Im not interested in this project, not sure if anyone is aware but Richard Scott who married Katherine Marbury was Jailed for being a Quaker Convert as well as Christopher Holder who was one of the signers of the Decloration of Indépendance, He Had his Right Ear Cut Off in Prison.

August 2018 - source non-project managed profiles. What does this mean, please?
Yes, definitely a great idea!

I don't believe we should wait too long. The process of renaming categories is going to take time, and Bot can easily move the profiles once this is settled.

Suggestion for future challenge: Clean-up profiles found at Category:Quakers by replacing the vague Quakers Category with MM categories found in evidence and adding Quakers Sticker below the Biography header.

I just improved Eleanor Parke, Parke-54, correcting info and adding information. Is that enough for a sticker?
What happens if I do my MM categories now. Does that exempt me from Sept 2018 challenge?
I live in the hamlet of New Baltimore, Ny,, founded by Quakers and formerly home to 5 Quaker Meeting Houses. I have volunteered to record and put on line our many rural cemeteries but doubt if I could meet this month's challenge.
