Global Project Update - March 2024

Question

THE GLOBAL PROJECT

The recently revamped Global Project continues to grow by leaps and bounds. As of today, WikiTree has 53 actively managed country projects. We also have 19 other countries with pages set up, but which are still in need of coordinators. That's 72 countries altogether! (See the lists below).

If you haven't visited our Global Project country pages yet, I highly recommend you take a few moments to hop over and take a look. Each country's page (actually four pages per country) is full of information on the nation's history, ethnicities, languages, religions, naming practices, notables (past and present), resources for doing research and more. You do not have to be a project member to access this information.

If you would like to become a member of any of our country projects, simply drop us a note here or contact the country coordinators directly from the country pages. If you asked to join prior to March 1st, you should now have a Global Badge. If you don't, it means we dropped the ball. Please leave another message below, and we'll get your badge to you.

Answer 1

Thanks for the good work David.
I hit a few links that did not work, for example Jamaica.
Argentina and Brazil have pages that are being managed. Can these be added somewhere?

Comments

The links that don't work are undergoing temporary maintenance and will be back up shortly.

The Argentina and Brazil Projects are currently operating under the umbrella of the Latin America Project. We are currently working on options for integrating the Latin American nations into the Global Project but are moving slowly as we do not want to be disruptive to the work of any currently active teams.

Thanks David. I am happy that a good resolution is better than a fast resolution.

Answer 2

Hi David, I clicked on Liberia and the link is dead. I work on Liberia, and co-manage with Emma McBeath, so am curious what's going on with that project. Thanks

Comments

Hi Gina. The broken link was simply due to a typo. It's working now. Emma continues to oversee the Liberia Project and your status as a member hasn't changed. Thanks for catching the error.

Thanks David ~ One more question. Does this mean I am also a Global Project member? I do not have a badge.

I have awarded you a Global Badge
