October 2017 Sourcerers Challenge

Hello, Sourcerers! It's time to start October's monthly sourcing! You can use this an opportunity to carry on the momentum from the Source-a-thon or to join in for the first time!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please let me know how many you sourced in the Source-a-thon if you participated--I will count those numbers towards your Sourcerers total as well :D Post here with any questions!

To participate:

Remember, your sources need to be as full and specific as possible, so others find them useful. That means, if the source is online, you should link to it. If it is a page from a book, the page number should be included so others can easily see where you found the reference. 

When you can, it's great to do a bit more while adding sources, like clean up the gedcom leftovers or help the formatting from older profiles. Sources are important, but if you can't find them among all the other stuff, they aren't helping as much as they could.

Onto October's challenge:

You only need to answer the post once, and just edit your post to add your new profiles, continuing in a comment on your answer as necessary. Please number your contributions (a number every ten or hundred works just fine). It helps us tally at the end of the month much faster. See last month's challenge for examples.

* All profiles improved must come from the Unsourced categories or be already present on WikiTree and unsourced-you cannot create new profiles and add sources just to up your tally. The hope and goal is to improve the numbers already on WikiTree that need sources. Adding sources will help merges happen, too, which will improve our tree. Showing folks what sources you're using helps newer researchers see just what's available out there for us to access. Another great source of unsourced profiles is to check out orphaned profiles.

* The tally is of profiles improved, not sources added. That said, if you can add a number of sources to a profile, all the better. Maybe we'll switch things up and see how many sources added y'all can do one month.

* If you attempt to add sources to a profile and just cannot find any, please add a note under a == Research Notes == section giving where you tried to find records and you can sign it with the four tildes (~~~~) so the date is applied as well. Something like "Looked for John in the US Census records for 1900-1940 and couldn't find him on FamilySearch or Ancestry" would be fine. Or, "Searched google for an obituary and didn't find one." That way the next researcher knows where to start.

* If the only source on a profile is "Ancestry tree" or "Geni.com" it can count as unsourced, and you can add better sources to it to count in your tally.

* If you find a match and can merge a profile into an already sourced profile, that counts, too. You still found a source, plus you eliminated a duplicate. Awesome!

We are now actively in our October Challenge, which will run through October 31st (Happy Halloween!). Ask any questions here in the thread, otherwise, SOURCE!

You need to post an answer to this question to keep track of your sourcing. It gets far too confusing to keep track in comments. :)

Hi, Gwen,

You need to click the "Answer" link under the question and post an answer to track your score for the challenge. If everyone tried to keep adding in the comments section no one would be able to figure it out.

You can add comments to your own answer to add additional profiles as you go.

While scrolling through with my up vote view I came across a question from a new volunteer about sourcing.  She asked if notes left on locked profiles
counted towards her total.  I replied no, based on discussions I had read in G2G in the past and she adjusted her total based on my answer.  Her question had been unnoticed for more than a week.  I went back to the
original monthly introduction paragraphs and it tells what to do if there are no found sources but nothing about being unable to source a locked profile.  Maybe a line could be included to that effect in the same
paragraph for other new volunteers.  The numbers indicate we are having more people participating each month.  That is great.
That's a very good idea, Beulah.

Wait! We can count our Source-A-Thon totals?
Yes, please do! Just copy the number here :)
But shouldn't we only count the Oct part of the Source-athon?
You can count the whole source-a-thon challenge total since I closed the September challenge a day early : )
Ok that's good!!

I'm in this month. I was race bib #009 in the Source-A-Thon and added sources to 323 profiles.
by Debi Hoag G2G6 Pilot (395k points)
+21 votes

Have never done a Source-A-Thon or challenge before, because I thought profiles had to be marked as Unsourced. I read this though: "All profiles improved must come from the Unsourced categories or be already present on WikiTree and unsourced-you cannot create new profiles and add sources just to up your tally."
So if I am adding proper sources to my cousins' GEDCOM imports that are *not* marked as Unsourced, that counts? Thanks.

by Darcie Light G2G6 Mach 2 (22.9k points)
Yes, that's exactly right! The only thing that doesn't count are profiles that you just added this month and then subsequently added sources to. Hope that clarifies things : )
