To help celebrate WikiTree's 16th Anniversary in 2024, we are having a year-long event: 16 for 16!

Contents

What is 16 For 16?

Below is a list of "missions" participants can choose to complete. The goal is to complete 16 of the missions over the course of the year. This is the 2nd year WikiTree is running this challenge; see last year's 15 for 15 challenge for more info!

Participants who reach the objective will receive a "16 For 16" sticker they can add to their profile to show off their accomplishment. Bonus: There are also milestone stickers for "32 For 6" and "64 For 16" for participants wanting to go beyond 16.

Participating in this challenge helps you get to know more of the features and functions of the WikiTree site and have fun while doing it!


How to Participate

To accept this mission of missions, first go to this G2G post and reply with answer. Something as simple as "I'm going to participate!" works fine.

Then, choose missions from the list below that you want to complete and work on them throughout the year. When you complete a mission, reply to your G2G answer with a comment stating which one you've finished. We will then update the Challenge Tracker to show your progress!

When you've completed 16 missions, post an answer in this G2G post to get the sticker for your profile. If you go on to complete 32 or 64 missions, you can answer in the same post to get those stickers as well.

Darren Kellett created this free-space page with a tracker you can copy and paste elsewhere to document your progress throughout the year. As you make progress and post in G2G, this group 16 for 16 tracker will be updated to show your progress.

Under the 16 for 16, there are two main Cemetery projects;

I need to make sure I understand them clearly.

1. Profiles from a Cemetery Category

So I go to say Weston Cemetery in Weston, Umatilla County, Oregon and I find headstones, and take photos of the headstone (especially if it is not already on Find-A-Grave at that Cemetery) and I find their is presently no profile on WikiTree, so I can make one. It would be considered a profile from a Cemetery Category?

2. Profiles to a Cemetery Category.

I have a profile of say my father and I add a flower to his Find-A-grave and I note 3935 I have then added a Profile to a Cemetery Category?

Is this correct?

I am a little confused in how to count what I have done so if I have for example sourced 64 profiles of those who died young does this count as 1 mission or 4 when I am tallying up my work?

Thanks for your question - it counts as 4 missions! Each set of 16 is a mission. Hope that helps!
