Improve the department free-space pages ; like ; is there a map of the departement vs. The old province, which are the principal towns ; principal activities (industrial or agricultural, which type of cultures/cattle, etc.), things to see/do, notables etc. There is also the possibility of starting a « topic » if someone has a specific area of interest (maybe some people might want to work just about Normandy, or about Brittany, or would like to focus on a specific town )
Look for notables connected with the region (this includes people born there, or associated with the place for instance if they lived there, or represented the area in a political mandate) and see if these notables have profiles, if one should be created, or if it should be improved (see above) Look for migrants who came from the region and check their families (does their line need cleaning up, are parent profiles OK, siblings needed ) If someone is comfortable with categories, add the CategoryInfoBox to categories with no content (these are categories with profiles in them but no text on the category page) ; also create categories for locations that dont have them and would have profiles if they were there (dont create empty categories) Improve the department free-spa
Adding sources to unsourced profiles Cleaning up Gedcom junk and otherwise making sure profiles are up to standards Fixing « suggestions » (data doctoring) that still has to be done using the global France report, not sure if and when and how we can narrow that one down. I guess the project is not yet big enough to allow for smaller reports. Adding categories to the profiles (principally location categories, also occupations/professions especially when dealing with people who are not just farmers or day workers) no need to go overboard with cause of death and other silly stuff Investigate using the « Needs profiles created » thing (are you familiar with that) if sources permit creating more profiles for members of the same family Write biographies !!
