- I managed to improve the FindAGrave data and it will make the FindAGrave suggestions more up to date. Until now the data was up to 3 years old. Nov with the change dates from FindAGrave I can make that much smaller. I don't know what it will be, but I guess a few month to 1 year. I will know in few weeks, when updates will caught up. First huge change is a big jump in Merged memorials (586) and Deleted memorials (587). There is a jump also in other suggestions and they will continue to grow as i update more memorials. At the same time some false suggestions will be removed. 586 and 587 are also the suggestions for this week's challenge.
- On Wikidata I started to populate NamedAs with P2949 Identifier. It looks like this https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q278490#P2949 It will make WikiTree link more noticeable. I still intend to add references to relatives and dates. But there are a lot of administrative talk before making bulk changes on wikidata.
- I also helped reorganize profiles in European Royals and Aristocrats project, since the British one is being merged into it. That includes Project box and management changes on the profiles. There might be some jumps in the project related suggestions. It is still work in progress.
