Hi Jay, I saw you changed a maintenance category from "US Black Heritage Project, Unsourced" to "US Black Heritage Project." That category isn't used on individual profiles. It's only used on pages. In cases like this, where one source was added, but obviously more are needed, we use US Black Heritage Project, Needs Sources. Thanks, Emma
Thank you for your contributions to our 5th place finish in the 2023 Source-a-thon! We couldn't have done it without your participation. I hope to see you back for the next 'thon"!

Good evening fellow Team Missouri teammate!    

Since Eowyn provided the major links in her email, I'm dropping by with the other main one you'll need. This will take you to the state links for the suggestions that need to be fixed.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_Errors_By#East_North_Central  Click on the state you want to work on and it will bring up a huge chart of suggestions. If you have any question about how things work or if there's any issues, drop a note in the Team chat or PM me.    

And the most important thing is...have fun!

Go Team MO!!

Thanks for the instruction Jay. It was a simple error I should have noticed. It probably happened when I pasted the source onto the page. I will try to proof read my entries better in the future.

Hi Jay, on the change you made to location name of Maillot-41, sorry that was not correct. Wikitree names locations by what they were called at the time of event. Please see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Quebecois in the lower part, there is a listing of location names by era. Thanks.

HI Jay, thanks for the fixit on Alonzo M Breece-102.

I checked the change but don't see anything different. Just curious . . what did I miss? Barb :)

Hi Jay,

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.

It looks like US History would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag United_States_History will help you get updates about activity for that project.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
