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!

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.
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.
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.
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!
I wanted to take this time to thank you for your participation in the 2023 Source-a-thon. It was a pleasure to work together as a team to improve Wikitree. We hope you'll join in the fun during the next challenge!

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!

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.
This is your invitation to join "Little Team on the Prairie" during the upcoming 2021 Source-A-Thon.
Please reply back on the G2G post you previously created so we can officially add you to our roster.
We are looking forward to have you source profiles with us!
Thanks,
Judi Stutz,
Team Captain,

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!
