Challenge of the week: Improve orphaned profiles

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

Will you join our "Data Doctors" Challenge of the week?

Once again, Aleš has come up with something to help us work together on a category of profiles that need our help. This time it's "orphans," i.e. profiles without Profile Managers.

Here is the list of orphaned profiles that could use some TLC.

Will you join us?

Every time you record a status update it will earn you a point. The member with the most points at 11:59pm EDT on Sunday night will get the Winner badge this week and the bragging rights. But we'll all benefit from a neater, cleaner shared tree.

If you're participating, please post here to let us know. It's nice to cheer each other on. Or post if you have any questions about how to participate.

Thanks for helping!

PS If you want to chat or coordinate what you are working on with others, in addition to this G2G post there is a handy spreadsheet courtesy of Steven Tibbetts.

I have done a couple of orphaned profiles (built bio's, added sources and missing dates and places) but how in the heck do I find the status to update them?  All the ones I tried to do through DD_Challenge_Orphaned_Profiles were all private profiles and not able to be edited.  Maybe I should just stick to the other things I know how to do.

Answer 5

I can work on a few.

Answer 6

Count me in this week.

Answer 7

While I would never participate in a data doctors challenge, I would like it if the state and regional lists could be broken out by orphans. Just saying.

Answer 8

I'll work on some.

Answer 9

I can do some xxx

Answer 10

Thanks for the link, Aleš.

Now I can work on two things at once.

Answer 11

I will work on some

Answer 12

I can help with a few.

But I am perplexed by profiles with a comment that USA/United States was removed from locations that were prior to 1776. However, that incorrect location was still there - or was replaced again.
