Scotland Project Mini Clean-A-Thon

Since Wikitree has not had a Clean-a-Thon for quite a while, we are planning on running some Mini Clean-A-Thons for a month to reduce the number of Suggestions in Profiles that have Scotland locations. Some recent Challenges have involved families from Scotland, so it has spiked an interest in Scotland profiles.

We have found several suggestions that anyone can correct, without knowing Scotland locations, so this is not limited to Scotland Project Members. Ales has an Info column on many suggestions with what the problem is and / or with what it should be changed to. Next month, we will have some different suggestions that are easy for everyone to help with.

We will update the Totals weekly to see how we are improving the suggestions.

• Following are some 'fairly easy' Suggestions with Scotland locations that would be great for everyone to work on during the Clean-a-Thon.
• Remember that when you work on Marriage Suggestions, you will frequently also see similar birth and / or death Suggestions that can be worked on at the same time

Thanks for helping to clean up the Wikitree Tree !!
