About Data Doctors

Data Doctors improve profiles on WikiTree by working on suggestions identified in the database.

New Zealand Project members are also welcome to join us to work on their own suggestion list, and to learn more about the different types of suggestions and how to correct them, with the option of assistance from a "Data Doctor Guide".

What are "Suggestions"?

Suggestions are issues that appear on WikiTree profiles in the data fields and biography/sources sections.
Suggestion lists are updated once a week.

There are 3 types of suggestions:

Errors are incorrect entries and can result from typos or imports of GEDCOM that need to be corrected.

Warnings are produced by uncommon data due to a typo or unique information on profiles and need to be reviewed, and possibly corrected.

Hints are results of inconsistencies in linking to external databases, like Ancestry or others, caused by a typo, an incorrect link to the profile, or an issue that needs investigating, often, ideally by the profile manager.

Suggestions are graded by level of difficulty:

Easy: A great place to get started. Many suggestions in this group.

Intermediate: Require knowledge of WikiTree functions and proper formatting.

Advanced: May require multiple steps and research to resolve.

Our team will be focusing on "Easy" and "Intermediate" suggestions, however team members who are members of the Data Doctors Project may feel comfortable tackling more advanced suggestions.

Getting Started with Suggestion Reports

• Ask a question about anything you are unsure about.
• Find the suggestion in the New Zealand list of suggestions
• In the row for the suggestion, click on the number in the "Open" column. This will give you only open profiles to work on, see example.
• Click on a profile in the "Link" column (first column on left side), see example.
• The "Info" column, (Second column), sometimes contains information on the error on the profile.
• In the profile, find and correct the error (if possible), always add a comment in the "Explain your changes" box, if you make any changes to the profile.
• If the profile is obviously unsourced, add the "Unsourced" template, with state parameters, if possible (or add some sources).
• Ask a question about anything you are unsure about.

Updating the Status of a Suggestion

The status button is located on the right hand side of an entry in the suggestion report.

Do I need to update the status after correcting a suggestion?

Yes: if you haven't corrected the suggestion but want to leave a comment for others to see.

Yes: if you want to mark a warning or a hint as "False suggestion" if you have determined the profile information entered is correct and the suggestion is incorrect, a "false suggestion". This option should not be used for errors, which should always be corrected.

Yes: if you correct a suggestion and you are participating in a "Challenge", (so your point is counted). A properly corrected suggestion will not appear on the list the following week.

See Suggestion Status Page for more on updating the status of a suggestion.

Ask a question about anything you are unsure about.
