The WikiTree Challenge: Will you join a January team? [closed]

Question

Hi WikiTreers!

We are launching our most ambitious community event ever: The WikiTree Challenge.

Each week in 2021, a team of WikiTreers will collaborate on the tree of a special genealogy guest star. Our challenge is to improve their publicly-accessible genealogy — to make it more accurate and complete than it previously was on any public family tree website. Our goals:

• evaluate and improve accuracy on WikiTree,
• consider where and why other trees are more accurate and complete,
• make new friends.

Here are all the details: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:WikiTree_Challenge

Can you participate in any of these weeks?

January 6-13: AJ Jacobs/Team Virginia
January 13-20: CeCe Moore/Western Red Cedars
January 20-27:  Jonny Perl/Twisted Thistles
January 27- February 3: Jen Baldwin/Mighty Oaks

Answer 6

I would like to participate in each of the weeks. If possible, could I be on Loretta's team? Not a must, but being new, she has kind of taken me under her wing. Thanks!

Comments

Thanks Joshua! Loretta will be participating, but not the captain, during the first week. We'll announce her when she captains in February.

Like Joan anything outside of England would be more of a challenge I doubt I can help with the first one but may be with others so add me to the list.
