Validation primary photo templates for profiles without photographs

+9 votes

I would like to suggest a general WikiTree-templated photo in lieu of the profile (head) now to be seen, for profiles where the profile has been validated and / or protected but where only a transcription is available or even not that, I have / feel a need for something that will in the absence of say a photograph of a baptismal record, state that the profile has validation (and inherently the LNAB has been - subject to future agreed changes - been protected). Any ideas?

Hi Philip! I'm not sure I understand quite what you're asking, but ... you're looking for an image that can be used as a profile's primary photo that indicates the LNAB was valid & protected? Sounds like a good idea, although I must admit I favor the profile (head) or a picture of a person for a profile's primary photo. I just saw a discussion about a Questionable template, and it sounds like maybe three images would be useful - what you're asking to have for a valid/PPP profile could be "Proven" & similar images for "Disproven" & "Disputed" might also be useful.  Cheers, Liz
Hi Liz, yes indeed - something like the 'questionable' status. Therefore 6 types - male, female, male-disputed / questionable, female-disputed / questionable, male validated or as near validated as can be (but alas no photo of baptismal record or transcription) and female validated or as near validated as can be (but alas no photo of baptismal record or transcription). There is a name for this empty head (Cameo - in marketing terms I think it is called 'persona') - I agree - I would not want it to dissappear only further developed ....
