I’m having a change before saving issue

Question

I just adopted a profile, then I improved the info and when I tried to save - it says: do not put email address in biography text - I DIDN’T! There’s was a bunch of auto GED match junk already on there and I don’t know how I’m going to fully save.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi Toni, I've had a quick look and some of the sources listed have email addresses attached.

As you are the PM (profile manager), it is perfectly acceptable for you to simply delete the email addresses and then save.

"Instead of putting email addresses in sources, options include: removing or redacting them; for an institution, a URL link to a contact web page; and for an individual, a link to their WikiTree profile (perhaps just a dormant guest one) so they can receive private messages as described above"

Answer 2

Toni,

As Brad noted you can remove the email addresses.

It looks like this profile is an old GEDCOM import, and the sources are a bit difficult to follow. You can try the AGC browser extension which might go a long ways to cleaning this up. The extension is described here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_AGC
