Hi WikiTreers, join in the fun! Join the G2G Integrators Challenge for October 2023 [closed]

Question

Hi Integrators Challenge Participants!

It's time for this month's Integrators Challenge. Prior months' stats can be found here for all the previous G2G Integrators challenges.

Here's the Challenge Tracker Results Page that has up to the minute stats. (Give it a chance to be updated by Alex). The URL (if you need it) is: https://wikitree.sdms.si/Challenges/IntegratorsChallenge/User.htm

To participate:

'''Option One for Participating in the Integrators Challenge.'''

1. Answer here (NOT comment). You can use the Challenge Tracker (preferred) or list your contributions in the comments under your answer here. You only need to post once. 
2. If you opt to use the Tracker you are ready to go. (give it a few minutes to be updated for this month). 
3. If you opt to just post in this thread, list the G2G question you worked on and what you did here (answered the question, create a profile, source profile) in a comment on your answer. Number your contributions.
4. All Challenge activity should involve G2G questions from two months ago or more. If the question is unanswered try to answer it.

5. Add the URL/Webpage Address of the question used to create the profile(s) under your Answer here when a profile is created to answer a G2G question. 

Whatever question you choose, look at the information there and check to see if there is a profile on WikiTree yet. Yes? Move whatever information might be in the question to the profile, and put a link to the profile on the question in G2G so everyone is aware there is now a profile on WikiTree.

No profile? Create one (or a few if several people are mentioned in the question, comments, and answers), and do the same as above. 

These are some threads to get you started if you don't want to do some searching on your own. If you use one of these, comment on your post below with which you are working on so you aren't doubling up another's work. Everything should be sourced!

'''Option two for Participating in the Integrators Challenge.''' 

Click here to Create profiles using the Category: Needs Profiles Created. Selecting your Country and State.

1. Create the profile, checking to make sure the profile does not already exist.
2. Using the Tracker, click the Integrators Challenge box, click "New Profile from Needs Profiles Created (Adding URL of the profile Created between the two Parentheses) and click Add Action.
3. Add information to the bio and add sources to improve the profile and click the Integrators Challenge box and select Improve Profile from Needs Profiles Created (Add URL) and backspace out (Add URL) and add the URL of the profile improved.
4. REMOVE  the category line at the top of the bio when you are done creating all the profiles for the family members  ie: [[Category: xxxx Project Needs Profiles Created]]. You can also add the ie: (Category: xxxx Project Needs Profiles Created) to the newly created profile(s) until all the family members have been added and sourced then it needs to be removed.
5. Ask in the G2G Forum if any member is interested in adopting the profile.
6. Try to connect the profile to a family/ancestor or tree already at WikiTree.
7. If you opt to use the Tracker you are ready to go. (give it a few minutes to be updated for this month). 
8. If not using the Tracker, Add the URL/Webpage Address of the profile(s) used to create and improve the new profile(s) under your Answer here when a profile is created.
9. All profiles created and improved need to be from the Category:Needs Profiles Created to count for the challenges. 

The Monthly Challenge runs from midnight the first day of your month and ends at 11:59 the last day of the month, your time.

Ask any questions you have here in the thread.

**Again if you are going to participate, (however you chose), Please tell us with an "ANSWER" below so we can count you in with our results!!

Answer 1

Pip I'd like to be included in this October challange. I already do this kind of work, certainly not at Carol's performance level, my health is iffy, I'm not fast like I used to be but the spirit is willing and I'm accurate in my work so hopefully you'll let me have a go at it.

Comments

For sure, Leigh Anne! Do what you can. It’ll be great.

---

Leigh Anne, it's the spirit of the challenge, not the number! One or 100, they all count and crontribute to our WikiTree. I just happen to be more than a little OCD! You take care!

---

Thank you, Leigh Anne, for joining us in the October challenge. You have been added to the participant's list for the October challenge.

---

Carol and David, you are both kind and this grizzled old heart has been warmed with your words.  --Leigh Anne

Edit: Folks, I'm having trouble locating the 'Tracker' to update. I selected from the category (see Pip's instructions above)  "xxx Project Needs Profiles Created; Quakers, U.S.A." I went ahead and based on my current selection I added sources to the profile then began creating sourced family members in order to connect him to the global family tree. 

Samuel Wing Snow (1805-1870)

If I'm not approaching this correctly please advise. Thanks.

I have begun working on John Dennett, Jr. (1708-1797) of Kittery, York, Maine (Massachusetts Province)

---

Hi Leigh Ann,

I have added the four new profiles you created to the integrators spreadsheet. They did not appear on the Tracker. I surmise you missed the link to the challenge tracked that comes up at the top of the new profile once created.

Thank you for joining this month's challenge

All the best Janet

---

Janet, you are one of the kindest, nicest, thoughtful contributors on WikiTree. A heartfelt thank you for noticing Leigh Ann's additional profiles. I have no qualms about turning the award over to her if she has accumulated more Integrators than I. This is a self (not other) challenge for me to be honest (as well as sourcing). Have a great Halloween/Samhain! Hugs!

---

Hi Leigh Anne, thank you for joining the challenge it is appreciated. It is important to click the tracker at the top of a profile you have created or improved from G2G Questions or the Category Needs Profiles Created. When you click the tracker at the top of the profile it is important to click the correct radio button which is clearly labeled G2G Integrators. We have to depend on the tracker to tell us the winner for each month. I will be posting the new challenge for November later tonight and do hope you join us.

Answer 2

The winner of our September 2023 Integrators Challenge is...

Carol Baldwin with 90 profiles created or improved!

Congratulations, Carol, for a job well done! KUDO

Comments

@Janet, Thank you for your kind words. YOU are the super woman! Thank you for all that you are doing with The Mighty Oaks!

Answer 3

Hi Pip! Count me in for October. Integration is one of my favorite activities! I hope you are doing well and your healing is progressing! I saw the chat (small c) and it is just not the same without you! Hugs!

Comments

Doing well, Dr Carol. Glad you’re in for another Challenge!

---

Thank you, Carol, you have been added to the participants list for the October challenge.

Answer 4

Hi Pip,

I am in for October. Added the needs profile category to a number of profiles over the weekend

Comments

Thank you, Janet, for joining us for the October challenge. You have been added to the participants list.

---

I did the very same, Janet. Thanks for joining the Challenge again for October!

Answer 5

IMPORTANT!!!

Pip and David, please check the tracker for the October 2023 Integrator's Challenge. I have been adding profiles; however, the tracker only shows two names and my contributions are not being tracked properly!

I'm listed as Mighty Oaks and Ben Couch as Legacy Heirs!

I'm see tracking for the two of us over the Challenge this past weekend!

Comments

Carol, I have checked the tracker and calendar settings and found nothing wrong. I emailed Ales to have him check it and he said it is now fixed. Do not see that Ben Couch has volunteered by answering the post.
