What to do

Sourcing

• Check that facts are sourced. Try to find sources for ones that aren't sourced.
• 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.

Merge

• Check if there are any duplicate family members and propose merges when necessary.

Biography

• 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 (C&P) from Wikipedia; see Copying Text)
• Rearrange the Biography section into a logical order, remove any GEDCOM junk and clean up after any merges. (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Biographies)
• Make sure the profile meets our Profile Aesthetics recommendations (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Profile_Aesthetics and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:HTML_and_Inline_CSS ).
• 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 later.

Other

• See if you can add photographs, pictures, maps or other visual items.
• Add categories, project templates, stickers and/or succession boxes if appropriate.
• If you feel a profile is sufficiently "done", leave a comment for SJ and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!
