I have posted a comment on the profile that I intend to change the project box to a sticker. If you were acting on behalf of the project, could you post there that you were & why the project wanted to manage the profile? (I'm not a member of the 1776 Project, but work closely with the project's leadership about PPP [Project-Protected Profile] and PMP [Project-Managed Profile] decisions as a result of my work in the Virginia Project and the US Southern Colonies Project. As I noted in my comment on Bowling-1621, it does not look like a profile that the project would usually elect to manage.)

Thanks!

you added last names, copied from husband's last name, to some XVIII and XIX century Portuguese women profiles that I manage ex. Rosa Josefa (Unknown) Carneiro (abt.1794-). The last name of these profiles is "Unknown" because the source used does not have a last name.

Women adopting husband's last name in Portugal is a recent phenomena (ie. XX century), and it is not universal. In the late XIX century, by French influence, some people in the upper classes started to do it.

I reverted the changes. -- Sn

I was going through the One Name Studies category when I noticed a few Newton profiles you manage had ended up categorised there. As the category is what we consider a high level category, profiles shouldn't be categorised there but instead under one of the various subcategories - in your case, the Newton Name Study. I removed the separately-entered One Name Studies categories, and then noticed that part of the reason it was ending up there was because of how you'd entered the ONS sticker into the profiles.

On the sticker, if you simply use the |name parameter, it will automatically categorise under Newton Name Study. Adding the |category parameter is only necessary if you're going to categorise it somewhere else, like "Virginia, Newton Name Study" (for example) so I fixed the stickers so that the profiles will appear in the appropriate category :)

Good luck with your name study!

Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.

Kind regards,
