just a dusting it's not a lot and then we are supposed to get back up in the 50s by the end of next week i think so there's that but it's Illinois so it happens and there's Pam did i say steven hi steve somebody new popped into the friday date night discord channel who was it yeah um was it yelena yelena extat i i don't know if she's been in there before she was sharing stats that she found on a different free space page i thought we could take a look at that or at least whatever oh and ceso hi ceso i've only had one snow coming in overnight a few years back not even oh you must be in a very warm place in australia then benjamin oh tennessee sounds good 60s 60s 70s so that's about perfect yeah same same here in georgia pam it's really lovely today yeah and ross in new york's watch so i guess that cold weather yeah i guess that cold weather will be coming down to us yeah i guess i'll cover your pots are you do you have any flowers got on your flower pots yeah they've all died off for the season though so okay yeah um it's a nice night to snuggle in and do friday day night i think so i have to do a couple things when i get off of here but then i am gonna snuggle in i'm gonna i've got a movie lined up to watch all my whole family's gone i'm here all by myself tonight so oh yeah i have a date with myself tomorrow night is when we're gonna be getting the cold it'll be 31 here oh my gosh you guys don't deal with that very well do you 30s is fine it's less fine if it's like zero yeah nobody likes that anyway we don't like that here either even if we are used to it in the winter how somebody from facebook is is uh in florida and their temperature is about 74 that sounds perfect depending on the humidity right it's always the humidity oh there's rosalie too and lin lin right in main we have got people from everywhere today this is fantastic i love it from coast to coast from how many different continents do we have here we've got australia and north america who else do we have anybody in europe i haven't i haven't noticed anybody yet or the uk anyway i really didn't have anything planned i was going to depend on you guys to ask questions if you had any questions most everybody that shows up on fridays has done this before so we can talk about the the stats we could i was gonna yeah lana brought let me go pull up the channel because uh she brought some stats in that i thought were interesting they were a little different than what i use but i think she was really close i think they're just more up to date because i was off by like 20 oh john tiner is in ireland so you do oh that's right the pond yes i do remember that he's in ireland and joey you can't go outside right now buddy go lay down he didn't want to go outside until i got on here it's like a habit let's see so what was it she was talking about she said that undated profiles have decreased by 37892 which is a little more than what i had on my page because i didn't update it this week so obviously people are doing things that are improving our our numbers i love that so we're making slow but steady progress and i i had mentioned that you know you you uh you date one profile you usually end up dating the ones that are attached to it if they don't have dates and it just it's like uh you know like one of those puzzles where you fill in a word and it expands and you fill in more and i don't know if anybody else has ever seen those before i love that yes i'm not even talking about it i can't remember the name but there's a there's an app for it yeah i can't remember what it's called either i used to love doing those but anyway it just it's like a an explosion once you find one day you could just start rolling with all the rest and then it just helps to improve all kinds of stuff k k has a question oh yeah it's green locked managed by wikitree admin just leave some comments on the profile that's fine if you see me online on the or you can put it on the friday date night channel either one but comments work the the thing is if if you leave a comment i probably won't get it directly because i'm not it goes to the info at if it's managed by wikitree admin so i i can i will see it eventually but if you want to just leave a note in the discord channel that'll help too i'll get to it quicker is what i'm trying to say yeah a lot of words to say that i have to let this dog out so katie share something very interesting while i'm walking over here i don't know i know i'm not like i'm putting you on the spot right no i'll just i'll just talk to steven um you can always set it as an unmerged match or um is that what it's called yes unmerged match yeah um since he's not sure the he said part of it might not be right oh yeah set it in an unmerged match to do more to do more research and see if you can um confirm or reject it if you're not sure right yeah and then just you can set it to unmerged match so it doesn't go to default approval yeah and then it won't it won't disappear right um what does a1 post yeah i was just looking at it too i'm sorry this dog is driving me nuts joey um he wants to go out in the snow no i open the door he wouldn't go outside they're just crazy they're bored because the weather's bad and they've stuck inside so benton yes a1 had posted um for what questions to answer for i think the feature friday but this is friday date night we're only gonna we're gonna swap and do them every other week so yeah so they're gonna have on december 8 they're gonna have an AMA or an ask me anything on friday oh yes yeah so um yeah i think that might yeah yeah i'm apparently gonna have to throw my dogs in the basement when we're doing this so apparently abby was real quick and she added the death record for the the profile that k was working on so that's great yeah abby is on on the ball when it comes to the info at stuff nice she handles that and then she passes stuff off to each of us when we're uh when when it pertains to something that we cover so squirrel yes i need a squirrel to run by outside so that i don't know is he barking at the snowflakes no he's barking at kasey he's just being annoying he was sound asleep but when i started this laying on the couch sound asleep and now he came in here to instigate things he heard you and me talking oh yes we'll net that we do try to do that because we don't like to delete things unless we absolutely have to so that's great that you took your cousins profiles that's good yeah that's awesome thank you for doing that and i don't know about the rest of you but i have like right around 5000 on my watch list i don't like it to go much above that so i know that can bloat your watch list sometimes how many do i have i've never looked oh you've never looked i have 490 that's all yeah i'm very rude about more fitting i guess i guess oh look yes there is a there is hang on just a second i'll put it up here like there you go sue that is your instruction page it's got uh links to the wikitree plus reports that we use and it has some other ways to find profiles that need work we have a sticker out there that you can put on your profile what what else what else is out there statistics our schedule and what to do when you find a date because sometimes you'll find a date and the profile will be for a living person so the instructions tell