You have not provided any information or sources for this profile. If you are not pre-1700 qualified this info is necessary for someone to do the editing. In any event the info is needed for us to decide.

I want to add info from my Gedcom import, including death date. I am pre-1700 qualified (according to my profile).  Who is us? What is your specific interest in this profile?  It would make more sense if this info was automatically addressed during import instead of me having to ask every time and retype everything.
As I said ‘ if you are not pre-1700 qualified’. You are so you don’t have to ask, unless you are wanting some input or assistance.

My interest in the profile is the same as for any profile, wanting the best.
The save button does not work when I try to edit it. Thanks.
Did a red banner show up at the top of the page?

Did a yellow block appear with message on it?
In any case, a source must be presented to add information.
No Flags. Why aren't sources included with Gedcom import? I will have to go through and add sources one at a time for each person?

What I'm trying to say is this: a death place and death date should not be added to the profile above without providing a reliable source (see Help:Pre-1700 profiles) for this info. Especially as this profile is clean and well-sourced. And yes, if your Gedcom import does not contain sources, you are expected to add the source manually.
