Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

I notice that you created a pre-1700 profile, Robert Moreis (1660-), on 29 October 2022 using Ancestry.com as your only source. Then today you added a son, William Moreis (1744-) who is 84 years younger than him, also with just Ancestry.com as a source. Please make sure that you add a reliable source to any pre-1700 profile at the time you create the profile, or when adding other relationships, as per Help:Pre-1700 Profiles. This is a link to reliable sources for pre-1700 Scotland profiles - Scotland - Reliable Sources. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact me. You might also consider joining the Scotland Project to collaborate with other WikiTree members researching in Scotland.
Kind regards Gillian
A couple of things to note. Per the Name Fields Help the dit name should not go into the LNAB. I think I have also seen this on several projects, but will have to search to find this. The Help for Last Name at Birth says ""Dit" names should not go in this field. They can go in the Current Last Name, Other Last Name, or Nickname field, as appropriate. "
Also, the Sources FAQ does specify when the Unsourced Research Notes box should be used -- basically when there is not sufficient information for someone else to find the source (e.g., its too vague).

Regarding the merging of the 2 Czeslaw Krasa profiles, I had fell behind a bit and will review the merge soon.
Regarding the findagrave for him, I apologize for this delay as well. The following is the findagrave link for him that's managed by another member of his family.

Thank you very much for reaching out to me as I've been bouncing around a bit myself :-D
FYI... I had worked on his Lineage with the help from Chester & Edwina's daughter Mary (Krasa) Tilton. She's my mother in law (the mother of my late wife Jennifer).

I see you have added a father to the profile of Rae-340. Please could you let me have the evidence for this as someone else has a different father they want to add! Thanks Sarah
That would be your sister Lynn? It looks like in 2014 she created a profile for herself which was then merged with the profile you created since hers was a duplicate. It looks like she just recently signed our Honor Code. She only has about 14 profiles in her Watchlist so would not be able to edit private profiles she is not on the Trusted List for.
It looks like you added email addresses to your children's profiles. What that does is send them an invite to the site and upgrades them from an inactive profile to an active family member so they are manager of their own profile. You are still on the Trusted Lists of their profiles though.
Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few quick tips to help you dive in even deeper:
Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, Merging and Templates.
We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.
And we're always looking for volunteers to assist in different ways.
As always, I'm here to help!

As you go farther back in your tree, it is a good idea to do a search first to see if you have a match already created on Wiki Tree before creating a new profile. And keep in mind, if you do find a match, odds are the manager is also related to that person and probably you!
There is a great question to review on G2G regarding duplicate profiles and merges. See: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/51703/behind-merges-identifying-lowest-numbered-profile-correct
A great place to ask specific question is on G2G. Under My Wiki Tree (on of the links at top right) select G2G PROFILE. You can browse/ask/answer questions. You can also "tag" them by topic. I am a mentor, so let me know if you have any questions! Nae
