How do I undo changes made by Ebot

Question

Ebot added a source that was already on a profile.  I want ebots removed or to be able to add a note to it which it does not allow.

Answer 1

Do you have a profile as an example? I'm not exactly sure what you mean. EditBot (ebot?) isn't going anywhere and only removes/renames things input by a human WikiTree team member.

Answer 2

Hi Debra, the only way sources get added is by users. A source might get duplicated if it is on two profiles that then get merged and the person doing the merge doesn't remove the duplicated info. Or sometimes people will add a version of a source that is free to access, if the one already on the profile is from a pay site like Ancestry. Wikitree is a collaborative site so we shouldn't be preventing people from adding sources. If it is an exact duplicate, just remove it.

Answer 3

EditBOT definitely didn't add sources. Probably it did some edit. Can you provide the profile, so I can take a look at change history.
