Once again it is time for our annual Ireland Project check-in.
1. Would you like to continue as a member of the project?
2. Do you have any suggestions for project priorities in the next year?
3. Do you have any interest in taking a more active role in the project and, if so, what might you be interested in doing?
A response to the check-in is one of the project’s few requirements for all members. Please either post a reply below or send me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume your interests have changed and you no longer have time to participate in the project.
Thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and to the Ireland Project.
Hi Jen, thanks for your message, and all your hard work in leading the Ireland Project. I think I need to bow out for now. I had thought I would be working more on Irish records this past year but that hasn't turned out to be the case. Should that change in the future I will let you know.
Hi Susie, Thanks for joining the Mighty Oaks for the Source a Thon. The event starts Friday 4th October 8 AM EDT (noon UTC) 1 pm GMT and runs until Monday, October 7th, 2024, at 8 AM EDT (noon UTC) 1 pm GMT. We look forward to you joining us
Please remember the Source-A-Thon is not tracked you need to click the challenge tab that appears at the top of profiles after you have saved them. Then click the button for the Source-A-Thon to score the point.
We all did a great job this weekend, thank you, for a job well done, we hope you had fun. The total for the event was 89,894 profiles created and sourced. The Mighty Oaks contributed 8,141 that's 809 more than in the last Thon. Thank you for working with us.
Thanks again for this weekend, see you for the October Source a Thon October 4-7 2024.
I think I've found an incorrect link of Edward Cartwright (1841-1870) to the Astley Deep Colliery Disaster 1874. The names in the disaster report don't match at all. I see an Aaron Cartwright with Wife Elizabeth and two teen-age children listed among the casualties. Edward's wife is Ann and they were married in 1863. I won't remove the sticker until I can confirm with one of the folks working on that incident, but am pretty confident we've tagged the wrong individual.
Thank you for contributing towards the goals of the England Project! Over the past year, a staggering amount has been done to improve English profiles on WikiTree and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
The England Project leadership like to check in with all our project members at least once a year.
Are you happy to stay in your current project team/s? Or is there another team you would like to join or become more active in?
Please reply to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you. Please also let us know if you have other feedback about the direction of the project.
Thank you for getting back to me. I thought you would be happy with you teams and so pleased that you are still around. I am fine. I hope that you are too. Thanks for all you have done and are still doing on WikiTree.

I am going to be your Greeter "Retrainer". Could you please private message me when you get a chance so we can get this party started. I think this will be very quick and painless. LOL!
Hi Susie. Just happened to see your name in a feed. Love to see it! You are one of the all-time most significant contributors to WikiTree. You transformed projects.
I wrote to you recently as part of the England Project's six-monthly check-in with our project members. I haven't heard back from you. I hope you are well.
If you could please drop me a quick note to confirm whether you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member, that would be very helpful.
If we do not hear from you within the next 2 weeks, we will assume you are no longer active in the England Project and remove you from our list of project members. You would be most welcome to re-apply to join the project at a later time by signing-up on the project’s G2G welcome post.
Oh no! Did you miss the Wales Project Semi-Annual Check-In posted below? Did I miss your response?
I hope all is well with you.
Please take a minute to post a reply to confirm you are still interested in the project and wish to remain an active member.
Let us know about your contributions during the last 6 months.

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!
This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months.
In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.
We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:
If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general
We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.
Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!
Sincerely,
Amy Gilpin

We wrote to you about the check-in for Profile Improvement Project (PIP) a couple of weeks ago. Would you like to continue in Biography Team Level 1 where we have placed you? That's the Team that works on improving profiles from both your own watchlist and projects you are involved with to Level 1 of the PIP Profile Standards.
If you do not wish to participate in the Project, please let us know. If we don’t hear from you within 7 days we will remove you from the Project, but we will welcome you back at any time. We would like to hear from you with any ideas or suggestions.
The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- 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.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with a higher-level Bio Team or one of the other Teams.
You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile from your own watchlist that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.
We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. If you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID. 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 and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:
Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.
We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.
Hi there, I recently put a request in to be added top the trusted list of two family members on my mother's side of the family tree (My great grandfather and mother).
