I don't believe John warrants PPP status. There is no further record of him after his baptism. I've removed the New Netherlands Settler category/sticker,

Thanks for pointing out that the profile shouldn't be PPP, Gregory. I will fix that.

Please note, however, that removing the New Netherland project box (it was not a sticker, but rather was the box above the Biography heading that identifies the profile as part of the project) did not affect the PPP status. And because the profile was still PPP and had the project account as a profile manager, the edit would have generated multiple Data Doctors suggestions.

Next time you find a PPP profile that shouldn't be PPP, lease just post a profile message about it. That will generate an alert to the managing project so that a Leader can review the situation. Only Project Leaders can change PPP status.
