How do I know a profile manager is active on WikiTree and able to respond to my request to be on the trusted list?

Question

Over a week ago, I sent a message to someone with whom I share a family tree branch asking to be added to his trusted list. I have beautiful photographs of some of the people whose profiles he manages. How long should I wait for a response before I become concerned that I will not hear from him?  Is there a way to check whether profile managers are active and able to respond on WikiTree?

Answer 1

Go to their profile and you will see something like
Honor Code Signatory
Signed 30 Dec 2012 | 67966 contributions | 4009 thank-yous

click on the number of contributions and you can see how long ago they were last working on WikiTree.

Thank you Ros.  I just clicked on the number of contributions he's made and found that he hasn't been active in almost 5 years. I would like to work on that part of my family tree. If I do not hear from him, is there a way for me to be made the profile manager of any ancestors on that part of my tree for whom I would like to post information and photos?  He seems to be the manager for my paternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and on down the line.  Thank you!

You will need to go the Unresponsive Profile Manager route.  Here is a Help page all about it:

To find a link to the form you need to submit, don't go to his profile, go to one of the ones you want to manage.  On the Family Tree & Tools tab, scroll right to the bottom, and you will find the link.
