Welcome to US Black Heritage Project's weekend sprint!
The weekend is over. Thanks for the help!
Goal: To work together to add as many sources as we can in 3 days to profiles tagged as unsourced or in need of more sources.
Instructions:
- Post an answer below and tell us you will be participating.
- Go to either the USBH Unsourced category or the USBH Needs Sources category and pick a profile to work on.
- Click edit on that profile and immediately click the "Save Draft" button so others will know you are working on that profile.
- If they have Black heritage, make sure they have the {{African-American Sticker}}.
- Look for all sources available for that person and add them all to the profile. (Tip: The Sourcer Extension is a quick and easy way to add linked sources!)
- Add research notes for any sources you couldn't find.
- Check their immediate family for sources and the AA sticker (parents, children, spouses).
- Once the profile has been sourced, removed the Unsourced or Needs Sources category.
- We will not be tracking individual scores, but you can keep track of your own contributions and comment on your post at the end of the weekend just for fun.
Thank you for helping us improve our profiles!
