Challenge of the week: Improve star profiles

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

We developed a way to identify the most-visited profiles on WikiTree. These profiles have an outsized influence on how our tree is perceived by non-members and how well all our ancestor profiles rank in Google search results. Improving them helps all WikiTree profiles. (For more explanation, see this post.) 

Aleš has prepared a report of likely suggestions in these "star profiles." Click here for the list.

However, this isn't all about the errors, warnings, and hints on the list. When editing one of these profiles, please make any and all improvements you can. This challenge is about making these good profiles that our community can be proud of. They are the face of our website.

If you can help, please post an answer below. Or post if you have any questions about how to participate.

Thanks for helping!

The link to the list of profiles (Click here for the list.) appears to be doubled, and throws a page not found error.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DD_Challenge_5_Star_Profiles_XXIhttps://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DD_Challenge_5_Star_Profiles_XXIV

Which url should it be?

Melanie.

Use the 2nd one that ends in XXIV.

Pat, I know.  But the post itself was confusing for those who don't know.  

Aleš has since edited the post to correct the issue.  

Answer 1

Sign me up. I can do a few of these.

Thanks!

Answer 2

I tried five profiles and none of them were editable (yellow lock). Isn't there a way to list only profiles that are open?

Francesca,

You can run a WikiTree + report to find all the Five-Star profiles on you watchlist.

You want locate the TEXT: box and add

 5stars Murphy-28404

Then push the blue box marked Get profiles.

Thank you, Pat. I followed your directions but got 0 results. I thought the list of suggestions was the one in the link above.

Francesca, look for those under the headings 1700-1799 1800-1899 1900-1999 Open

Most of those should be editable.

Thanks Melanie

Answer 3

I checked out the report on WikiTree+ and found I had 68 Five-Star Profiles on my watch list and have already done about 10.
