GEDI Challenge (February 2023)

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

Will you join our GEDImprove (GEDI) Challenge this month?

For this challenge, improve profiles created from old GEDCOM imports, using a "whole profile approach" described on the GEDI Space Page. From the spreadsheet pick a GEDCOM, click on the GEDCOM to open the tab, select a profile, then update the spreadsheet to note that you are working on the profile. When you finish the profile, return to the spreadsheet and update the status for that profile.

There is no individual challenge scoring, but we are tracking our collaborative effort for the month, and showing our progress on individual GEDCOM. You will gain contributions, and we are collectively improving the tree.

Last month there were 463 profiles improved with 400 of those via GEDI.

If you want to work as teams, urge each other on, or just chat, join us on the gedi-challenge channel on Discord.

You are welcome to post here to let us know if you are participating, but it's not required.

Post here, or ask on Discord, if you have any questions!

News:

* There was a bug in BioCheck so that it did not always find all of the profiles with no birth or death date. Since that has been corrected, some of the counts may be strange.

Answer 5

Last week on Saturday Sourcing Sprint, I hit a nest of these GedCom profiles. I cleaned up 60 profiles, but they weren’t categorized as Gedcoms.

There are lots of Gedcom imported profiles.  GEDI Challenge can only work on the Gedcoms whose PM is no longer a member of Wikitree.  Of those, we post a small percentage of the Gedcoms available.  If you find a Gedcom that you want to work on, you can always post it and we can check to see if we can add it to the Spreadsheet.

Answer 6

I am interested. I will read all the details a little later. Right now, I am saving your post because I want to write an essay assignment on piano and I already found the https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/piano/ website through which I am gonna take help and will complete my essay assignments easily.
