We've been busy working with 85,000,000 profiles and some haven't gotten quite as polished yet as they should be. I feel like that's understandable. More hands always makes lighter work.<br /><br />But the good thing is, as more and more skeptics accept that 1) collaborative genealogy *is* the future and 2) the other sites have no way to compete, people are finally joining Geni and helping fix up the errors they find. I've always contended that it takes way more time to complain about a mistake on a profile than it does to click "Edit," fix it, and save. I suspect that as you yourself are working on Geni, you're finding that to be true; it's a pretty simple process.<br /><br />So I invite everyone to bring your wise minds, experience, and sources on over to Geni and at least try it out. I'm always willing to help new folks out, as are all other curators. And most non-curators in the Discussions area are just the same. :)<br /><br />I'm really glad you've gotten more active with our tree, Randy. Let me know if I can ever help with your lines.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086603459766397576noreply@blogger.com
