See the Data Doctors Project page for information on joining.

 

 

Hi there is now a separate db_errors badge. I think I've given it to everyone who officially joined the project, but if I missed you, let me know.

UPDATE: 5/26/2016:

Let me point out that if you didn't ask for the Profile Improvement Badge before, I would have no way of knowing you were working on the project. So those of you who are asking now, I didn't forget you, but I didn't know about you.

The badge and the name have changed

UPDATE Aug. 5, 2016. Since Aleš is now a leader, after you read the project page, please send Aleš a message asking for the badge

Yes, thank you Anne. Does the badge come with any increased ability to message Profile Managers as discussed/requested in other threads?
I do not believe so.
No, I haven't received it, Anne.
I did not yet receive the new badge, Anne - and I definitely need a badge with a "star" on it!
Hi Anne,

I have not received the badge yet
Hi Anna I belong to the profile improvements project, so do I get this badge too?
Hi Anne,

I'd like the badge please! Thanks.
Yes if you consider yourself part of the db_errors project, I can give you the badge.
Dear Anne,

   Please give me a db_errors badge.  I have been trying to correct errors and add sources at the same time.  Limited success, but some. -NGP
I'd like one, please, Anne; I'm working on error 902.
I haven't yet received a badge either.
Yes Anne, I would like a db_erros badge.  Thanks.  Connie
Thanks Anne. Got it.
Hi from Amsterdam! I would like the badge, working on Dutch db_errors.
I started helping with this today, so may I please have the badge?

Thank you!
Hi Anne,

 I would like the badge, I 'm working on the errors of the Netherlands province Zeeland, from the beginning of the project in coordination with  other members of the Dutch Roots Project.

Thanks in advance.
This tool is fabulous.  I just used it to find 3 errors on my watchlist....  No more for now!!!
Hi Anne,

Please could I have a badge, am doing a bit of all sorts with this project. But mostly clearing the small numbers that are left over at the end of each week, working through a generation or 2 from me into the global each week (on generation 19 now), using it to check after a big inputting session to check I didn't forget anything and planning to help more with the under 1500s records as just got my badge.

Dankje
Great idea, i've already corrected dozens of errors. Would love a badge.

Valerie
No yet, but would like one.
Please may I have a Corrections badge?  This corrections stuff is addictive! (I should know, I am a proofreader in my day job.)
Hi Anne, how does one know if they've joined the project? Just because I've added the tag and have been making lots of corrections (to "my own" tree), but that doesn't mean I've joined the project? Sourcing is hard. I'm not sure I want to venture out beyond my own tree :(
To officially join a project you ask the leader of the project (in this case me) to give you the badge. If you've been working through the db_errors, http://www.sdms.si:92/wikitree/ShowErrors.htm even on your own tree, then you qualify for the badge. Although you can work on them without the badge. So ask if you'd like to join and I'll give you the badge.

Sourcing is hard, but it does gets easier, as you get more familiar with what's available. You also never have to wander past your own family.
Then yes, I'd like to join, if for no other reason than to get recognition for the work I've already been doing, so far :)

I do sometimes color outside the lines, because its so easy to get sidetracked :)
I have been working on my watchlist errors and correcting those I find on profiles I source. I would like to have the Corrections Officer badge, too.

Hi Anne,
I've made corrections in my own line and now correcting some from my line that are orphans but I know the name and can make simple corrections.  I just renamed three unnamed infants, for example.  Not a badge collector as a goal but will take any that fit in the range of what I do anyway.

I'd like to join. I love the error report. It really has me thinking when everything looks fine, but there must be an error somewhere.

Thank

Susan

Hi, Linda. Welcome back and congratulations on the successful eviction. The Data Doctors have an new join thread. They won't see your message here. Thanks for bringing this old one to our attention so that we can get it closed out.

Thank you for you assistance.
