Hello WikiTreers!
This is the proposed list for Example Profiles for the month of February. These are the profiles we'll feature in the Connection Finder each week, and on the home page and newsletter.
We invite you to weigh in with ideas, to step in and make improvements leading up to their feature date, suggest related profile possibilities, and add to our list of options for future features.
Some things we need to have for a profile to be featured:
- Notability.
- Connected to the Tree.
- A picture or likeness to use for a primary image.
If those things are in place, we can build a biography, though it's a bonus if that's already started or developed as well.
Places we look when planning the EPOW (Example Profile of the Week):
- Important dates in history (births, deaths, events).
- Holidays.
- Media events (history mini-series premieres, dramatizations of novels, biography debuts, movies, new books, etc.).
- Current events (deaths of important figures, memorial observances).
Here is the February line up:
February 5th: Johan Runeberg, National Poet of Finland, born on this date.
February 12th: Frederick Douglass, born in February 1818.
February 19th: Jack London; his book Call of the Wild has been made into another major motion picture.
February 26th: Emma Smith.
