December 2023 BioBuilders - People who were married in December

Question

This month’s Bio Builders  theme is People who were married in December. Have fun.

You are not limited to profiles on your Watchlist.

Thank you for your support.

Here's our checklist:

Data Section:

• birth date/place
• names of parents
• marriage date/place and spouse name
• names of children, if any
• death date/place

Biography Section:

• Written (full) sentences stating the facts above, adding inline sources to each fact.
• Is the profile '''Genealogically Defined?'''
• As a general rule biographies should be in your own words. Paraphrase and rewrite, don't copy/paste.
• Baptism, burial, military, and other life events with inline sources.
• Something to "humanize" the person, such as career or avocation with sources.
• List of children with at least one pertinent fact.
• Some list siblings. (I think this takes up real estate.)
• Explanatory remarks, if needed (e.g. disputed persons information, Research Notes, whatever needs extra explaining).
• Photos or pictures, background. Not a must, but nice (you need to own the copyright unless they are in the public domain).
• Categories.
• Connection to the Global Tree.
• All duplicates merged or initiated.
• Links to persons and events, perhaps from Wikipedia.
• Historical context as related to the person's life.
• Sources, Sources, Sources.

You can see some ideas on where to find some of this information on the Biography Builders space page.

Hi Bob! I'm wondering about the achievement stickers for these challenges. As of the end of November, I have 79 contributions for several 2023 BioBuilders challenges. I have not been "awarded" an achievement sticker for the 10 or 50 contribution levels. The help page says "Each time you hit a milestone in your participation you'll get a template for your profile to show others you've been making WikiTree a better place to share family history. The first template is placed when you've completed 10 profiles for Bio-Builder challenges." Am I supposed to take the initiative to grab the sticker from somewhere or wait on you or another project member to place it?

I’ve been remiss in keeping up with our stickers. I apologize. I’m going to update the scores, and stickers, this week.

Thank you, Bob!
