Bio Check Results confusion

Question

Usually I don't have any problems with the complaints listed in the Bio Check Results on the right when I'm in edit mode but I can't see anything wrong with this one. Please identify what is wrong with it.

• Bio Check found sources that are not reliable or clearly identified:   
•    [https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/memories/2DTL-BB5 William Warman of Lyme and His Daughter Abigail (Warman) (Davis) (Mack) (Kelsey) Lay] by Robert L. Ward, M.S. Original source: American Genealogist Vol. 48 (1972), Pgs 13-18, database online American Ancestors. New England Historic Genealogical Society, (NEHGS) 2009-.

Bio check may be confused between the "memories" link of the URL and the text that is contained in the memory.  Might be better to simply cite:

Robert L Ward, M.S., "William Warman of Lyme and His Daughter Abigail (Warman) (Davis) (Mack) (Kelsey) Lay]," in American Genealogist, Vol. 48 (1972), Pgs 13-18, database online American Ancestors. New England Historic Genealogical Society, (NEHGS) 2009-.

The word "memories" is only there because it is part of the URL and to follow your suggestion would take away the viewers opportunity to see with their own eyes, unless they actually have a paid subscription to American Ancestors. I'd rather leave the "error" and ignore it. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

Then just mark it as false so it stops coming up for you.

Sidebar: I just went and looked at the link. Looks like someone made a PDF of a copyrighted work then uploaded it to FamilySearch.

Answer 1

BioCheck sees "familysearch.org/tree" and says that an online tree is not a valid source for a pre-1700 profile.

As Jillaine suggested, just take out the memories and leave the full citation.

I removed that link and added See familysearch.org person 9Z89-LZM, memories section for complete text. Thank you  Kay and Jillaine.
