I would like to make this profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Leno-95 notable, he has extensive wikipedia entry but not clear to me how to make him notable, can I do that in some way or do i make a request to somone-else.

He is from my family tree, I don't have any desire to join the notable project myself and add other notable people.

His entire bio is a direct copy-and-paste from Wikipedia.  You should rewrite it in your own words.

Okay I will do , although dont feel i can make it any better.

Not that you would be expected to do this on your first time, but take one of the England project's example profiles, and see what you can garner from it.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Elrington-20
Any improvement over the Wikipedia copy is better than none.

You'll find another bunch of example profiles on the Project's page.

Melanie, the England project profile: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Elrington-20%C2%A0

says it does not exist. Is there another one to reference?


Doesnt seem a good example, doesnt have a wikipedia page or be marked as notable person.

I didn't say he was a Notable, just that it was an example of a decent biography.

If you want a Notable, from the same examples page -- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Darwin-15

That is really strange! This first link still does not work for me but the second one you posted works just fine. I don't see a difference but I guess my computer does.

The link you pasted seems to have something added to the end (one of g2g's "miraculous" captures of something not posted).  I sometimes think g2g and our devices are in cahoots!  cheeky
