Anyone want to get an easy jump in the Cemetery Challenge?

I tested a new gedcom creation tool by creating a gedcom file from the table on one of the cemetery pages (selected at random), then uploaded and imported the gedcom.  The result is that a little over 200 new profiles were created by the tool, but they need a little cleanup.  I am not participating in the Cemetery Challenge so these profiles are up for grabs by anyone who wants to be able to claim points for creating new profiles by doing very little actual work.  Here is what is needed:

  1. Go to the category page for the cemetery at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Dunn_Valley_Cemetery%2C_McKean%2C_Pennsylvania
     
  2. There is a list of links there to all the new profiles.  I have already been through the first several of them - I need to go through them all to orphan them.  I already did the minimal cleanup described in (3) below in the first dozen or so, but these profiles still could use some real content beyond what was in the table on the cemetery page.
  3. Cleanup needed:
    1. Put:  [[Category: Dunn Valey Cemetery, McKean, Pennsylvania]] on the top line (above ==Biography==)
    2. Delete The following 3 lines:

      === Note ===
      : Note:
      : Note:  === Biography === [[Category: Dunn Valey Cemetery: McKean; Pennsylvania]]
  4. When you put something real in there, please remove the reference to me and the gedcom I uploaded.
  5. Please note that I will be orphaning all of them - if you want to adopt one that I have not yet orphaned, just let me know and I'll do it right away for you.

All you cometitors can now have a free for all to claim these profiles - Go for it and good luck to y'all!!!

 

EDITED TO FIX LINK - sorry - I fat-fingered it and had a $ where I should have had a %

WHEW!  It works now - A million THANX for pointing that out, Julie!

Gaile,

That is fantastic! Well done!

Your first link up there isn't working, though. Let's see if this one does.

 

(Whew! It does!)
