Oh, what a tangled web you weave

When no data agrees, and no sources you leave.

I’m sure you really didn’t mean to deceive,

But reviewing this profile makes me grieve.

If you come across a profile that reminds you of this poor rhyme, you may want to add the “Serious Data Problems” category to keep a record that someone needs to review this profile.  This category is for profiles, usually not sourced, where the data does not make sense. Examples include people with death date earlier than their birth date, those who were born several years (even decades) after their mother died, dates of birth for children over a period of over 50 years for one mother.

Great reminder, Star! I am so glad that the talented poetry of Wikitreers continues apace! A contest, a mini contest…finish the rhyme borrowed  from the early beloved Western Poet/Bandit Black Bart…(since I cannot seem to find the rhyming words…)

 

Star, you are a Po8

This we know 4sure….

 

(Help someone, I can't find the rhyme to end the stanza!)
