I noticed that you're working on pre-1700-era profiles, such as Mast-1288 and Hetzel-474, without adding sources. This is a reminder that certifying to work on these types of profiles means that you agree to add valid sources at the time of profile creation, as outlined in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz.
If you need help with this, our G2G Forum is a great place to start. You can get there by clicking the link on the Help menu.
Thank you, Francesca
Regarding the Marx Hetzel profile, I would like to note the following: I created this profile this morning and immediately added primary source information for all of the information contained in the profile. All citations also include Ancestry Sharing Templates, which allow the reader to verify the information. This painstaking work took me several hours. If source citations of this nature are not sufficient in your opinion, I will immediately discontinue my work at wikitree.com. I would like to note in this context that all profiles of my family tree at wikitree.com are based on thorough research using primary sources. All sources are cited and additionally contain information about secondary sources such as so-called "Ortssippenbücher" (OSBs) if available. After all, I think that this way of editing a profile is much better in quality than transferring rudimentary information and cryptic source information from Gedcom files.
As for the Bernhard Mast profile, you may have overlooked that today, after creating the profile, I deleted the information originally started in that profile to facilitate my proposed merge with an existing profile. Unfortunately, the system was not smart enough to recognize that an older profile already existed, and my memory was too poor to recognize that I had already collaborated on the older profile; this was clearly my fault.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. If you disagree, please let me know.
Best regards Gerd
When I left my previous message the only thing on both profiles was "Coming soon". Now Hetzel-474 is fully sourced. :)

I am still interested in participating with the Project. Gerd
Since I'm still in the learning phase, I think it would be useful both for the wikitree community and for me to become a member of the translation project, where I could translate help pages, among other things. Happy Easter! Gerd
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
