Would you be willing to help protect our shared tree with a shift once or twice a week? [closed]

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

One of the essential groups in our community is the WikiTree Rangers. These are the members who take responsibility for protecting our free, shared tree in one or more hour-long shifts per week.

We need a Ranger on duty 24-7.

Rangers serve and protect the community in a vital way simply by being on duty and staying alert. We watch for:

1. Vandals intentionally causing damage.

2. New members accidentally doing harm.

3. Unexpected technical problems.

Rangering is easy. You simply check some key activity feeds every 10 minutes or so. If you spot a "forest fire," you report it.

Joining requirements: 

• At least three months of experience on WikiTree, with a minimum of 1,000 contributions.

• Participation in at least one other project.

• Able to commit to a minimum of one hour-long shift per week.

• Do not currently have a Referral badge and have not had one within the last three months.

Are you interested? We'd love to have you. At the moment we especially need help on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we might be able to find a slot for you on another day if those don't fit your schedule.

Please answer this post and we'll get you started. Or ask here if you have questions.

Thank you, and we look forward to working with you!

I am flattered by the invitation to be a Wiki Ranger however I do not yet meet the requirements. Once I DO meet the Ranger requirements I would be happy to join the ranks of helping protect our great Genealogy site.

Answer 14

I'd like to help. Been on Wikitree for a year or better, and have over 18,000 contributions so far. I'm on the site pretty much all day, every day.
