I am increasingly frustrated by seeing so many people listing themselves as "Anonymous" on WikiTree profiles and forums. Personally I would rather anyone who cannot proudly identify themself, to refrain from creating profiles or commenting on any of my G2G feeds or profiles period. As an historian and genealologist, I take my research very seriously, and stand behind everything I post with full documentation and sources. I identify myself fully for anyone to contact me for future research and assurance that the profile was created with proof and a purpose. I think adding information or posting & creating WikiTree profiles, or commenting on them as "anonymous" is cowardly and very suspect, especially on profiles that are over 100 years old. If someone identifies themself as "Anonymous", I will not even consider their comments or information, and I don't think any serious historian would. If you can't own up to your research and stand behind it, please don't create it. Also WHY are people allowed to create generation after generation of "Unknown" profiles??? Profiles that have literally NO information, no name(s), dates, locations??? This is a waste of everyone's time and just clogs up Wikitree with hundreds of "unknown" profiles. People need to understand that they should ONLY create profiles for people they can clearly and accurately document. Name(s), date(s) & location(s) being the absolute LEAST they should know. Please allow others to come behind you and link up to your last known relatives, as they will have so much more information that you don't know about yet. If your last 5 generations are all listed with "unknown" profiles, what is the point??? Please WikiTree powers that be, stop this nonsense, eliminate "anonymous" postings and redundant generation after generation of "unknown" profiles! Thank you!! Sincerely, Yvette Bergeron
