Thank you for your work on Maleska-1. I am not positive abut the spelling for her maiden name, but not sure it is Penna either:

I've noted your additions of "WikiData" to pre-1700 profiles. Please see Help: Wikidata which tells us: "Wikidata itself is not the original source for any information. Therefore, it should not be cited as a source on WikiTree profiles." There is also a section about usage on pre-1700 and Project Managed Profiles. Please read these, and if you have any questions please post a query on G2G.
Would you prefer for me to add the wikidata links under a "See Also" heading?
"Linking WikiTree and Wikidata
Simply linking WikiTree profiles with corresponding Wikidata pages has powerful benefits. It enables WikiTree+ to:
improve its suggestions, share correct data on WikiTree with Wikidata, and bring WikiTree to a wider audience.
Creating the link is easy."
Bobbie Hall, you may wish to reread the section about usage on pre-1700 and Project Managed Profiles. Good luck!
"Wikidata only includes information on people who are historically-significant or otherwise notable. Therefore, many of the corresponding WikiTree profiles are managed by projects and should only be edited using sources that project members have identified as reliable." And: "Consult with the project in advance before using any information from Wikidata if you can't determine its original source or if you're uncertain whether the original source is reliable." I think you'll find that no project lists "Wikidata" as a reliable source.
Wikidata points you TO sources, but is not itself a source. It's use is much the same as a FamilySearch template (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Links_to_FamilySearch#Usage_in_a_Source_Citation) which should not, by itself, be used as a souce but is included within a citation that points to a specific record. Ideally, one looks at the Wikidata file and continues to the possible sources that it is based on, and if those sources are considered reliable, one cites that, not WikiData.
If this is still unclear to you, I suggest that you ask the wider community via a G2G post tagged with "sources" and "Pre-1700." Perhaps others will give you information you'll understand better than I've tried to do here.
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.
Sheryl ~ WikiTree Pre-1700 Greeter
I got your post on my profile - thank you!
Let me know if you need anything.
Take care ~ Sheryl
We are so pleased you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
