I sent you a private message the other day about working with you on some profiles. Could you please check your email and let me know if you received it. Cheers, Elizabeth :-)
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile. Victoria ~ WikiTree Pre-1700 Greeter
Welcome!
Thank you for signing the WikiTree Honor Code! We're happy to have you as a new Wiki Genealogist. Make sure to check out the Intro to WikiTree page to learn how to get involved: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:How_to_Use_WikiTree

I guess that you missed the message that I posted on William Woodbury Carter https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Carter-45566.
I see that you are using HTML markup which is not recommended. This is explained in the Style FAQ and further in HTML and Inline CSS and Recommended Tags. These also link to a couple of G2G discussions.
It is nice, however, to make certain things stand out. Thus we see various Project related items, such as Mayflower Passengers, and various Research Note Boxes, such as Estimated Date. Further, we have stickers such as Mayflower Descendants which is for living descendants of Mayflower passengers (e.g., active members).
What you are looking for, I believe, is the Descendant Template. This would be applicable, for example on Carter and also on others like Lurten-6 and Arey-547.
For others such as Thomas-42866 you can use Wiki Markup. There are shortcut buttons for some, like bold and italics on the edit toolbar.
Once you try these things, you may find that it actually is much quicker and easier to use the stickers and recommended markup.

Some profiles of mine have HTML banners, which I intend to replace over time; I initially was using the Descendant sticker but received conflicting statements regarding whether that sticker is allowed (people seem to be conflating it with the Living-only Mayflower sticker). For some time I thus used that HTML banner. I have been replacing them with Descendant stickers when I do see them, but I have no way to tell which profiles have the banner except by running into them by chance.

W. A. Hopkins
I ran into this by chance.
You can find them by using the Bio Check app (here https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/sands1865/biocheck/) with Help here. Start BioCheck. For How to find profiles, select Check Watchlist. Set the max numbers to 5000. For Profiles to report, pick Detailed report. In the "Search biography for" field enter <div. Click Check profiles. When this is done, click on the Search? heading on the results to sort for profiles that have the search phrase.
You can use other search fields, such as <b> or <i>
Since your Watchlist is so large, we would have to look at other approaches for beyond the first 5000 profiles. Would you like me to investigate?

I haven't run across this site before I don't think. It looks like the resources it links to are mostly ones I've already found and been using, however. The mailing list for queries may be of use, and the Kinfolk newsletter looks like it might be interesting; however, as the newsletter is not free, I'd probably only sign up for it as a last resort if I can't find sufficient information on FS, Ancestry, or at NEGHS.
Nonetheless, thank you again for the info.
If you need help with this, our G2G Forum is a great place to start. You can get there by clicking the link on the Help menu.
Thanks!

I've disconnected Isaac from the current father William Cole and added a short research note explaining why. If you can locate proof of his parentage, please advise the Mayflower Project, as we'd certainly be interested in that documentation. It's not currently recognized by the Mayflower Society as far as I can find. So lacking some solid evidence, we really can't maintain that relationship on WikiTree. Again, if you do locate proof, please advise me or Anne B.
I hope I can pay it forward.
I saw your name on wikitree and tried to figure out our family connection, but didn't recognize any names. My surname is Heald. Father grew up in Texas.

I noticed that you had created a WikiTree Profile page for Wells Hall. I would be interested in exchanging notes regarding Wells Hall. William McHenry Hall and his wife Almira Raner are my ancestors. They were listed in the 1850 Federal Census household of Wells Hall and Ann. Thank You Debbie Freeman
Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.
Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
