All WikiTree members are encouraged to help make the anniversary and 5* most visited profiles shine. If you work on one of the 5* profiles, please add a comment or answer here so that we can update the 5* spreadsheet.
If you are interested in Friends (Quakers) from England, Wales, and America, your help would be appreciated. If the profile has co-managers, please collaborate with those managers when possible. There are bios to write, sources to find and/or update, profiles to be created if sources are found, categories to be added, general proofreading and spiffing to be done, etc.
20 Oct 1742 John Cadwallader - Wales & America - sources from merged profiles need to be merged; bio needs to be written
20 Oct 1758 Elizabeth (Gordan) Little - England - formatting, needs bio written
21 Oct 1747 Marah (Chapman)(Croasdale) Wildman - England & America - six children are mentioned, four of which survived her. Only three have profiles. Detailed sources are needed
21 Oct 1861 Harmon G Cook married Lucinda (Mills) Cook - America - Profiles needed for their children; sources on parents profiles
21 Oct 1660 James Nayler - England - Looks good (thanks, Michael C) - review
21 Oct 1732 Joseph Richardson married Mary Paxson - England & America - spell out locations, move the abstract of his will to appropriate location in timeline; both need added links to related profiles, added details and links for sources
22 Oct 1909 Job Haines Kirk - America - needs profiles for spouse and children
22 Oct 1780 Aaron Dodd married Rebecca Arnold - America - both need more details in sources; needs country added to death location; needs source for relationship to child

25 Oct 1729 Hannah Canby - America - Needs links to Ancestry records
25 Oct 1746 John Penn - America & England - all sources are secondary; are primary sources available? The See Also reference needs adjusting so the entire paragraph is not a link
5 Star Profiles:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Severance-3 - America - needs Quaker records and biography
General suggestions for improvements:
Check that facts are sourced. Try to find sources for ones that aren't.
If there aren't dates/locations, see if you can find them and add with sources. If you can't find them, it would be helpful to add notes about where you searched so that others don't have to repeat your efforts.
Check if there are any duplicate family members and propose merges when necessary.
Rearrange the Biography section into a logical order, remove any GEDCOM junk and clean up after any merges. (see Biographies)
If there is a biography, make sure it is an originally written narrative, excluding any copyright or licensing violations (for example, not something that was copied and pasted from Wikipedia; see Copying Text)
If there's not a biography, try to lay out a basic narrative and/or timeline of the persons life. Getting the key facts in order will help others later.
Make sure the profile meets our Profile Aesthetics recommendations (see Profile Aesthetics and HTML and Inline CSS). See if you can add photographs, pictures, maps or other visual items.
Add categories, project templates, stickers and/or succession boxes if appropriate.
Debi, do we have someone who can help with Welsh surname issues? Working on the profile of one of the several John Cadwalader's, I find questions regarding the commonly seen arrival of 1684 on the Vine once I look at the passenger list as transcribed by two different sets of transcribers. I don't see the wife's family (unless we have the surname wrong) and he's not listed although one transcription lists seven unnamed servants (the other transcription appears to give the names).
Also, I'm afraid there will be a lot of additional work required on surrounding profiles as the sourcing is fairly spotty.
Jack Day has helped me before with Welsh names in this thread.
