Hi Debi, I was wondering if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong. My grandfathers wiki Bailey-29400, says I need to add more sources. As you can see I have several sources added. Thank you for your help. Charlene
You aren't doing anything wrong. Getting rid of the Unsourced box at the top is a manual process once you have added source information. Edit the profile and look for lines like this in the biography {{ Unsourced }}
I'm thinking there might be two of them. Delete that code anywhere that you find it on your grandfather's profile, then scroll down and click the preview button below the edit box. Review the new biography to make sure it looks like you want it to. Once it does, click the Save Changes button.
The Profile Improvements Project has a program to help you learn how to create biographies that honor your ancestors, including how to add links to the sources you found at Ancestry. If you are interested, you can find out more about that on the Profile Improvements Project (PIP) Voyage page.
I'm a volunteer greeter, here to answer your questions about WikiTree.
Our New Member How-To pages can help you get started adding profiles or just learning your way around.
