Will you share a Sourcing Selfie?

Question

Hi WikiTreers!

We thought it'd be fun to share selfies of ourselves sourcing over the weekend!

Will you share one of you? If so, post it here as answer!

You can also share it on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram. Just  be sure to use #wikitree so we can find it.

Participants will be eligible to win a Source-a-Thon t-shirt. We'll do a random drawing in the 2pm (ET) Hangouts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Every time you share a selfie, you can be entered to win.  So if you share one selfie in G2G and on Facebook, you'll be entered twice.

Make sense?

We look forward to seeing all of you!

Comments

Given that we can't post photos directly to g2g, how should folks do this? Post to a freespace page? Our own profile?

---

Yes, if you have an image uploaded to your profile (or free-space page) then you can right click on the image, copy it, and then paste it here with ctrl+V.  Or,  for example, if you've uploaded it to Facebook, you can do the same, copy and paste it here.  After you paste it (before you hit "add answer") you can click  on the image to be able to adjust the sizing if you need to.  Thanks!

---

I love uploading pics HERE http://tinypic.com/ at I believe 640x480 bulletin board link then insert the URL it gives you as your photo link. Quick, easy, quirky, and you don't have to make a special space page to hold them.

(btw Eowyn, can you add a couple more tags like sources, challenges, or announcements? Otherwise I'll never find this later. LOL)

---

Does preparing to source count? So like would getting one today while working on preperations for the SAT work or just after it starts?

---

Just added mine to my profile.

---

From Tinypic which code do I use to put the pic here? If I need to put every pic on my profile, I won't be doing any sourcing LOL!

I've posted to FB, Twitter and Google+ but I can't seem to get it here.

---

Here's yet another way to do it: upload to this Sourcing Selfies free-space profile page then right-click on the uploaded image to copy the image address. Finally, click the image icon on editing toolbar here and paste in the URL.

---

I have never before been unable to upload an image. Tonight nothing happens when I click on Browse. I tried at Sourcing Selfies, and on my own profile.

---

For some reason, I envisioned Chris's work area looking more like this:

---

Way cool!  :)

---

That looks like an intense computer that you would do some movie like hacking with.. haha

---

Wow, look at those computers Edison Williams.  Amazing.

---

That looks like a station of a Google employee. Ooops! Forgot a signed a NDA!  

---

Sourcing so much you forgot to shave, Chris? 

---

I copied image from my other location and then hit control and v at the same time in the answer box and it loaded it.

Answer 1

Plus if you post to social media don't forget to tag WikiTree as well as hashtags: #wikitree #wikitreelove #sourceathon2018

Comments

My favorite thing is that the #wikitree tag is also a tag for some Korean band it seems...

Answer 2

 

It worked.  This is me at my folks Barbeque at their home that they live in and taken in August 2018.  EDIT:  I resized the photo and hopefully people can see it now.  thanks.

Comments

It might just be me but I can not get it to open.

---

Ditto - it does not open on my computer either

---

Me three.

---

I have resized it smaller now and hopefully you can see it now.  McPhee-743.  Sheryl McPhee

---

Got it!

---

I can see the picture.

---

Ditto - looks nice

---

I'd rather it was a little BIGGER!

---

Hi Lucy, does it matter if the photo is larger?  Just curious, thanks.

---

Sheryl I have nothing to do with this challenge,  I was just commenting that I can't see the smaller pictures that well. I wouldn't think it would matter though.

---

I made it just a little bit bigger for you, Sheryl! Lovely picture! :-)

---

thanks so much Julie.

Couldn't get the photo to attach right, the link is only to facebook, I finally posted my photo on here...yea...

---

For everyone having trouble sharing a selfie or images in G2G, here's an explanation how you can add /share pictures or images in G2G  

 (this isn't me of course lol, still looking for a picture :P

---

You look stunning, Bea ... and very mysterious. hahahah!

---

Hahahaha  still working on it and sourcing but got stuck in such a complicated puzzle in Groningen ...aargh ...so slowing down things, but well quality over quantity or something is the motto eeh 

Answer 4

I finally got it

Comments

Great - yes it is visible now!

---

Great pic, Barbara!

---

thanks Julie so is yours

---

Nice selfie - thanks for posting!

Answer 5

Somebody didn’t want Mommy to prep but instead love her. You can see my hand (kinda) still trying to work. I can't make it any bigger or else it wont fit.

Comments

I made it a smidge bigger for you, Amanda. :-)

---

Thank you. It is big when you see it on my Twitter and when I uploaded it as a image of me.  But as soon as I tried to add it here you could only see part of the computer screen.

---

Definitely need a cat team next time. 

Feline Formatters? For the Clean-a-Thon?

---

Oh, YES!  I'm good at cleaning up kitty messes!

---

I think you would even get tired of having to clean up all the hair balls she leaves around. I still love her though and her older sister, by a few minutes. I was really lucky here that it was just my hand held hostage. She’s gone and laid partly on the keyboard to fully before and has twice somehow made the display screen flip sideways.

---

Eowyn, here's one for you cat team.  My cat's name was Laptop and the only way I could get any work done was to give him a laptop of his own … of course he absolutely had to have his own mouse, too.

---

Ha! That's fantastic.  I love it.

Answer 6

My picture is too big. Sorry. I do not know how to size.

Comments

Hi, Cheryl!

Your picture is privacy protected, which is why it won't show up here. If you click through to your picture, you should be able to copy it and paste it here.

OR ... you can change the privacy one it. :-)

---

Lovely photo! Thank you for sharing it!

---

Thank you Eowyn Langholf!

---

Julie, I did copy and paste. I am not sure why you cannot see it!  Sorry.

---

I am so sorry everyone. We had unexpected company fly in from North Carolina and Kansas. My brother-in-law was given 3-6 months to live, and everyone decided to gather at our house.  I had to cancel therapy today to play hostess.  But I am working now.

Please forgive me for not starting earlier!

---

No apologies necessary, Cheryl! We all do what we can, and family definitely takes precedence. I'm so sorry about your brother-in-law.

---

thank you so much for your kindness. We were very surprised AND glad that his two brothers could fly in to see him while he was still good.

Thanks again and God Bless you!

Enoch at work, this is my other passion besides wikkitree

Comments

Hi, Enoch ... I think your picture must be privacy protected, which is preventing it from showing up. If you click on it, you might be able to copy & paste it here. Otherwise, you'll need to change the privacy setting on it.

---

Enoch at work, this is my other passion besides wikkitree

Hi, Thomas!

Your picture is privacy protected, so it's not showing up here. If you click on it from your profile, you might be able to copy and paste it here, or you can change the privacy setting.

Does it show now?

It does!!

Comments

Way to go, Amanda! You are one dedicated Captain!!

---

That's some serious team spirit right there!

---

I love my Tornadoes teams be it Tidying or Team. I’m guessing I have you to thank for that Eowyn since we were made for the first CAT and then decided we wanted to come back as a team for that years SAT because we had so much fun together. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be on these past 2 years.
