There are several notes on the profile of Greeke-4 for whom you are PM concerning her Last Name at Birth and this is becoming a little silly with people adding Unknown as an Other Last Name (which raises a database error and gets people like me looking at it).
Could you please take a look at it. If you agree with the observations made could you change her LNAB to Unknown, If you don't could you please respond to the comments.
If you're not bothered either way then could you add me to her trusted list and I'll change her to Unknown.
Thanks
Derrick
I need your email address in order to add your ID as a profile manager. This request comes through as [email address removed] , without your email. Not sure why they did it that way, seems like I should be able to add a Wikitree ID as a trusted person.
Once on the trusted list, you can be 'promoted' to profile manager, and can change the LNAB.
I changed the LNAB to Unknown.
I only followed up with this posting to your profile as I had received no response after a week - as the next step before filing an Unresponsive PM request to get the profile orphaned so it could be mended.
Seems to me there is an issue with the messaging systems somewhere within wikitree or with you own e-mail not wanting to show you stuff coming from wikitree.
Thanks for fixing the issue with the profile.
Derrick
I recently made a trusted list request for the profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Reade-76 based on some primary source information I have found. If you could add me I would be really grateful. Cheers, Elizabeth :-)
We recently left a message on your profile to check in with the Profile Improvement Project (PIP). If you would like to continue with the Project, please let us know.

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members. Please review the following and respond to let us know that you are content with your current team or if you would like to be more involved.
The Project operates in a team structure. There are currently three participant PIP Teams -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
There are currently three different Biography Teams - The Biography Team, the Abandoned Team, and the Popular Team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team. The Biography Team works on profiles from their watchlist and other profiles that interest them.
Are you happy with the Team you are on? If you are interested in working with a different Team, please let us know.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (You will need your Wiki ID for both). Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.

Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members twice per year and it's that time again. Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks!

I sent you a trusted list request to be added to John Hodsoll-32's profile about a week ago. He is a direct ancestor of my family. Would you please add me? Thank you, S
How to add to your followed tags: On this page. Towards the top, look for the word "following" and a bunch of green "tags" At the end of the green "tags", look for the word "edit" and click. The edit page is fairly self-explanatory. The place to add new followed tags is towards the bottom "Add New Tags" Add the word mayflower and then a comment (such as who your Mayflower ancestor is) and click on Enter New TAG
Just checking in for the Mayflower Project. Please let me know if you're still interested in being part of the project.
If you would like to join in, please send me a private message with what teams you would like to be on, as well as the email you want to use for the google group. If you use a different email address for trusted list access on WikiTree, please note that as well.
I look forward to hearing back from you!
I’d like to invite you to join the WikiTree Ambassadors.

We are sorry to lose you as a member of the Categorization Project, but we understand that life gets busy and interests shift. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin the project in the future if you wish.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
Deb ~ Volunteer Coordinator
It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Categorization Project and as we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.
We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to the branches they are currently building. If this is the case for you, please let us know.
If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
Karen ~ Volunteer Coordinator

The Arborists Project is currently making some changes, starting with a change of the Arborists Project Google Group. The link to request to join the new group is on the Arborists Project page. Alternatively, if you send me your preferred email address for google groups, I can send you an invitation to join. Thanks for being part of the Arborists. Sarah and I look forward to you being involved as the Project moves forward. Gillian, co-Leader, Arborists Project
the profile Meigs-227, which I adopted as previously orphaned, carries a Notables project box which is throwing the suggestions complaint. I assume the notables project has no interest in him, so I would remove the box on cleanup weekend if there is no other suggestion. Just this week went to VMI museum, the people there were familiar with his son and grandson (who was killed nearby). I thought we might be related through the Fields name, as I have a Field line with a common Field ancestor to one of my late wife's Fields lines (her Fields grandmother has both lines). Not, according to Relationship Finder. Thanks, Tim
