Hello Janet, I have to post this publically because you are not accepting emails without prior approval.

You seem to be under some misapprehension about the changes I made. I fully agree with you about collaboration, which is why, as a WikiTree team member, I changed to privacy level of the profiles you noted from Unlisted to Red Private level. The setting of Unlisted which you had certainly would prevent collaboration. None of the changed profiles had an Open or Public Privacy level. It is not for me to make them more open than the Red privacy level, as WikiTree rules allow WIkiTreers to maintain a Private level for immediate relatives of living people. Of course, that is a change that you can make if you want to further increase collaboration on those profiles by extending the change from the original Unlisted status toa more open privacy level than I selected. In actual fact, if you edited the date of birth of an Unlisted to anything before (currently) 1925, it would automatically change to the Orange Privacy level (even if the date was already before 1925).

The profiles which were Unlisted that I changed were automatically made Unlisted when the European GPDR rules came in some years ago. This was because there were penalties of up to 20 million Euros or 4 percent of turnover for a business that ignored the rules. Individuals can also be fined, but the penalty varies up to 10,000 Euros. Since then they have remained Unlisted as each year clicked over. I manually change them to red Private when they are discovered so that they then become discoverable. You cannot use the Unlisted privacy level if you create a profile with a birth date before 1925, but you can select a lower level of private, Public or Open.

I do also change profiles by adding a date when they should be unlisted, but had no date. That is not the case regarding your profiles. I must do this or I am in breach of the GPDR rules and liable fo be fined.

There were also a few profiles of yours which were changed from Public to Open as they now fell into being born more than 150 years ago, or died more than 100 years ago. This was as the result of an Open Profile Request by another WikiTreer.

I hope this explains everything. It is not possible to change those profiles back to Unlisted as the dates are outside the range where a profile can be Unlisted.

Regards Paul the WIkiTree team

Janet,

Many thanks for all your hard work on our great Clan! I've only been able to trace my lineage back as far as the mid-19th century so far, but I trust that eventually I'll connect my tree to some of the work you've done. Best, Jill Gunn

Hi there, Janet!

Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared (over 300!) made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

Hi Janet, Thank you for your message. Perhaps I can interest you in creating a space page for the R-38 Airship disaster in 1921. Then you could also post your ancestor, Charles Ivor Rae Campbell on the space page and perhaps other victims as well. . If that interests you it would involve you, and of course be a boon for the Disasters Project. Joan Williams Whitaker and Lizzie Griffiths are the new leaders and I am the Project Coordinator..

Hi Janet,

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

Hi, I noticed your comment about Whitchurch Canonicorum and Beauchinhaye manor. I did a search of the local history centre catalogue. (You may have done this yourself but if not . There is a Battiscombe archive. http://dcc.dorsetforyou.com/calmview/TreeBrowse.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&field=RefNo&key=D-257

The 'archive' (it's actually just part of a box ) contains, amongst other family records, a letter about the site of the manor. If you think that there is anything that might be of interest I could check it out for you Helen

Hi Janet

Hi. Sorry but there is another set of your profiles that have the same problem. Could you also please update these as well?

Many thanks

hi. A number of the profiles you manage are showing in the kent errors list as they have "probably" in the location fields. If you are not sure of a location can you please take out the word probably and instead flag the field with the uncertain button. These are the profiles that have this problem

Blackmore-311 Burtonshaw-1 Crighton-15 Goldup-86 Mahon-322 Setterfield-13 Sharp-2908 Wells-6373 Wilcock-73 Willis-2641

Would really appreciate it if you can update these as we are working hard to clear up the errors list. Thanks
