Yes I have been active with the Military and War project within the last six month. I served myself in the US Army for 20 years, and love to do profiles of deceased women who served in the Women's Army Corps as did I in the 60's and 70's before it was disbanned.

I intend to continue to do so as so many now are reaching the age of 80's - 100. Some I have known personally, some I trained in basic training as a Drill Sergeant, so please keep me onboard with the project.

Sincerely Dorothy M Barry, MSG E-8, (Former WAC and US Army NCO).

Thank you Dorothy and thanks for your service. If I am reading correctly, the Women's Army Corps was disbanned. Do you want to do a Free Space page on the Women's Army Corps and include its history??? I know we have a bit about it, but I do not think.... it included it being disbanned....

At any rate I am marking you V Active.

Hi Mary...

This is a draft of a freespace page showing a bit of history of the Women's Army Corps (WAC) at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:United_States_Women%27s_Army_Corps_%28WAC%29. What do you think?

Looking great. I knew you could do it, you've done it before.

I attached so we do not lose it on Military and War page.. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Military_and_War#Subproject_Space_Pages

We can always move it after you finish if you think it is just WW II. I kept reading to decide where it needed to be attached..

Hello Dorothy,

We wrote to you about the changes in the Profile Improvement Project (PIP) a couple of weeks ago. If you would like to continue with the Project, we can place you in the Biography Team, Level 1 where you can work on improving profiles from your own watchlist to Level 1 of the Profile Standards.

We would like to hear from you with any ideas or suggestions. If you do not wish to participate in the Project, please let us know. If we don’t hear from you within 7 days we will remove you from the Project, but we will welcome you back at any time.

Thanks Debi; that would be fine to place me in the Biography Team, Level 1 where I can work on improving profiles from my watchlist to Level 1 of the Profile Standards.

I do plan on staying in the United states mostly however. I am going on 73 so have slowed down a whole lot due to health issues, but have most of my watchlist up to date (but always checking for improvememts).

I also do profiles from the "random" list that comes out when you click on : https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/nelson3486/random. So many profiles have no biography narratives what-so-ever, so that is where I do my most work.

Sincerely, Dorothy B.

Thanks, Dorothy. That's a neat trick with the Random profile from Jamie's app; I hadn't tried that one yet. Let us know if you have any questions or suggestions on how to make the project better. Debi

Dear Dorothy,

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team who guide new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. Please let us know which team(s) you would like to participate in.

For those of you who joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018, we would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you plan to join the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If you’re at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.

We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:

Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.

We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

Thank you Dorothy for letting me know I needed to indicate my interest in joining the February Integrators Challenge. I think I signed up correctly and have begun with a new profile I created for famous Actor Harold "Hal" Rowe Holbrooke. Will be working on him for a while. A lot of information and happenings around him.

Let me know if I need to do anything else. I am still new to all of this. Again Thank you very much. Alice

Thanks for updating Matthew Newton Roberson. I am a Roberson. I wish I had more time to study the Roberson family, but i am focusing on my Claunch tree right now. I plan to go to the Roberson reunion near Dallas as soon as covid is over.

My grandmother was Virginia May Roberson married William Wilkerson Clounch. He comes from the Claunch family.

Roberson allegedly is a sept of the viking Clan Gunn so i wear a Gunn Modern tartan. However, it may possibly be part of the Clan Roberston from the earls of Atholl (Robert the Bruce is progenitor). I am 5% viking but i may get that from elsewhere. I would love to know which Clan we are from. i have traced the family to Abbeville south Carolina, and i know they came from new York, but where in ireland they were is unknown. And of course they were forced to abandon Scotland and moved to Ireland, and that did not work out so well. The Scot-Irish are complicated.

Hi Dorothy, Looking good. I posted your newest addition under Weather Disasters, in a table next to your last Tornado write-up https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:World_Wide_Disasters_Project_-_Weather_Team. Thanks so much. Is it possible to see if you have any wounded or deaths victims after the workers have more complete reports on the data. If you find victims, do you want to write the profile on the wounded person or deceased as an addition , then post them to the space page ?
posted by Mary Richardson
Thank you Mary for doing that. On your question, Most likely victims will be listed as funeral arrangements are made. found out a couple of children were killed. Not sure it is good idea to do profiles on them as family members would still be living,grief would be unreal, and would be unable to connect them at this point. Maybe an older person who doesn't have living relatives I could do. We will see.

Hi Dorothy,

On behalf of the Disasters Project Leaders we are carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work in the past.

We have recently made a lot of changes. We are changing the focus of the project to include more about people involved in disasters and the effect it had on them and their families. We have divided the project into teams. Please have a look https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Disasters

Please let me know, by comment on my profile or a private message, whether you are still active in the project, and which team(s) you would like to work with. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed?

We're looking forward to hearing back from you,

Joan and Lizzie

Incredibly great work during the 2020 Scan-a-thon! Our Tree has been enhanced by your efforts to preserve photos and documents,

I am working on the Sourcerers Challenge for the first time. I have been looking for sources. I think I clicked the Integrators Button instead of the Sourcerers button for December for one of the profiles I was working on. I am sorry about the confusion. I look forward to trying the Integrators Challenge some other month, because I have learned a lot this month working on the Sourcerers Challenge. Thank you for your support and I am sorry for the error. Anne

Hi Dorothy!

Thank you for your message. I actually marked that box by mistake! I'm sorry. I meant to mark the Oct2019 Sourcers' Challenge. Some combination of working a bit too quickly and needing new glasses struck!. I can officially sign up and work on an integration if you wish ... but I wasn't originally planning on it. Please let me know your preference.

Hi Dorothy! Pretty sure that was a mistake, I've been doing the cemeteries challenge this month and might have accidentally tagged an entry as integrators. Sorry! -D
