Need help fixing the project box for him that was added ASAP

Private Samuel Grant was born about 1834 in Canada, the son of Julius John Grant and Sarah (Sipes Sypes) Grant. He had blue eyes, light hair, fair complexion, and was 5’, 8” tall. By 1850, the family is living in Norfolk, St. Lawrence, New York. Samuel married Matilda Almedia Ronger. They had one child, Edward Ronger Grant Sr. who was born in 1862 in Ragmundsville, New York and died on May 4, 1936 Everette Washington. 

Samuel was drafted as a Private during the Civil War in NY 14th Heavy Artillery Company A on July 1, 1863. 

Samuel Grant died of Typhoid Fever on June 23, 1864, in City Point Hospital, City Point (now Hopewell), Prince George, Virginia. He was listed on the Roll of Honor. Samuel was returned home and buried at Raymondville Cemetery in Raymondville, St. Lawrence County, New York.

Andrew!  Deep breath, cousin.  There are no genealogical emergencies.  I think help is in short supply this weekend due to the Thon.  What's wrong with the project box?
It needs editing as it shows up with the brackets showing which I can’t seem to fix properly. Yup it’s a busy moment on wiki lol

I couldn't find a guide to adding a project box for Roll of Honor, but I found sticker examples.  I tried editing Samuel's profile to fix it.  You can reverse the change if that's not right.

Also, I noticed Samuel is not managed by the project, so I think it would be incorrect to add a project box.  Hope that helps.

Roll of Honor and other subprojects of Military and War do not have project boxes. They use the Military and War project box. The exceptions to this are the projects that existed prior to Military and War which are 1776, Civil War, and The Great War. And of course you are correct, the project must be PM to add the project box.  Thanks!!

I will fix it. First of all, you have too many stickers. You may want to move the name study to just a category. Sorry I couldn’t respond yesterday. I was tied up with the connect-a-thon.

Thank you Paula : ) I agree too many stickers can just use category for name study
The guidelines indicate around two stickers but another option is you can use them throughout the bio. Three is fine.
All fixed thanks to Eric Daly!!! Thanks Eric! I had an ancestor who died at Drewry’s Bluff also.
Thank you Eric! Looks great!!!
