Thanks for rejecting the merge of James Shirley Jr. (abt.1803-1862) and James Shirley (1809-1887). I initiated the merge and then realized they were not the same person, but then I didn't know how to fix it! I'm finding the Shirley family to be a bit challenging.
For the past few months, I've noticed a number of profiles with Example: * Find A Grave: Memorial #89053479 shown at the bottom of Sources. I actually love the idea that FindaGrave be placed as an * contribution at the bottom (rather than the full sourcing provided at FindaGrave), since it is not considered a source but something to consider. I personally would like to see FindaGrave shown on all my managed profiles in the same manner (possibly the longer version of Find A Grave: Memorial #89053479, so that it is available to crosscheck.
My question to you and WikiTree managers ... When did "not adding the full citation" come to be the guideline for sourcing especially for FindaGrave Memorial contributions. Should I be changing hundreds of profiles? If guidelines have changed, I would rather know about it now as I do my status checks on older profiles.
I noticed that you're working on pre-1700-era profiles. This is just a reminder that certifying to work on these types of profiles means that you agree to add valid sources as outlined in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz. It is important to have at least one reliable source at the time the profile is created.
The England project does not consider FindAGrave to be a reliable source for pre-1700 profiles unless there is a photograph of the gravestone/monument. The England project has a great page on reliable sources: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Project_Reliable_Sources Also, are you familar with the WikiTree Sourcer app? It can simplify the process of searching various sites for sources, such as Family Search, Ancestry and Find My Past. Once you find a source, it will format a source citation that you can paste into the profile. More info is available at: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Sourcer
