Errors in dates of birth, death and marriage corrected but still showing as errors

Question

All my Errors in dates of birth, death and marriage corrected according to accepted format (month DD, YYYY) but still showing as errors after the Monday error run

I'm not prepared to go through them all to indicate the errors are false.

Answer 1

I think they are all back again because you did not remove the phrase "Could not interpret..." - and that was the original error.

Thanks Ros, but what does ' uncleared gedcom' mean and how can I correct it

The dates which could not be interpreted have all been corrected in accordance with the Wikitree style

It is the sentence "Could not interpret date in [Birth/Death/Marriage] Date (..." which triggers the error. Same for names.

You have to clean up the narrative - the Biography section of the profile. Remove the sentence from the biography. It is only leftover junk from the gedcom download anyway and not really informative once the dates have been inserted in the profile.

This help page is a guide to cleaning up Gedcom-generated biographies. It tells you what can/should be deleted.

Lots of profiles have been updated but trigger the error anyway because of this.

Hi Isabellle

Careful perusal of the biography on a profile with errors confirms the hidden message which triggers the error

As a result of your help I have cleared most of the errors now

Thank you so much
