Germany Project Management

How do you know if a profile is managed by the Germany Project?

1. The profile manager is our project account: wikitreegermanroots@googlegroups.com aka WikiTree-53 (Germany Project WikiTree).
   
   AND
   
   
2. It has the following project box at the top of the profile: {{German Roots}}

... ... ... has German Roots.

If a profile needs project management, see below for instructions on how to add the project as manager.

Project Managed Profiles (PMPs)

The Germany Project manages profiles of Germans (born or died in Germany or spent a large part of their life in Germany) who meet one or more of the following criteria:

• The person is historically significant
• The person is less than 200 years old but meets Wikipedia's Notability test
• The person is significant to a Germany topic

The project honors these people by:

• adopting the profile if it is orphaned
• becoming a co-manager if the profile is not managed by another project
• improving the profile with a biography, sources and links
• maintaining the integrity of the profile

Project Protected Profiles (PPP)

Only a small portion of the Germany Project's managed profiles will need project protection. All project-protected profiles (PPPs) are project-managed profiles (PMPs), but not all project-managed profiles are protected.

The Germany Project follows the Wikitree guidelines for project protection and project managed profiles and we will add protection to a profile (whether or not they are notable) if:

• Aspects of their history are contentious, controversial, unproven or speculative and the biography or comments indicate that there has been dispute about:

- the identity of the person

- key details of the person’s life, or their descendants or ancestors

- or there has been G2G discussion requesting that the profile be locked

• The profile is prone to duplication
• The Last Name at Birth (LNAB) is unstable

The Germany Project protects a profile by:

• either adopting an orphaned profile or becoming a co-manager if the profile is not already managed by a Project
• applying PPP status, which locks the LNAB and the parents, spouses and children of the profile person
• researching the profile history using reliable sources and improving the biography if required
• encouraging and leading discussion about the profile person and their family on G2G
• maintaining the integrity of the finished profile by keeping it on our watchlist
