the Biography line. Project Boxes stay above the Biography line while stickers are below the Biography line. I can understand the confusion since there is a similar look.

Would it be possible for you to change that specific edit so the profiles will not show an error the next time an error report is run?

Many thanks!

Sandy

Ex: James Colson (1834-1920) and many Westward Ho profiles need changes reversed from February 24th & 25th

The changes are due to the error on Data Doctors - Error 931: ProjectBox Without Project Account...missing the "Category"

Here is the reference on which I was following: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Westward_Ho

Randi - I quickly realized that you were working on a DBE list when I noticed you removed other Project's Project Boxes.

I can not speak to those other Project's but if you had reviewed the profile and/or Comments section, you would have noticed that I have been communicating with the PM's to add our Project email. Projects do not have open access to add themselves. We need the profile manager's help. I was working, in collaboration, with them to resolve the DBE list for Appalachia.

Also, WikiTree has a section on their help page that highly suggests when removing something like a Project Box, one should either be a member or give the courtesy of reaching out to the Project. If you had reached out to our Project, we would first welcome you with open arms and also share the reason the Project Box shows in error.

Just because there is an error listed on the DBE lists does not always mean that they are being ignored. Sometimes, it is not a quick fix. I truly wish they were. :)

Also, the link you referenced for Western Ho does mention that the Project Box should be above the Biography line... you moved it below that line. I am not sure where the guidance suggests the correction you made to several profiles but thank you for correcting James Colson.

" ...the Project Box belongs on any profile managed by the project. Put the template above the = Biography = headline"

Thank you for your understanding and for the kind reply.

Hi Randi -

Many thanks for improving Ernest Van Stoneman (1893-1968). He is an Appalachia Project Notable and I added the Project Box back on the profile after you removed it.

Edit: I am seeing that you removed the Project Box from many profiles. For Appalachia, if you could reach out to us instead of removing us, I would be very appreciative. We are in contact with the PMs and working the process with them.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the simple edits to Andrew Brady' profile, however, the death cert listed on findagrave is not his, it is his son's, my father. The date on the cert confirm this. I would appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide to identify his father or mother. I seem to have hit a wall and not sure where to go from here.

Thank you again!

I will help you all I can with Brady-7739.

Randi, thank you for your edits on Drinkwater-98. I started a Drinkwater One Name study and have over 1,000 Drinkwaters. I don't know how I missed this Drinkwater, but I'm fixing it right now!

Randy--Shelly Shuman was my Grandfather and I am almost sure he spelled it Shelly and not Shellie.

Dr Ivy (Nicky) Shuman,Jr

Guess you are gonna replace the headstone...since that is where the spelling came from.

Hello Randi,

I saw the photo of your cat on your profile and it immediately brought back memories of all of the cats on Myspace. LOL

Hello 'Little Team on the Prairie' team member:

My closing message may be considered a little late, but I'm none-the-less grateful. I wanted to take this time to thank you for your participation in the 2022 Connect-a-Thon. It was a pleasure to work together to improve and expand the Wikitree. And I wanted to especially thank those team members that posted in the G2G Chat page and connected to our Discord channel. As a bonus: I learned some new techniques to take this challenge to the next level. I hope you'll join us during the next challenge!

Sincerely, Judi Stutz-25, Team Captain, Little Team On the Prairie

Congratulations, Randi on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Good morning Randi,

For a connect-a-thon, I'd say yes yes, but a source-a-thon's goal is just getting one good source on each profile.

If you want to continue improving the family line later after the source-a-thon is over, you can find them again on your 'Contributions' page.

Thanks for asking!

P.S. Please update your email address on your profile because its not going through!

Hello Randi,

Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Has the New Member How-To been helpful or left you with any questions?

Please let me know if you have any questions about WikiTree. To contact me, log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page. It's really great to have you on board.

Ginny ~ WikiTree Messenger

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Welcome Randi and thank you for upgrading, 😊

I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.

It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources and ask questions. Check here for tips.

I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.

Happy tree climbing
