I saw the jump too.
It looks like this is another measure to check if a profile needs attention. This appears to tie into the Data Doctors latest challenge Add Dates and likely the focus on the year of accuracy. It looks like there are over half a million profiles on Wikitree with these kinds of errors. I hope that explanation might help a bit.

I don't add or detach United Kingdom on profiles where there's a PM, believing it's a personal choice of the PM, and not up to me to make what these days is often a political decision.
What is the current guidance on this issue please?

OK, lunch over, back to clearing Gedcom junk suggestions, which also happen to be totally unsourced without stickers!

If you need a detailed explanation I will do my best.

Back to the Wheeler unsourceds!

From saturday, 1 February, we are running a month-long "Go Green" challenge.
This will be region vs. region, rather than counties, the winner will be the region with the largest drop in total numbers (sourcing + connecting + suggestions).
All the contributing county team members within the winning region will be given a sticker for their profiles :)
So if you fancy sourcing, connecting or correcting for our region comment below!
Here is a link to the regional data. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England%2C_Regional_and_County_Statistics_Page
If you have any questions just ask :)
Note that you don’t need to sign up if you are already a member of this team. There's something for everyone to do, whether it be sourcing, connecting, or working on suggestions. Also, if you are concentrating on connecting, you may be able to find your county/region of choice on our largest branches page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England%27s_Largest_Unconnected_Branches

On WT+ I found https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Beaumont-1857 an Inskip in Biggleswade, who is already connected. There must be a good chance that they are connected somewhere.
It's simpler just to use England throughout - there's no ambiguity.
, as well as Wikitree getting it's facts wrong.
