Bio Check App Version 1.7.4

Question

Version 1.7.4 of the Bio Check App is available.

Changes in this release:

• Correct a problem so that when you check your Watchlist and Report only profiles not managed by you, the report will not include profiles that you manage that have source or style issues
• Correct a problem so that the .csv extension is included on downloaded exports
• Check for correct placement of Easily Confused and Succession Navigation Box 
• Report use of deprecated Succession Boxes
• Improvements to source checking
• Reports sources that are a combination of individual sources that by themselves are not a valid source (e.g., "family search, census records")

This means that you might see some more style issues for the Navigation Box placement.

You may also see profiles that were previously considered to be sourced that are now reported as possibly unsourced.

Happy holidays.

Answer 4

Thanks Kay,

One question when I ran this yesterday, the results included many profiles where Global Cemeteries was above the biography. I fixed some of them intending to continue today.

But today I only get the few profiles I have that don't have reliable sources.

I think I entered the same search information today as I did yesterday

That's odd. Can you send me the search and I'll try it. (Or reference a profile that I can check). Thanks

This is the link for the search

https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/sands1865/biocheck/?action=checkProfile&profileId=Ross-19791&checkStart=auto

This is one of the profiles on which I corrected the placement of Global Cemeteries yesterday

All of my contributions for yesterday were correcting placement of Global Cemeteries and probably all of the other Global Cemeteries issues were for people buried at Alton Cemetery.

I don't know which other profiles needed the same correction because they don't show up today.

It seemed to me when I looked at them yesterday that the profiles that needed the sticker in the proper place would all have been edited about a year ago.

But I could be wrong!

The Bio Check search you did was for your ancestors. Instead you want your Watchlist. (or WikiTree+ search for manager=Ross-19791 but increase to get 2500 profiles). There are about 3 dozen you had not finished. (Hint: you can download the CSV and save to a spreadsheet to mark them as you work them.)
