Question

I am getting a BIG message that I haven't provided sources for LUTZ-4185 But I have an image of a marriage certificate and information from and obituary and a family collection of documents and photos. ???

Comments

Findagrave shows his parents as John and Margaret Martin Lutz not Wm & Emma as listed on his death certificate. Just a heads up. I have added find a grave as a source with a note re incorrect parents.

Wow. Thank you.

That's a big mistake. Unfortunately, I getting do bogged down in the formatting, I'm making mistakes elsewhere.

No, no, no. That was a mistake made by Find a Grave. A good reference, not necessarily a valid source. There is a learning curve, you will get it. Don't think you have to comprehend everything at once.

Answer 1

At the time you created the profile, you didn't include a source, so the system added {{Unsourced}} above == Biography ==.  That's what is producing the banner message.  Now that you've added a source, you can remove {{Unsourced}} by editing the profile.

Thank you. I didn't know that. I didn't add a source because I needed to go look it up.

It's fine to do it that way.  Many people start out with a barebones profile then start adding info in subsequent edits.  Once you know about {{Unsourced}}, it's simple to remove during editing.

Answer 2

You need to remove {{Unsourced}} (it doesn't do it automatically).  Go into the Edit tab and scroll down to the box where all the bio and sources are.  You will see {{Unsourced}} at the very top.  Delete it and save.
