Hi Paul,

I don't know about red or black dots - but I do like Sarah Dorkings profile. Plenty of detail with a commentry so that I can hear you thinking out loud regarding the info on there, and it's authenticity .

Hello Jillaine I have just change it Paul if you wanted to  take the red font off the Convicts after the Third fleet link all the bullets will be black

Note that the <font> tag is not recommended on WikiTree. And the use of <font color="red"> and then <font color="black"> is broken HTML (two opening tags and no closing tags) and can cause unexpected results (and is not viewed favourably by Google).

Its a very simple matter to add </font> to end the tag. I took the liberty to edit and end the font tag instead of talking about it

---

I actually think it's important to talk about these things, since broken HTML tags continue to be used on many profiles.

---

Since the Profile was opened to  find out it was a <font color= "red"> and a <font color="black";> tag i cant understand why <font color= "black";> wasnt replace with </font> unless it was to make an issue

---

I'm not making an issue; I'm observing an existing issue. Those <font color="red"> <font color="black"> tags are all over the place. Fixing one will not solve the issue, so I point it out on G2G in hopes of everyone who uses HTML learning about this.

---

If i catch a profile with faults i fix them including Notables with no sources, unproven linage and multiple entries connected to profiles and i do it quietly

Learning about the font color and it's recommended non use was educational for me.  Thanks, I appreciate learning about the fine points and inner workings.
