Try to put at least one birth or death date or place on each profile. If you don't know an exact date then make an estimate and click before or after [whatever the date is]. This will make discovering duplicates so much easier.
Once you start creating profiles on WikiTree and see all the possible duplicates with no dates or places to compare, you'll understand the importance of this.
