Question

How do I add a person to the list of United Empire Loyalists?   Webber-395 clearly meets the definition but he's not in the list.  He's also part of the Palatine migration to South Carolina but isn't mentioned there either.

 

Edit: I just checked the UEL website and he is listed under his anglicized name, John George Webber: http://www.uelac.org/Loyalist-Info/detail.php?letter=w&line=156

I think you just add the category:

[[Category:United Empire Loyalists]]

...and it looks like there's a sticker. Add the text below, filling out status and date appropriately. You can look at other profiles in the category to help figure it out.

 {{UEL | status = Proven | date = 03 October 1833}}

Just make sure the spelling on the categories and stickers is correct. You wrote 'Loyalist' not 'Loyalists' before, so it didn't categorize correctly.

Thanks.  I figured out how to add the category on the profile, and the tag to my wife's page, but the individual isn't on the master list.  That's really my question.  Who takes care of that?

I'm not sure what you mean, 'the master list'? Once you put the category on the page correctly, they'll automatically turn up when you look under [[Category:United Empire Loyalists]].

I discovered that the master list is updated automatically.  Thanks for your help Brad.  https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:United_Empire_Loyalists&from=W

:) No problem! Another thing that might be good, is to add the link to the UEL record to the profile: Like:

According to the United Empire Loyalist database, "John George Webber" is a proven Loyalist, with descendents (etc)<ref>United Empire Loyalist database [http://www.uelac.org/Loyalist-Info/detail.php?letter=w&line=156 Profile of John George Webber.] Accessed 2018.</ref>

The <ref></ref> formatting just makes a reference in the Sources list.

Note that the UELAC has completely updated their “Loyalist List” list and the old URL links on WikiTree are likely now wrong and need updating.
