Margaret, ditto to everything Melanie said and you really did a great job on that profile. I don't know when I've seen someone starting out put all that code in a profile - I am VERY impressed!!!
There are a few more things that also needed correcting, but I think you're better off adding all the wikicode stuff to your repertoire slowly - it's a huge chunk to try to bite off at once. The other things are:
To make an ordered list (that's the term for a numbered list), you have to make the # the very first character on the line - not even a space before it, or it won't be interpreted as a code. You don't put any description after it (like numbered list or anything), and you don't skip lines between the items on the list or it will think you're starting a new list and they'll all end up numbered 1. Bulleted lists work the same way - you don't use the bullet character, but instead you put an asterisk as the first character on a line and the page will display with an indented bullet there.
The other thing is the quote marks. This is a really bad quirk, but there are things called smart quotes that slant from top left toward bottom right at start of a quotation and from bottom left toward top right at end. WikiTree does not understand these characters, so you have to use only straight quotes - they're the same for start and end. This is also true for when you use apostrophes (like three of them to make text bold or 2 of them to make it italic).
