WikiTree profile: D. Younghusband
in Genealogy Help by Quentin Younghusband G2G Rookie (280 points)
Good answers below ... but let me be a bit more specific.  When they say to contact the manager to be added to the Trusted List, don't just send him a note ... go to D. Younghusband's profile and over on the right is a 'Collaboration' section and the first link there is a Request to join the Trusted list ... click on that and there should be a note box where you can explain your desires ... good luck!

Contact the manager direct and explain your interest. Then he can put you on the trusted list and you can add info.

But I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that this was created in 2009, but has apparently been edited today.

Don't want you to be puzzled.This is why I stopped the last time.
I think when he added the link, the question appears on the profile. That makes the profile edited.
No, the profile is not editable, the question shows up because WikiTree and G2G are connected like that.
Yes Maureen, that does appear to be the only explanation.

While is sounds daunting and tedious to starting entering your family one at a time, it might actually be the most efficient, or at the very least, the most accurate method.

WikiTree does support uploading Gedcoms, which can allow you to quickly* upload many profiles at once. But it creates misc cruft that needs to be cleaned up later (so if I'm going back to revisit all my imported profiles, I might as well have imported them one at a time in the first place)

*quickly -- is a relative term. The entire process took weeks for me and was stalled out at least once.

Also, WikiTree is a single world tree, so many of your ancestors might already be here. Any duplicates will eventually be merged. (part of the long tedious gedcom import process is checking for and skipping possible duplicates)

Ah, I've misunderstood the question... I see now the profile you want to edit is not open for editing.

Martin's answer is correct... you'll have to collaborate with the profile manager
