1-a) >> but Magnus please could you try to tone down some of your comments as sometimes your posts and responses come across as overly negative and that’s turning people
OK I feel it's just Dale chasing me... I would wish he was more constructive...
1.b) Gedcoms imports have advanced greatly in 5 years so many of the bad imports seen are historic.
Do you have numbers on that!??! I did a check and it was one out 200 uploaded GEDCOMs that had sources see blue dot upper left below. Even if a family tree has no Project Database errors it could be just of no value as sources are missing....
I understand Aleš point of view that he has no sources in his country but then its not genealogy in my cubic world... I don't understand either why getting 12 generations family tree with nearly no sources is more important than to create good profiles about your grandparents....
see G2G uploading 1500 profiles and 100 sources is not serious...
1.c) my personal feeling is that too many people upload GEDCOMS and do nothing more which I feel is sad, but I have no numbers on that and have seen no polls why people don't continue with WikiTree... I feel people arguing on G2G is Dale and me and a few more people but not everyone so why people leave would be interesting to understand....
1-d) my intention with this post is just to see how all the magic Aleš has done can be used even better and maybe more efficient....
A) The Normal WikiTree user how often do they use Project Database Error?
I guess the tool is stealth for many.... is that good or bad? Maybe some people get upset to see that they have an error in the family tree...
2) better training..... maybe use some polls and ask people what they miss see example poll - bold or polite take 10 minutes to create a poll using Google Forms....and you often get answers pointing on things you never thought of...
3) change the user interface - I like the way locations has been implemented, even if the Family Search database could be better its 1000 times better than just a line and you get the country for free.. .... maybe more things like that
4-1) Bots: My bot candidate is things like reformat GEDCOM garbage that has never been touched... delete all CONT
4-2) Empy profiles with a template I guess is just a Chris database SQL query if size < 50 char then {{Unsourced}} time to make 1400 millisec
5) The Database Error project: I think Aleš should sell it to Ancestry, Family Search but I guess at least Ancestry has no interest they have a business idea focus on subscribing users and not genealogy quality... or?
6) More errors: Don't agree what is the problem with more errors?!?!? The problem is not finding errors?!?! When I start looking at a profile and then realizing that the whole family tree is unsourced and of no value one hour later you are not happy.
Much better check with Database Error and understand this family tree you cant trust...
