National Parks week starts April 20, so we're looking at founders, namesakes, and promoters of national parks around the world in the Connection Finder next week.
Here are some of the folks we're considering:
- Paul Kruger, Kruger National Park, South Africa
- Charles Denton Young, worked toward the establishment of national parks in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA
- President Teddy Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota, USA
- Harriet Tubman, Harriet Tubman National Historic Park, New York, USA
Who else should we feature? We have room for 12 individuals. We can't feature everyone who is nominated, but if we don't feature a profile you work on, we may use it sometime in the future. And, of course, all contributions help improve our shared tree.
Our choice of features will depend partly on the notable person's CC7, i.e. their connection count within seven degrees. The more connections they have, the more likely it is for all WikiTree members to find a close and interesting connection to them. So, if you nominate someone, please help grow their CC7.
Suggestions are more likely to be considered if you provide a link to the person on WikiTree, some information about who they were or why you're nominating them, and if their profile is in good condition with a connection, image, and well-written and well-sourced biography.
We'll make a final decision on which ones to feature early next week.
Please reply here with what you're working on so that we don't duplicate our efforts. Thank you!
Take note that this is not the place to discuss why you think we shouldn't feature someone if those reasons are due to politics, actions, or opinions of those being suggested. Mentioning things like their not being connected, their biography still needing work, erroneous information, etc. are all suitable for discussion here and an opportunity to correct those situations.
