Yes, please! Usually, profiles from GEDCOMs are pretty bare bones, and a lot of work is needed to bring them up to snuff.

And how do I take the sources from GEDCOMs and add them to my premade profiles?
Copy and paste would be the best way.
I mean copy and paste from the Ancestry tree - not from the GEDcom.
Thank you
I use a desktop genealogy program and format my sources for Wikitree (to include coding). It makes it a really simple copy/paste.
I routinely import without sources and add in-line citations in a second step.
Good idea
