About the Team
The mission of the team is to add and improve profiles of the Ponca people primarily, but can also encompass other people and places associated with the tribe. Team members take primary responsibility for relevant profiles or family groups and work on merging duplicates, cleaning up profiles, adding sources, removing incorrect information and offer research assistance as needed.
Goals
- All duplicates merged into lowest number
- PPP added only for individuals who are historically significant or are the subject of many merges. (These are the only profiles that have project templates added as per current Native American Project policies)
- pertaining categories added, see suggestions below
- project stickers added below the ==Biography== line of profiles
- biography cleaned up and written, using the WikiTree Style Guide (can work with Profile Improvement Project for help)
- Attached family meets these goals, too
- Attached to the main WikiTree family tree (ask the GFR for help)
