I am still confused on where to get suggestions. I have a few on my own suggestion site but need more. Are we working Wisconsin? If we record status update does that count? Where is everyone?

---

Richard,

I started here

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_Errors_By_USA_Div_3

There are links for each state we cover.

How do corrections get recorded?

---

Richard, once you make a correction or verify info on a profile, click the 'status' button on the far right of the suggestion. This will lead you to the page to report what you did , and get credit. I hope this is clear. :)

---

I have updates quite a few. Can anyone check and see if they are being recorded? Thanks. Richard Barton-7380

Hi Richard,

As long as you're updating the status after you make a correction they're being recorded. Here's a list of teams and their scores so far. Keep in mind that some teams are much larger than others and it depends on the difficulty of the errors fixed how much time it takes.

Here's a link that might help:

They update about once an hour is my understanding.

Best, Jean

Difficulty makes a big difference.

At the top of the report you can choose how you want to see the data.  "By Team" ( as the link above shows)  "By Team and user",  "By user". and many other views.  I personally like the "By Team and User" as my points are shown in that view.  The points are updated every 5 minutes.

---

Richard, so far you've made 49 changes.

---

Thank you. Helps a lot. Unfortunately we picked a busy weekend for this. But I wanted to help. First one I have done.

---

Richard, this is my first time also. I'm so glad you decided to join in. It sounds like you've done a great job making 49+ changes. I'm betting you've worked on some intermediate problems (as have I) and they take a lot more time. I worked on one yesterday for over an hour locating a death date.

But I figure this is time well spent because now the error is corrected and the sources and notes are there.

Yes I do easy and intermediate right now. The DNA ones are out of my league. I have used the suggestions list for some time. So that part is OK.

Answer 1

Thank YOU to everyone on Team Northwest Terriers for your good work this past weekend on Clean-a-thon. It doesn't matter how many fixes you made, they all matter. And sometimes it's the more difficult problems that most need attention because they never go away...unless someone takes the time to sort them out and correct them.

Go TNT!!

Answer 3

Hope our TNT team has had a good day - I've had several successes but some of these profiles take awhile to fix. That's okay, though. Quality work only needs to be done once.

Everyone give themselves a pat on the back - whether you corrected one record or 100 it all counts and it's all appreciated.
