Old Lists for Holocaust Project

Date: [unknown] [unknown]
Location: [unknown]

This page, created in 2023, is to hold pre-2020 info for the Holocaust Project so it doesn't get lost; it may be useful for reference. Also it has images to file. (Added April 2024)

The first section was originally on the primary project page.Weatherall-96 16:26, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

• Go through the Unsourced Profiles, Germany, Unsourced Profiles, Netherlands Unsourced Profiles, and Needs GEDCOM Cleanup categories, seeking those with death dates between 1938 and 1945 and try to identify those that belong in the project.

    If a profile that belongs in the project is open then edit it to:

1. add the category [[Category:Holocaust Profile Maintenance]] at the top.

2. if known, add one or more of the categories:

• [[Category:Holocaust Victims at name of ghetto or camp]]
• [[Category:Holocaust Victims - Other]] (for persons who died at a location other than in a ghetto or camp)
• [[Category:Holocaust Victims at Unknown Location]] (for persons who are known to have died, but it is not known where)
• [[Category:Holocaust Survivors]]
• [[Category:Holocaust Fate Unknown]]
• [[Category:Holocaust Heroes]]

3. If the profile is to be managed or co-managed by the Holocaust Project then:

a. add the project box template {{Holocaust}} on the next line.

b. if you are manager then use the privacy tab to add wikitreeholocaust (at) googlegroups.com as manager or if you are not the manager then write to wikitreeholocaust (at) googlegroups.com to let them know they need to become manager

4. If the profile does not require project management then add the sticker template {{Holocaust Sticker}} on the next line.

    If a profile that belongs in the project is not open then request addition to the trusted list so that you can add the category and template or sticker and add the profile's ID to the list in the top section of the Category:Holocaust Profile Maintenance page.

• Check locations named for birth, death, marriage, and in narrative of all project profiles and make corrections, as needed, to comply with WikiTree standards for place names. A volunteer for this task needs to know or be able to find out the correct way to name places in Germany, Poland, Russia, Czechoslavakia, Holland, and Belgium where Holocaust victims, survivors, and fate unknowns lived and/or were imprisoned. The place names currently in the project profiles may not be stated correctly and/or are not consistent (the main reason for the problem is that the sources do not state place names consistently).

Additionally:

• Check out the Task List below to find something to help us work on, and add yourself (or ask one of us to) to that task

Images to File

These are images I'm taking off the category pages, since we are no longer supposed to put images on category pages. I'm leaving them here til space pages are made for each camp/other location for these photos.
