Goals

Any improvements you can make to the profiles of the Japanese Project are welcome, but here are some specific goals we're working towards:

  • For each person:
    • All duplicates merged into the final lowest profile ID number.
    • Final ID locked, marking the profile as project protected (must be done by one of the Project Leaders), if the profile meets those requirements
    • Japanese template included on the page (See Templates below)
    • All relevant categories are added, including the [[Category:Japanese Project]] category
    • Parents are correct and documented
    • Biography is cleaned up, free of any GEDCOM junk, Ancestry trees, etc., and ideally has an actual written biography.
    • Children are linked if able
    • Link Profile to Global Family Reunion
    • Create Cemetery Category if known
    • Create City freepages and link profiles to city and region categories
    • provide gravestone picture if possible

To Do List

These are ways you can volunteer to help with the project; specific tasks linked to G2G discussions so it is easy to collaborate!

  • Create regional categories for Japan. Karen Tobo created the English categories for the 47 prefectures of Japan within the eight regions of Japan described in ISO 3166-2:JP. See Category:Japan. We should probably also create these categories in the Japanese language.

Members

Project members can take primary responsibility for a specific Japanese Family and work on merging duplicates, cleaning up profiles, adding sources, and removing incorrect information. If there isn't a particular family that interests you, you can contribute to any of these tasks on any profiles,

  • Matt Pryber
  • Karen Tobo - I'll work on my in-laws and start thinking about how to connect with other researchers.
  • Nicolas LaPointe - I will work on connecting the Japanese clans to the global family tree.
