Register now for the 2023 Source-a-Thon [closed]

Question

It's finally time for the big annual event, the Source-a-Thon. This is our eighth and we are still going strong. Last year we added sources to 64,000 previously-unsourced profiles! Can we beat that total this year? I know we can.

The event starts on Friday, September 29 at 8AM EDT (Noon UTC) and runs until Monday, October 2 at 8AM EDT (Noon UTC) [time zone calculator]. There will be door prizes donated from around the genealogy community, live video hangouts every four hours, around-the-clock chatting, and lots of fun.

Will you join us? To register, just click the ANSWER button (comments at the top will be hidden once read) and say "Sign me up!" and include your team choice or a few words about your location and/or genealogical interests so we can assign a team. Registration ends at midnight EDT on Wednesday, September 27.

Let's see what we can accomplish together!

---

Hi, K!
The download/upload has been done previously and it is on the team roster next to your name.
For displaying it on your profile, you can use the sticker code:
{{Source-a-Thon|team=[[Space:Western_Red_Cedars|Western Red Cedars]]|year=2023|sources=000|bib=Perry-12354-2.png}}

When I attempt to upload my Bib (which doesn't show in the Sandbox as having already been uploaded), I get an error that says: 

"Is the image you're uploading, Bib067.png, the same as the existing image named Bib_Numbers_for_Team_Italy-16.png?"

That image is "protected" and I cannot tell if it's the same, because I'm not on the trusted list.  Before I upload "again", can someone who has rights add me to the trusted list? 

Thanks

Danita

---

Hi, Danita!
You can still use it for your sticker since the sticker uses the thumbnail version of the image. Here's the markup for your sticker:

{{Source-a-Thon
|team=[[Space:Team Italy-1|Team Italy]]
|year=2023
|sources=000
|bib=Bib_Numbers_for_Team_Italy-16.png}}

az :)

I had tried that, but I did again just to make sure I hadn't typoed it. you can see the result here

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Burkett-1190

---

Gotcha! Ok, so it looks like it may have been removed. You can upload to the team bib page that Kathy set up or the Source-a-Thon Sandbox page, whichever you'd like then. When you get the message about a duplicate file, just add the file back, and then click to proceed past the message.

---

Got it - I'll just upload it again - I didn't want to make a dup!
