Will you participate in the Source-a-Thon? (1 of 5) [closed]

Question

Registration is open for the Source-a-Thon! 

It will be going for 72 hours straight, September 30 - October 2, to kick off Family History Month. We're including Monday so that those who are busy on the weekend can still participate. 

This thread is closed.  Please post in the current registration thread to join: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/469111/will-you-participate-the-source-thon-current-registrations

Do I get a Sourcer badge also for this too.

Count me in......Team GB :)

Perhaps we could in future consider having validation-thons instead of sourcing-thons, because these are two different issues. Profiles with sources do not make them necessarily valid profiles. Half-cited sources (meaning: not strictly according to citation instructions general and on websites as are specifically stated) do also not validate profiles. And incorrectly added sources can actually de-validate profiles (has happened during the previous thon). So precise "sourcing" instructions should be included (in my humble opinion) in this thon, with specific attention to the detail of "how to add to existing bio's" - for example not removing the <references /> at the bottom.

---

Cheryl it's not the source a thon yet. Do you want to post these to this months Sourcerer's challenge. https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/454780/september-2017-sourcerers-challenge?show=454780#q454780

---

Oh my goodness... What a goof I made.  So sorry.  How do I post them to the source a thon challenge?  Is it copy and paste to the link you supplied?

---

The Source a thon does not start until Sept 30, so the profiles you listed cannot count for the source a thon.

To post them to the Sourcere's Challenge. Yes you can just copy paste on the linked page (Make sure the links copy). Start an answer of your own. If you want to add to the list during the rest of Sept. you can edit your answer.

---

Oh I'm so flustered..
Lousy making mistakes like this...and I have it ony calendar for the 30th!!!   Ok...to the sourcers challenge as soon as I'm done baking my husband's birthday cake...

---

Umm Happy Birthday to your hubby. I made mine a birthday cake just a few days ago.

---

Happy belated birthday to your hubby...

I had to add the 5 "0's" because WT asked for at least 5 characters.

Cheryl

Answer 6

Happy to be on any team!

Comments

I claim Lucy for the Kiwi Crew team, if she doesn't mind. Thanks.

Unless she really would prefer to join a British team.

---

Super, Lucy, thanks! Already stocking up on the DP??  You're number 46. 

---

I have no problem with being an honorary Kiwi!

 

No DP shopping yet Eowyn, but I should probably start!

---

Thanks Lucy!!

---

I would have tried to grab you earlier, Lucy, but that might be considered stacking our team a bit heavy ;-)

---

Thank you for your generosity Emma.

That is why I grabbed her. Coz Lucy is a superstar sourcerer!!

I even found a way for her to continue using British sources but still helping NZ profiles. That is her forte.

He he he

---

Yes Emma, as much as I would love to join you and Charlotte, I think it would get a bit silly with us all in the same team!

---

Lucy - Lucy! We at Team GB-Gen will be weeping alongside Emma. Robynne, you rotter! ;o)

---

Smart Robynne, very smart!!

It will be great competing against you Lucy, you keep me on my toes and make me achieve more :-)

---

Everyone is fighting over you Lucy!  No pressure to win or anything ;-)

---

Oh my goodness, All this fuss over little ole me staking a claim!!  LOL

---

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy! :( LOL Not sure if I'll be able to keep up this year since I won't be able to get that Monday off after just starting the job. LOL

Answer 7

I can play that game.

I'm best suited with sources for Michigan and Detroit River Region. Superior Sourcers looks like best fit of existing groups.

Comments

Awesome, Richard, thanks! You're number 47.

Answer 8

I'll play!!!

Are we reviving the Dust Bunnies??

Comments

We are!  You're number 48.

Answer 9

Hi Eowyn, I would like to stay in the UKleaners team as last year.  

Can we combine UK Leaners and Impressive Isles into one team?

Comments

Great, thanks, Leigh! Yeah, we can combine those too.  You're number 49.

---

Actually, I thought we had combined UKleaners into Team GB-Gen (see our Thon page)

https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Team_GB-Gen%27s_Thon_Page

---

It makes more sense to combine them (saw this has now happened) - thanks!

Answer 10

I would like to join in too. Enjoyed working with the Southern Super Sweepers, so standing again with them.  Thanks! Sandra.

Comments

Great, Sandra, thanks! You're number 50.

Answer 11

Count me in, I'm with the Flying Dutch so(u)rcerers...

Comments

Super, thanks, Jan! You're number 51.

---

Jaaay Jan welcome to the team ! :D

Answer 12

Yes, I want to participate on Team Roses (A Rose by Any Other Name).

Looking forward to it again!

Comments

Go Roses!

---

Awesome, S, thanks! You're number 52.

Answer 13

I'm not a emma or a charlotte but I willing to help out where needed.

Comments

We would love to have you on our team.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Legacy_Heirs

---

Sure thanks

---

Woooo Hooo!!! Welcome to the Team, Steve!

---

Thanks, Steve!  You're number 53.

Answer 14

I'm in ! I was a Rose for Clean-A-Thon, but I haven't decided yet which team to join. I plan to do pre-1500 (which takes time) and/or French sourcing (which is slow, as French resources are not indexed), so I should not be in a super-competitive team.

Comments

Go Isabelle!!

---

Awesome, Isabelle, thanks! You're number 54.

---

And the team is "The Musty Dusty Team".

---

You will still be our honorary member though ;-)

---

Yes! And I'll be happy to share the excitement ;-)

---

Oh well, I just heard that the Musty Dusty Team is now part of GB-Gen, which means I must find another team.

---

I saw that.  I know there are others who are wanting to do the same time period as you. Maybe a new team?

---

Hello Isabelle

If you wanted to start a new team: Robin Lee set up the CLEAN-a-Thon 'Musty, Dusty' team, don't know whether she wanted to create a SOURCE-a-Thon version.  If not - well, it was your suggestion, so you're probably going to be it! ;o)  I've got several Pre-1500 people on Team GB-Gen who might prefer to be on your team.Talk to Eowyn and see what she wants you to do.

---

Hi Isabelle,

No, Musty Dusty are remaining their own team, with John A. leading. Unless you indicate otherwise, I'll add you to the list for them.

Abby

---

Yes please, count me in with the Musty Dusty team.

Thank you, Abby !

Answer 15

Count me in again this year, I'm with the Kiwi Crew.

Willing to participate in the 2017 Source-a-Thon.  I take it that last year's registration does not count...

Mary Richardson-7161 (Texas)

Comments

Thanks Mary!  You're number 56.

---

Hi Mary,

If you get a chance, check out the teams forming and pick one to join to contribute with during the Thon: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Source-a-Thon_Teams. Just comment back here to let us know which one you choose. If you haven't decided by the day before the Source-a-Thon, the Admin Team will make sure you're on one.

(PS Dixie Darling needs a team leader, and a lovely Southern Lady like yourself seems to fit the role ;-) )

Thanks!

Abby

---

Thank you for the great compliments.  When I signed up for the Sourcathon, I signed up with Southern Super Sweepers, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Southern_Super_Sweepers

Leader is Dorothy Barry and I am co-leader..  If you run into other members needing a team, send them our way.  The more the merrier.

Mary
