Hello!

Using FamilySearch, Ancestry, or Geni profiles as sources is not acceptable for Pre-1700 profiles. The sources within the profiles are what should be used. Also, your link to the Ancestry Library just goes to a sign in page. More info for those sources need to be available to those profiles. Here is the link to the Scotland Project's sourcing guidelines. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Scotland_-_Reliable_Sources

If you have questions, please ask.

Thanks!

Hi Tim,

You added Joseph Angier Sr (1679-1718) as a son of Edmund Angier and his wife Ann Batt today. Do you have a reliable source for that information, such a a vital record or similar? Thank you

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your contributions to our tree.

I see that tonight you have been adding some pre-1700 profiles. Unfortunately, the links that you are using as sources are just going to a sign in page for Ancestry.library. It would be much more helpful if you would add an explanation of what these sources are - the name of the collection you are accessing and some detail about the source.

You can find some examples of what I mean here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources

Thanks!

Dave

Hi, Tim!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Thank you Laura, I have have learned many things especially about sourcing since I joined wikitree in April, 2021. Sourcing correctly is hard work and has to be done well. I knew there might be a problem with sourcing when I joined in April, but I am getting much more in return from wikitree through the Find, Connect app than what I am contributing with. I am having problems adding pictures (photos) to the biography pages, and I am worried that might lose my free at-home ancestrylibrary.com on 25 Dec 2021. I am new to accurately recording my family pedigree and I am happy that I have connected three branches of my family to the wikitree.com base: Potter, Hawkins, and Barton but I don't know if it possible to connect the Whittington branch. In the meantime, I am busy correcting the sources the people I have added. My work does look like a joke, but I am determined to have good sources posted, and to leave "My Secret History ..." out, unless I include quotations from it.

Thank you for your kind correction. I am still learning, but at least I know a few questions to ask.
