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.

Thanks again for signing the Honor Code some time ago. I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?
Thanks for adding so many profiles already. I see you mostly work in England, UK. The England project provides a free online training how to find sources and how to apply them to English profiles. I see Raewyn has not mentioned it, but everyone found the training helpful.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
When you're creating profiles, please ensure you add a country to the location fields. Some places repeat in other nations around the world and presently there is an effort to include mapping into the program. Also, please include a source. * Birth, Death and Marriage records written as is, is not a source - it's a vague notion of how one came by said information and doesn't tell us where to find these records. You clearly have access to these records as I've sourced a couple of your profiles and they're spot on, so my comment isn't a question of whether you know your information is good, but whether you can back it up.
Even a reference from the GRO for birth and death is helpful.
Here's a link which has pre-written citations you just need to change (names, dates and particulars), if that makes it easier. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:How_to_use_the_GRO#Example_Birth_Citation
Accessing GRO is free, but you do need to sign up for a free account.
Thank you for your contributions to Wikitree!
Kind regards,
Raewyn.
I would suggest starting with New Member How-to pages which may save you a lot of time and frustration. Don't be afraid to ask questions in our G2G forum and get involved as much or as little as works for you. Be sure to check out the tabs at the very top right hand side of your profile, there is lots to discover!
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person.
Enjoy the site!
