Thanks so much, Adrien! I can add the Notables sticker!

Adrien, I cannot find the profile for Johnston-17362! Is this correct? Can you add the URL? Thanks

Hi Adrien,

Can you add a bit of biography to this profile from wikipedia, and perhaps use FamilySearch for birth and marriage before we list him as a Notable? People need to know why he is notable. Thanks!

There's an obit in The Guardian if you want to add a link to that. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/sep/12/daniel-johnston-obituary

Why has the profile got a privacy setting, Adrien? Nobody can get in there to help build the bio.  At the moment there is nothing as a bio other than the initial info drop, and the Wikipedia link is just a link to Wikipedia home page, not his profile.  He can't be added as a Notable yet.

Adrien, can you please open Daniel Johnston's profile so that people can edit and connect?

Or, please add Sharon Casteel and Kenneth Evans and Profile Managers along with you. Add them to the Trusted list. Contact one of us if you need assistance. Thank you very much!

Answer 2

I made a profile for his father, Johnston-17366, and will add a bit from there. They'll need to be linked once Daniel's profile is opened.

Answer 3

He will be connected tomorrow through his maternal GF side.

Thanks Mark.  All the more reason for us to build his bio.
