Challenge of the Week: Will you help us clean up after the Connect-a-Thon?

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

Will you join our "Data Doctor" Challenge of the week?

Last week we had our January Connect-a-Thon where we added almost 99,000 profiles to WikiTree! 

This week we want to do a mini Clean-a-Thon and work on clearing out the 18,000 suggestions for those profiles. 

Here is the list of profiles that could use some TLC.

Will you join us?

If you're participating, please post here to let us know. It's nice to cheer each other on. Or post if you have any questions about how to participate.

Thanks for helping!

Answer 20

Yes, it's hard to know what's already been corrected.  I think almost all the duplicate profiles have either been merged or had merges proposed (I haven't looked at the Wikidata section, though.)

Is there a way to claim a section or otherwise indicate that someone's got it covered?

Thanks so much!
