Registration is now closed for our 2020 Spring Clean-a-Thon

This is our fourth (!) annual Clean-a-Thon. The mission is to clear out as many database suggestions as possible over the 72 hours. 

The cleaning will start on Friday, April 24, at 8 AM (EDT) and run until Monday, April 27, at 8 AM (EDT).

Will you join us?

To register, just click the ANSWER button and say "Sign me up!" or whatever and include a few words about your location and/or genealogical interests. This will help us assign you to a team. If you already know what team you'd like to be on, say that. The current teams are listed here. More may be added.  Please double-check and make sure the team you are interested in is participating.

Happy Cleaning!

Thanks so much! ❤️
Can't get the tracker to register.
Hi, Roy ... can you tell us more?

Have you entered your Profile ID in the box underneath where it says "Update Status:" and the "Your WikiTreeID:" ?

If you have a screenshot of what's going on, that will also be helpful.
it is working fine now. I thought I had to register each update, but it is doing it automatically, no need to click extra boxes.

Glad you got squared away, Roy!
Why do you guys close the registration before the event is over?

Life is hectic and internet access unpredicitble so never know if I can join in these kinds of things so pre-registration is not a good idea for me. But I do have time and access this weekend so I would have like to join in.
I'm sorry you didn't get registered in time, Jennifer. We have to have time to get the teams organized and communicate with the team captains in time for them to prepare, as well.

In the future, you can always register, and if life gets in the way, it's not a problem if you end up not being able to participate. We all understand how things can go sometimes.

Watch for the Connect-a-thon this summer. It should be sometime in July.
Wow, I surely thought I'd signed up, but it doesn't appear that I have. I guess I didn't do it right. Disappointing, when you try to follow instructions but don't succeed. :-(

I would like to participate.  The Southwest Sunshiners could be a good fit (I've never done one of these before).
by Paige Kolze G2G6 Mach 5 (55.1k points)

You're all set with your badge, Paige. 

Your team captain(s) should be able to help you with any questions you have. Your team page is here: Southwest Sunshiners

I don't see the badge.  Does that mean I'm not properly registered/
No, it means I forgot to click the right button when I added your badge!

It was a long day of badge adding yesterday ;-)

Fixing it now.

I signed up on April 1, but I have not had a response. I was on Gulf Coast Hurricanes last year and since it isn't an option this year, I would be happy to work on Western Red Cedar, Virginia, Southern USA or Mid-Atlantic, or wherever needed.  

Thanks.

Sign me up with Team Roses.  I intended to sign up previously, but there was some trouble with either my email account or my Wikitree account and I assumed it was because I have had my data doctor badge for less than 3 months which prevented me from participating in the data doctor challenges. However, I just found out that there is an exception made for marathons like the Clean-a-Thon.

Also, I thought I wouldn't be able to spend the time necessary on the marathon because I had other priorities with Wikitree, but that was many weeks ago and I am caught up now. So, I have changed my mind about participating and I have recently been in touch with a member of Team Roses and can you please assign me to that team?

As I understand it, there is a badge that is assigned just for participation.  So, I look forward to receiving one of those badges and who knows?  Maybe, I will get a winner badge.  After all, I just won the Saturday Sourcing Sprint.  Thanks.
