Thank you very much. As I am new to this site I think it wiill me take some time to get used with all of its functions.
Thank you for what you're doing with the DataDoctors. Here's what we're doing with the Profile Improvement Project. You're welcome to join us if you've got extra time.
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.
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:
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.
Sincerely,
Debi Hoag and Robin Shaules Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project
I would like to (try) to continue to work on my watchlist profiles, but could help with Level 2 - Profiles from Closed Accounts and profiles identified as needing help by having the maintenance categories of Long Profiles and Profiles Lacking Inline Citations.
I would like to join the PIP Google Group, and I do have an account on Discord, although I find that many of the conversations are lost as most members of various projects aren't there. I have connection issues with Discord, and while I get notifications of chats I belong to, the notification and the messages aren't the same. We can discuss this on Discord if you'd like. (See what I did there? :-)
For Google Groups I need to use my Gmail account due to the Google reign. I won't post it here, but email me, and Debi has it as we have emailed through that account before.
As PC for the DD Project, I often conduct 1:1 sessions on Zoom with new Data Doctors, most of which are also relatively new to WikiTree. I use all I learned during the PIP Voyage, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and recommend the guidelines I learned and show the tips & tricks to streamline their work in DDs, and bio improvement and sourcing as the PIP Project so perfectly outlines. I hope this work helps the PIP Project also, as I also suggest to the members I work with to take the Voyage.
I hope that when my "life" issues settle down, I can participate more and possibly as a guide as the project needs more.
Other suggestions I will email at another time. Thank you both for all you do, and I appreciate the work towards making biographies beautiful. If I can't have a narrative for every source, and every life event has a source with the life event categories, stickers, census tables and create a picture of the day in the life of the person to add interest and how it was, I can't start, because the voyage made me need to complete it. I look at every profile I want to work at as I was looking out to sea on my cruise. What fun!
Take care, Sheryl

Thank you so much for welcoming me to WikiTree right away after I joined. I appreciate your suggestions and offer of help on how to get started here. It made me glad that I joined! 😊 Bass

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:
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!
This is the semi-annual polling for the US Southern Colonies Project. This check-in with members is to see if you have been active in the last six months in this project and want to remain a member of US SC?
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins.
I look forward to hearing from you.. Many thanks,
Mary, Project Coordinator, - Membership US Southern Colonies Project

Interesting! - it is fun to find connections you never knew about. Thanks for letting me know.
As you may have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the US Southern Colonies Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. We have also changed the criteria for membership. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know whether you would like to remain in the project and, if so, which team(s) you would like to be in.
Please can you also send me your e-mail address. I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders and are in the Google Group.
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins. We’re really excited for the future of the project and hope that you decide to be a part of it with us moving forwards.
Many thanks,
Susie, US Southern Colonies Project Co-Leader

I do not care what anyone says, This is the very best team around. This team has dealt with homelessness, pneunonia, friends and family dropping in, plans changing, computer issues and more. We all still got in and sourced as best we could.
You are an amazingly awesome team and I am so blessed to have you all in Legacy Heirs. I hope to have you all back next year.

THANKS So Much for all your help. So appreciative for you sharing your knowledge about genealogy.
