Team-Specific Goals
- The Pre-1776 Managed Profiles Team for the US Southern Colonies project improves, maintains, corrects, validates and reliably sources the profiles of early American colonists who were born between the years of 1700-1776 and who resided in the southern colonies of Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia during the American colonial period.
- As a team, or individual effort, we work in collaboration with profile managers and other interested WikiTree members with the goal of producing accurate, well-written genealogies.
Team-Specific Tasks
- Team members ...
- Review and respond to requests for Project management (Spreadsheet Tab #1)
- Review and validate that profile meets WikiTree guidance for project management. (Spreadsheet Tab #3)
- Review and validate that profile meets WikiTree guidance for project protection.
- Research, collect and document facts along with supporting reliable sources
- Write clear, concise fact-based biographies
- Review facts for accuracy and corrects inconsistent or erroneous information
- Review and validates parent-child relationships
- Review and validates sources for reliability
- Review and ensures profiles meet WikiTree style and standards
- Clear profile suggestions (DBEs)
- Review and ensure text and images comply with WikiTree's copyright policy

1. You may notice that Liz is acting as interim Project Coordinator and Team Leader for both managed profiles teams; we are seeking a replacement in each role. Find out more about roles here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Southern_Colonies_Project_Roles and contact Liz if you're interested.
2. Whether or not you are interested in Project Coordinator or Team Leader, we are also seeking someone comfortable navigating Google Sheets-- where we track action needed related to requests for project management of profiles that fall within the scope of the project. If you love spreadsheets generally or Google sheets specifically (or are willing to learn), contact ME and I'll walk you through what we do there.
Thanks so much for supporting the work of the project.
I do need to discuss the high number of PPP and Project Managed that started recently for Jamestown Colony. (the Jamestown activity occurred from 1607 to the Last Muster, 1624/1625. The people were born in the latter part of 1500's in England

Do we have a list of the people who should be in the Jamestown Colony Project, whether PPP or not & whether project-managed or not? (I focus on Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestors, which is not a comprehensive list and also spills past the timeframe).
If we don't have such a list, I think we should, either on a space page (I can do a table of them for us) or as a Google Sheet (which I cannot do... I'm lucky if I can view a Google Sheet).
Cheers, Liz
edit - fixed the link to the Pre-1700 Team

But now am taking the PPP off. Maybe I should take the PPP off. (to me that is why they are managed)
I am using just a notepad with the thoughts of just emailing it..
Maybe I will make another space page for Jamestown?? thoughts?
Was there was something about permission to create a ?space page?
edited by Mary Richardson
I'm thinking maybe a page along the lines of the ones RJ set up for Jamestowne Socity Qualifying Ancestors & Magna Carta Gateways (but not so complex). See
I'll run it by the leaders & you before proceeding.
started a clean one, taking it from Jamestown Colony, Virginia,
(I can always merge it away if it doesn't work
Still working

Chances are these recent changes were a result of me switching existing PPP from the Virginia *project* (which should be covering post 1776 profiles but was co managing during US So. Colonies' hiatus) to US Southern Colonies project. Some of these profiles already had a Jamestown sticker. I don't believe I added the sticker to any profiles.
Mary, are you comfortable using google spreadsheets (very similar to Excel)? We are using such a doc to track new requests for profile mgt/protection as well as for reviewing/tracking profiles that have been protected in the past (including way back before current ppp criteria were established). We have a way to distinguish Jamestown from Virginia but that's not complete yet. Ie most are still just Virginia. I could use a volunteer comfortable with spreadsheets and knowledgeable about the Jamestown scope years to help convert the appropriate Virginia entries to Jamestown. Then we can easily generate a Jamestown list. Aleš may also have a way to generate a list from the wikitree side of things. Not sure. Does Jamestown have a project account?
I do think it would be great to gave a Jamestown team member on the pre-1700 managed profiles team.

I'll leave it to your team to decide if/how you want to do this. Some of you are also on my pre-1700 managed profiles team where I'm suggesting we divvy our list up (we have slightly fewer than you, but a smaller team).
Thank you!
However, only those who are profile managers can add another profile manager unless they are a Project Leader. So we can review profiles and make recommendations, however only a Leader can add or subtract PPP and only a Leader can add Southern Colonies as Profile Manager unless the person doing the reviewing is also a profile manager.
I reviewed the row 4 and row 8 lists. In Row 4 there are 7 Maryland profiles 1500-1699 and 5 Maryland profiles 1700-1799. In Row 8 there are 35 Maryland profiles 1500-1699 and 41 Maryland profiles 1700-1799. Of all these, I am profile manager on only one of the profiles, which of course I'll start on.
But as soon as it's clear that basically what most people can do is only "review and recommend", I'll put a note out to the Province of Maryland team.
Jack
Review and recommend is fine. Thanks.
Thanks.

I have a chart on Jamestown (as do not feel comfortable to posting a Google spreadsheet on the Jamestown Cololnly space page.. I am the one who put the stickers on. I know what you mean, jillaine, as I thought of the switch causing it. "The PPP profiles do need the management.
Surprise! :-)
The spreadsheet is linked to from the managed profiles teams page.
It's still somewhat developmental because we have been using it both to track transitions (from the past) and will be using it to track things moving forward; happy to walk you and anyone else through it. Saturday mornings (east coast US) are a good time for me for "live" conversations.
Is there anyone here who is comfortable with google spreadsheets? We've got another tab on the same spreadsheet of pre-existing PPP profiles related to US SC that need review. I'd love some help.
