Total Profiles

Either the project box or the project sticker or USBH Platinum
- Changed to using this 9 Jan 2022 because the total is more accurate than adding the other two numbers because of profiles that have both (but shouldn't)
USBH Platinum
US Black Heritage project box
- Managed by the project (should be identical to results for the project box - see suggestions 931, 933, 935 for profiles that need correction - see also cleanup search below)
- Last profile of 2021: Alger Alexander https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?Query=TemplateFull%3DUS_Black_Heritage&MaxProfiles=10000&pagesize=50&pageIdx=41
Connected with US Black Heritage project box
- Unconnected with US Black Heritage project box -- Category (profiles need to be added/removed manually so less accurate)
Use the exact wording template African-American_Sticker - using the exact wording means profiles with a sticker and African-American in a category are not included (such as project managed profiles with an African-American notables sticker)
- First profile of 2022: William Moore https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?Query=TemplateFull=African-American_Sticker&MaxProfiles=100000&pagesize=100&pageIdx=664 -- 66,406 made prior to this
Connected with US Black Heritage sticker
Cleanup search
- Both the project box and sticker (there should be only one (US Black Heritage Project WikiTree) as this is redundant and there should be no more than 5 stickers on a profile) -- cleanup done on 8 Nov 2022
- Has the project template but not managed by the project

Project Focus Profiles

With a goal toward connecting all USBH profiles, we have chosen three focus profiles. We will grow the cc7 for these three connected notables as large as we possibly can to enfold more families into their web of connection.

Notables

The notables sticker should be followed by |African-American Notables, which adds it to the category OR it should be directly in the category Category:African-American Notables (if the notables sticker has something else in it). This ideally will give a total of all notables. Ideally non-project managed profiles will have the sticker.

African-American Notables Category wikitree+ search -- This search result is updated once a week and is used for the chart below for consistency -- this is the total of the notables, and should be equal or greater than the total with the project box and the sticker -- cleanup done on 8-9 May 2021 -- Category African-American Notables - this result gives a current count but is not used for the results in the chart
Notables with project template/Managed by project
Notables with sticker/Not managed by project
- Managed by the project and living
- Has African-American Notables category and living
Cleanup searches
- Notables with project template but without category
- Notables with sticker but without category
- Orphan Notables with sticker -- the Project may want to become the profile manager
- Category with template or sticker (Stickers are always optional for profile managers so these aren't necessarily something to "correct")

It would be interesting to see how many have served in the USCT { { US Civil War template } }. Probably not a large number, but I've put in a couple myself.

If you use the category navigation tool, it tells you how many profiles are in a category. Currently, there are 309 profiles categorized under USCT.

That is a good idea and I can add this to the statistics -- but I am not positive what search you used. I did a search using the template + sticker but I have different results. I am not positive what the category is to search on
