Introduction

(Note: This page is a sub-page of the Unconnected Notables page, which, in turn, is a sub-page of the Connectors Chat page and the Notables Project. For more details about what's going on here, please read the Sports Notables Project and Connectors Chat pages. Also, please post any messages about what's happening on this page on the Connectors Chat page.)

This table lists notable athletes who have profiles on WikiTree that are not yet connected to the main tree.

  • The "Branch Size" number is the total number of profiles in the branch that contains that athlete's profile. (If the branch size is 1, it means that that athlete has not been linked to any parent, spouse, or child's profile.)
  • The "Name" is the full name for that athlete, or the name by which they are commonly known.
  • The "Last Name At Birth" is normally that athlete's last name at birth. (If that notable is from a culture which does not use last names, then the Last Name At Birth will be whatever is used in that person's WikiTree ID.)
  • The "Country" cell includes any country where somebody from that branch was born. (Note that many branches spread over more than one country, so you may miss some branches that are at least partly in the country you're looking for if you sort the table by this column. To make sure that you find all of them, try searching within this page using Control-F if you're running Linux or Windows, or Command-F if you're running macOS.)
  • The "Notable As" cell is a short description of why that person is considered to be notable.
  • An asterisk (*) in the "Five Star" column means that that person's profile is considered "5 star". In other words, it has received at least 1,000 total views from at least 100 separate visitors in the past year. These profiles need special attention to improve them, and help WikiTree put our best foot forward. See Chris' announcement, "Will you help us improve the most-visited profiles?" for more details.
  • The "Badge Needed" column will say "1700" if that athlete was born before 1700, or "1500" if that athlete was born before 1500. If you want to work on pre-1700 profiles, you need to take the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. If you want to work on pre-1500 profiles, you need to request a Pre-1500 Certification.
  • If there is an asterisk (*) in the "1900" column, it means that person was alive in the year 1900. This is to mark profiles that are eligible for inclusion in La Belle Époque Project.

The default sort for the list is first by whether the person is a "5 star" notable, then by the number of profiles in that branch, then by coutry, then by surname, then by given name, but you can sort the list by any column (Branch Size, Name, Last Name At Birth, Country, Notable As, or Working On) by clicking on the sort symbol in the header for that column.

Free space profiles (like this one) work pretty much the same way that profiles for people do, so all the same syntax applies. So to show that you are working on a branch, edit this page, scroll down to the listing you want to work on, and replace the number at the end of the line with two opening square brackets ([), then your WikiTree ID, then a pipe (|), then your name, then two closing square brackets (]), like this: [[Example-123|Ferdinand Grubstake]].

Similarly, when you connect a branch (or discover one that's already connected), add Connected (or Found connected) and then the date. Put three single quotes (') before and after "connected" to put it into bold, like this: "'Connected'" February 29, 2020. One of the page pruners will then delete that entry in a couple of weeks, after everybody has had a chance to celebrate the new connection.

Feel free to add more unconnected notable athletes, but please do not add people whose profiles are not set to Open. Connecting is hard enough without having to deal with privacy restrictions.
