As far as I can see, none of the modifications that I made before going to bed have been counted. eg below is one that I seem to have added correctly on 30.09.2017 at 8:24:40 (my time)

But my name is not in the table at

http://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTChallengesScores/Scores.htm?code=SourceaThon2017&Type=5

Is there something else that I need to be doing to my changes are counted?

Thanks

 

PS I have added it again and will look to see if it appears at the next update so we at east have one extra point. ;-)

When looking at a table of what has been accomplished by a team, what do "Normalized" and "Nr" mean?

Hi,

I’m obviously doing something wrong because the sources I’ve cleared aren’t being counted. How do get them to show and be counted?

 

Thanks

Thank you. ;)

Hi guys! Just under 12 hours to go. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for including me Eowyn.  Wish I had accomplished much more.  It was fun. :)  Have a beautiful day.

Answer 1

I think Eowyn and Julie should be awarded 5000 points each for organizing the Source-A-Thon - bit like in the first Harry Potter book, then we'll take them all by surprise and win. ;-)

I like the way you think!

Answer 2

Hi Merry Moppers!

I know some of you but others of you I haven't had the pleasure yet.  Would you take a minute and introduce yourself here and maybe share a little about you, your interests, what you might work on, anything else you want to share?  Thanks!

Answer 3

Hello Merry Moppers,

I'm really pleased to be in such a great team. 

I've been researching the family tree for a while now - when I can between dealing with the family. But I'm new here on Wiki and am still very much learning the ropes.

Our family is from Scotland so I thought I would concentrate on the unsourced profiles there if that is OK.

I also want to thank Julie and Eowyn for the really helpful video.  I had never used the Research feature before. It is so cool, so thanks for letting us how to use it. :-D

Cool, I'm glad the video was helpful!

Working on Scotland profiles would be great :)

Answer 4

Hi Everyone,

I have been dabbling in genealogy for many years, but I am brand new to Wikitree.  I join Mary in learning the ropes... but it should be fun, and productive!

I live in NY, but I have roots from coast to coast, so I will be helping wherever - I thought I would start with OH.
