Now I am getting Data Doctor suggestions, i.e. Error 933, saying a project box is required. The help sections seems to talk in circles as if it is only intended to help people who already understand it. I can't find a simple example of a Project Box to see how to create one. For example: Lonnie Mack was a Musician, popular guitarist, who happened to marry my cousin. I have included links to his Wikipedia and Wikidata. Now do I create the "Project Box" for him? How? What's it look like?
Also DeRobigne Mortimer Bennett, famous journalist.
That said, except on rare occasions, the Notables Project no longer manages profiles of deceased individuals. Our focus now is on managing the profiles of Living Notables. Thus, in Lonnie's case, the Notables Project should be removed as a co-manager, and the box should be returned to a sticker.

and what about the Catagories and/or sub catagories like "Musician", "Guitarist"?? and D.M. Bennett?
As for categories, this is a complex topic but not a critical one, so feel free to develop your skills slowly. There are literally 1000s of categories to choose from and they cover a wide range of topics, from occupations to locations, to religions, to awards, to cemeteries, and so on. The easiest way to get the hang of this is to click on the categories button at the top of the edit box. [Look for a string of buttons starting with B and ending with C. It's the box to the left of the C.] Click the button and you'll get a search box. Type in any key word (say: guitar, Dearborn, or even McIntosh) and it will give you a list of suggestions. Click on a suggestion and it will place it in the profile for you. That's it. Feel free to experiment. What categories you choose is up to you.

I dont have much of my fathers side added to the tree because I am reluctant to just add people willy-nilly and I thought having a notable person in my tree might help make it easier to add (merge) or connect to more of my family.
I've tried to get Petrella-51 connected to her son LuPone-19 but his profile is not open privacy. It's managed by Notables Project but have received no response. Can anyone assist?

Thanks!
I'll see what I can do with Eklund-228 to note on the profile that this is not the actress and remove the Notables template from the profile.
Thanks, Sandra Davidson, profile creator and manager at this time.
The date of Mary's death should be Sept. 16, not 19. Mary's father is not "unknown Cooper" (that was my father, not hers). Her father shown on Travers-380 is correct.
Ann (Cooper) Gordon (Cooper-14488).

FYI, a group of us are researching his claimed Native American ancestry.

Thank you. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Balluff-21
So could we please have the profile open if Jeppson-6 is her?
Aghassian-1 Marzbani-1 They are using a Category Iran (?????? ?????? ?????) that is being renamed. I need to know if the profiles are in English, Persian, or Farsi and put the proper Category on these profiles. Both Profiles are part of the Notables project. Would someone with access to these profiles please change the Category to "Category:Iran" if the Profiles are in English. If not English, let me know what language they are in. Are these Profiles of deceased or living persons? If deceased, they should be open.
