Hello WikiTreers!
This is the proposed list for Example Profiles for the month of March. 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 March line up:
March 4th: John Candy, Canadian actor who died on this day in 1994
March 11th: Douglas Adams, author of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, born on this day
March 18th: Henry Wells, who co-founded American Express on this day in history
March 25th: Alice Paul, suffragette for Women's History Month
