August 2020 BioBuilders - People born in August

Question

676 views

This month’s Bio Builders Challenge theme is people born in August. 

Thank you for your support.

Here's our checklist:

Data Section:

• birth date/place
• names of parents
• marriage date/place and spouse name
• names of children, if any
• death date/place

Biography Section:

• Written (full) sentences stating the facts above, adding inline sources to each fact.
• Is the profile '''Genealogically Defined?'''
• As a general rule biographies should be in your own words. Paraphrase and rewrite, don't copy/paste.
• Baptism, burial, military, and other life events with inline sources.
• Something to "humanize" the person, such as career or avocation with sources.
• List of children with at least one pertinent fact.
• Some list siblings. (I think this takes up real estate.)
• Explanatory remarks, if needed (e.g. disputed persons information, Research Notes, whatever needs extra explaining).
• Photos or pictures, background. Not a must, but nice (you need to own the copyright unless they are in the public domain).
• Categories.
• Connection to the Global Tree.
• All duplicates merged or initiated.
• Links to persons and events, perhaps from Wikipedia.
• Historical context as related to the person's life.
• Sources, Sources, Sources.

You can see some ideas on where to find some of this information on the Biography Builders space page.

Answer 10

Could someone check some of my biographies? I'd like to see if they're "approvable" or not, and what they need if not. I note that this is an achievement sticker on WikiTree. This gives me something to work toward. I'm always looking for ways to improve.
