  • I added checking for CategoryInfoBox OnePlaceStudy in the Category Suggestions. Also added displaying of locations on WikiTree+ Maps where CIB is used.
  • I updated several location definitions. See G2G.
  • I found a problem with unconsistant data reporting invalid 59x Findagrave suggestions. Those are now not reported and I also created a protocol to update the out of sync data.
  • Revalidated error links to www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it, since they fixed their servers. Almost all errors are gone.

  • I added checking for CategoryInfoBox OneNameStudy in the Category Suggestions.
  • I updated the WikiTree+ Chrome Extension. It should update in a day or two. I improved template parsing in case of nested templates and pasting of coordinate parameter now automatically converts DMS notation into decimal degrees. (52°15'21.39"N, 4°4'14.08"W converts to 52.255942, -4.070578)
  • I prepared new suggestions for Categorisation project. I am now checking some CategoryInfoBoxes in detail. That means each parameter. You can see it here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Automated:DBE_Categories_Suggestions All 7000 errors are new. For now CIB Cemetery, CIB CemeteryGroup and CIB Location are checked.
  • I did a lot of work for geolocationg cemetery and locations categories. There were all sorts of data problems. I corrected a lot of the, but there are still many to go. Here are the error reports for those interested. https://wikitree.sdms.si/Categories/CIBCemetery.Errors.htm https://wikitree.sdms.si/Categories/CIBLocation.Errors.htm https://wikitree.sdms.si/Categories/CIBCemeteryGroup.Errors.htm First task for the comunity is to provide the cemetery coordinates for all cemeteries. I updated Wikitree+ Chrome extension to make it easy to add a coordinate (It should be updated in a day or two). Mistakes can also be seen on https://wikitree.sdms.si/maps (Turn on the Cemetery group in Layers on the left) and explore the map.
  • I added new suggestion "964 eMail used" that reports usage of email address on the profile. It shouldn't be used.
  • I implemented template parameters checking. There are many new suggestions in Error 897: Error in template parameters suggestion.
  • I noticed that some of you have problems accessing WikiTree+ and are getting 403 Access Denied error. We did made some changes to the security last month and in case you are getting 403 error, you should clear the cookies for wikitree.sdms.si. The problematic cookie is SessionID. Just delete it and within 1 hour everything should work.

Thank you Aleš for these wonderful reports catching all of my goofs, that somehow manage to slip by the immediate error alerts, while editing the profiles. Every week you manage to find another little batch of profiles to work on.   In addition to the problem listed on the report, I often find things that need tending to in the family unit, like more sources etc.

 On the rare occasion that my list is empty it is usually that there is an arrival delay and by end of the day, there it is with my current problems to correct which are usually FG discrepancies and sometimes I have it right so send a correction request to the FG pm, getting them in proper order also.  

A huge thank you for all the ways you make tending these tree branches easier.

The delay is caused by increase of wikitree data (each week there are 60K more profiles) and the complexity and amount of reports, suggestions,...

In the recent weeks It is always Tuesday when I publish the data and all reports are not done until Wednesday evening.

I do some optimizations from time to time to make things run faster, but on the other hand something can break. This week I had to reimport the locations database from geoNames. In the mean time I figured to import the categories, since there was time during geoNames import, but Other things broke as a result. I find out the hard way again and again that it is best to not do anything from Sunday to Tuesday.