you a category that you can put on those so that i can look at them later so everybody's talking about their watch lists now oh um i had a question if so i know in certain situations you do have to delete profiles like if they're for minors rare we try not to but yeah so does that count into the overall total that we've done or yeah yeah if we know it's not that common but yeah if we find like sometimes i'll find a generation where like the profile manager left their account is closed for some reason and some they might have not had dates on these profiles so they were set to open privacy setting if they left and these profiles were set the way they should have been then when their account was closed they should have been deleted because that's what we do with profiles for living people if we don't have somebody else to take over so if i find generations that you know like somebody born in the 1990s or something like that i will delete the profiles and yes it does reduce our numbers but we don't like to do that because yeah i know it leaves holes in the database we don't like that yeah go on both of you um and i don't ever delete profiles when like like i wouldn't delete this generation if there's another generation down here i wouldn't do that oh yeah this generation is just hanging out there and they're not attached to anybody so no i wouldn't i i try to be very careful and the goal is to find somebody that can take them so you work up the branches and hopefully you find a profile manager that can take them but then you have the issue of if these are living people you don't want to just give them to anybody yeah so we try not to do that but then we also have a wiki tree admin account that we have set up where we can put ones that were you know we think we'll be able to find somebody eventually to handle them and that's what k found that that green locked profile was being handled by wiki tree admin so so yeah oh going back a little bit john tiner only has 111 on his watch list oh my god really small good job yes i think what happened in my case is i imported a jed come back in like 2008 and of course we can see what happens with those yeah i think mine's probably just made up of like siblings of ancestors that's probably my watch list yeah let's see what's leslie saying here that is good to know if i'm sourcing in the profile with dates was a police officer that had been killed and people in the tree that were survivors her brother and her niece so yeah we don't i mean a lot of times we'll have a generation like that where one person is deceased and we don't we don't want to delete everybody in the family because then they're just hanging out there by themselves and just doesn't make sense to wipe out everybody so we put those on the wiki tree admin account it's actually admin wiki tree account which is opposite of the category that i details so yes would prefer to hand profiles off to direct descendance that's the best way to handle it yes or in some cases a cousin or somebody who actually knew them we don't want to pass them off to strangers so i'm going to take the banner down now let me know if you guys need it again oh let's see what bothered me it looked like the family had no idea it was on there oh it looked like the yeah we have we have asked people not to create profiles for people they don't know like right after they die there's a i can't i can't remember the help page right off the top of my head but it's just out of courtesy to the family it's not a it's not a best practice to go create brand new newly deceased people that's give them some time to grieve instead let's see trying to think of anything else we want to look at here undated profiles oh here i was just looking at the stats that yelena shared with us oh yeah oh okay john or no who created this paul gearza what gearzewski created this um and he's got a running total starting with may of 2018 and the last one was just uh four days ago he updated the profiles for the number that are that exist so you can see we have some it gets a little bigger and now we started really concentrating on decreasing them so you can see a jump on our little chart the last number i have is for november 7th and it was 37,871 so i won't get another update on that for a few more days yet but you guys have done some really good work you can tell when the source of fun was we had like 15 1500 profiles or more yeah i jumped yeah i also have a spreadsheet that i used which is kind of fun uh Leslie has a question yes um leslie found i think it looked like living people and she wanted to know how to notify you and so go to that free go to the free space page leslie that i had up there if you need it again i'll pop it back up here um and there are instructions on there for what to do if you find a date and if it looks like it's for a living person then there's a category listed out there you can put it in you can either add the date which will lock the profile or you can put the date in a note in the biography the free text area to tell me when i go out there and look at it what you found and just leave me as much information as you can and then we'll take care of it from there because john wants to know what that noise is in the background i don't know i know i hear crickets outside i don't know what that is oh is that that could could that be what it is maybe that's only here i can hear yeah i don't know what that is the door open that's oh okay john has 798 not 111 in his oh good still that's a drop in the bucket yeah i i have a hard time letting go of them if i don't have them in shape you know like i don't want to turn them loose unless i've gone in to make sure they look at least halfway decent i understand sounds like a fan i don't know what it is i hear it too i don't think it's coming from here but it could just be interference of some type so my my laptop fiend is not running no me neither i don't know good advice from linette put the death date in first or at least mark that they're not living and that way you can set the privacy to open dog tom i don't know if any of y'all here let me see it stops all it stops before you muted yourself i haven't muted myself oh okay well i don't know nothing has changed on this one yeah i don't know what that was anyway any more questions you guys because i don't want to keep you if you want to get out there and start dating profiles so there it goes again let me mute myself it's you katie is it the wheels turning in your head she's thinking really hard i'm sorry no i don't know what it is there's a lash hi a lash it must be my microphone must be too sensitive that's weird hmm so yeah if you guys don't have any more questions i'm gonna log off because i want you guys to have time to get out there and do your thing and we'll see you on discord no more questions nothing steven my mic is up here and my hard drive is down here and maybe it's just the way the cricket sound maybe they are really loud it's not cicadas it's crickets i don't know it's not cicadas they've been cricketing all day i don't know it's funny oh i have to share my charlie story for linette let me go back here i have to find it first well leslie if you think of any more of your questions you can join us on discord and ask us in the friday night challenge
