Thank you for correcting the Biography of Samuel J. Bennett 1859-1929. I am very new to Wiki Tree and still learning. My biggest questions are in the formats. Hopefully, I will get the hang of it soon.
The formatting techniques take some getting used to. But, learning maybe a handful of special character usage rules gets you going. Lots of examples to look at and people that love to mentor makes things easy.

Charles Avis: It appears that you have edited Malcolm B Parker's WikiPage. This could represent my GFA - MBPSr, or my father MBPJr, or me: MBP3rd.

I have filled in some blanks which were open, presuming from partial information that this represented my father [dates] It is possible that you entered over previously complete information. Feel free to contact me if you have a direct interest in Malcolm Bruce Parker DOB 1924

Malcolm,

As a member of the Data Doctors Project, all I did was add a missing <ref> tag so that the profile would display as intended. Oh, I also added the "Unsourced" template because no proper sources were listed. You can view the edits using the Changes tab on the profile. I know nothing about the individual.

Hi Charles,

As you will have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the US Southern Colonies Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. We have also changed the criteria for membership. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know whether you would like to remain in the project and, if so, which team(s) you would like to be in.

Please can you also send me your e-mail address. I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders and are in the Google Group.

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins. We’re really excited for the future of the project and hope that you decide to be a part of it with us moving forwards.

Many thanks,

Susie, US Southern Colonies Project Co-Leader

Susie,

I'm glad the Project has new life and organization. However, my WikiTree participation has been in other areas for a while. Therefore, I think I'll drop out of this Project. Thanks for checking and good luck. Charles

Hi Charles,

If you will click the links on your profile page, the links work here.

If you could please give us a general idea of how you have been contributing to the Southern Colonies for the last couple of months, it would be helpful to the leaders.

If you are not actively contributing to the project's tasks and goals on a regular basis, please allow us to remove you from the member list so that Paula J, leader knows who is actively working on the project.

Hi Charles!

On behalf of the Southern Colonies Project, I am doing a six-month check-in with members to see what aspects of the project interest them most and whether they have suggestions for additional project goals.

Are you active in other Southern Colonies Subprojects, such as Southern Pioneers Project? All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your ancestors.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Please try Southern Pioneers Stickers on profiles to show your roots.

Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.

Thank you for being a Wikitreer,

HI,

Your work is appreciated.

Thanks

Hello again,

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour.

Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.

You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

Feel free to message me if you have questions,

Susie - Wikitree Messenger :-)

Hi,

You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.

There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.

Please let one of us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!

Susie - Wikitree Messenger :-)

Hi again,

You have been here for a while now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know all of us a little better.

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

Have questions? We want to help! Click the name above any of your comments, then ask in the comment section of that volunteer's page.
