Challenge of the week: Help clean up problematic dates

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

Will you join our Data Doctors Challenge for this week?            

Aleš's "WikiTree+" data analysis has uncovered thousands of profiles with dates that need some special attention, e.g. people who lived 115+ years, or had children after they were 100, or got married before they were born, etc. Some of these are obvious typos and easy to fix. Many require research.

Here is the table of profiles with problematic dates.

After you investigate something, set the status [more info]. That will earn you a point. The member with the most points at 11:59pm EDT on Sunday night will get the badge and the bragging rights. But we'll all benefit from a neater, cleaner shared tree.            

If you're participating, please post here to let us know. It helps us avoid stepping on each others' toes, and it's nice to cheer each other on. Also post here if you have any questions about how to participate. 

Thanks for helping!

P.S. If you want to chat or coordinate what you are working on with others, in addition to this G2G post there is a handy spreadsheet courtesy of Steven Tibbetts.

The link for the date challenge is NOT showing the normal table for profiles to work on. Can this be fixed please ? Thanks

I signed up for this challenge 2 days ago, but my contributions don't show up in the stats.

Are you setting the status for each suggestion you correct.

I see now that I was using the wrong spreadsheet and was fixing problem locations.  I'll do a brain reset and start again.
