Introduction

Members of the 1776 Project Managed Profiles Team handle some of the most contentious and notable profiles of participants in the American Revolutionary War.

In carrying out its activities, the project manages person profiles in order to:

• reduce conflicts and improve the accuracy of profiles of participants
• research and improve profiles of notable participants
• preserve profiles of participants that represent extensive work

The project accomplishes this in a variety of ways including:

• collaborating with other WikiTreers
• following the profile of a participant by adding the project to the Trusted List
• managing and additionally, in some cases, protecting the profile of a participant

If you wish to be considered for the team, please send a proud-of profile that you have worked on to the Project Coordinator. Here's what we are looking for in both your proud-of profile and your Contributions Feed:

• Thorough understanding of US Southern Colonies Project Editing Guidance [the 1776 Project does not currently have its own guidelines]
• Sufficient research to minimize the risk of duplicated and conflated profiles—researches places, not persons
• Clear, concise, originally written biographies
• All facts, including relationships, reliably sourced, with in-line citations of primary sources
• Clearly states level of confidence (estimate, perhaps, apparently, possibly, likely, probably, certainly) for uncertain information
• Proper use of Research Note Boxes
• Disputed or questionable information is addressed in Research Notes
• Frequently repeated alternative facts, and false or fake genealogy, is documented in Research Notes
