 joining us for the Lakefield Builders Cubicle Party. This is the March edition and we have some new information from the last cubicle party we had. We have the ability now to use the Challenge Tracker to track the work that we're doing when we add links back to the profiles. So the GTG post has all the information about it. I just wanted to kind of show where we are so far this month. It's all huge increase over last month. We have 21 participants and over 1500 ancestors with links back to them so far this month, so that's exciting. And I just had somebody leave a new post on the GTG post for the challenge that they just found this and are excited to help out so probably see some more people join in. So one thing that's come up before is a question that has come up is how do they add links back from ancestry.com and so I just wanted to kind of go through. I just created these couple profiles, this brother and sister that are notable singers. And I'm just going to go through and add links to the various places so that everybody can see how that's done. So the first child is Shirley Mae Gunter. We're just going to grab her ID, wiki tree ID here and go over to her wikipedia profile. If you have the wiki tree B enabled on your browser, you'll have down here along the side. If there is an entry in wiki data for this person, wiki tree will be a link. The next link that's available is if you click on this, it gives you the style box where you can copy the markup for the wiki data template to paste into the profile wiki tree profile. The next link here is going to give you the ability to copy the wikipedia article link, the internal link for the wiki tree profile as well. So it's just something that's fairly new that Flo has enabled out there. It's kind of exciting. So to add a link back to the wiki tree profile from wiki data, you just go to their wikipedia article and on the right hand side here, there's a link for wiki data and you just scroll all the way to the bottom. Make sure usually wiki tree is down here at the bottom and we already know that it isn't linked because there was no link for wiki tree from the main page. So you just start typing in wiki tree and it just choose wiki tree person ID and you just populate that in there from your clipboard and then you just click publish and you're good to go. So now if you go back to the wikipedia article and you refresh the page, you'll see that now wiki tree is a link so that takes you right to that person's profile. On family search, there's a couple different ways you can do this. We cover it on the link builders page, team page. The fastest way that I've been doing it and it's right on this front page so it's really visible is I've just been adding this little text here and then on the note, I just leave having my clipboard a statement prepared. The wiki tree profile contains additional sources and information so that's what it looks like in the notes section. It's also in the collaborate section, it shows up there. On find a grave, you can just leave a flower and we kind of talk through and give some examples on how to do this more in depth on the link builders page and there's YouTube videos on how to do this as well. Also, where this flower is, this image, or you can use the wiki tree logo whichever one you like. Oh, that's not what I wanted to do. So with find a grave, you can't leave a full URL so I just leave this statement and that's what it looks like when you're done. And then on ancestry, so this is a record of her obituary notice. If you scroll down, you can leave a public comment. So you can say this and then leave a little comment about how the wiki tree profile contains additional sources and information because that's a kind of a main specific record for her. If there was an actual death record, which is another one I'll show later on her sibling, that's another way you can do it too. And then this is discogs.com. So for musicians, this is a site. I don't have the ability yet because I'm fairly new on this site. But you can add sites. Just like I've shown on IMDB, you can add external links. They kind of have a different way to go about it. And once I'm enabled to be able to make edits to the pages, I'll do a little video on how to do it. But if you are on discogs, this is an option to link back to the wiki tree profile. And then if they're in movies or anything, IMDB is a really good place to do that. So then when you've gone and added links to all those places on the profile when you've made the edit and you've added the links there, here they all are, right here is the challenge tracker. You just click link builder challenge and then the places that you added a link back to. Eventually, Alash is going to have it so that we can have scores by site. So we can see how many links are being added to wiki data or IMDB and those types of places on this. There'll be an option right here on the score sheet. So that's what I wanted to cover. And so does anybody have any questions or want to see anything? I'm really excited about how many people are joined in it. I think since it's been added to the challenge tracker, it's easier for people to do it now. It's made it so people, oh, what's this? You know, and then they go ahead and join in. So sure, which is great. Yeah, I've just got to remember to actually check all my sayings because I do so many more links and I haven't checked them all. Yeah, I know there's, I had to be able to remember about, I'd heard about Discog's site before, but I hadn't really used it that much. So I think it was Judy Stets that mentioned it in the Notables channel. So yeah, there's always, and like wikipedia and there's TARDIS, wiki, different fandom sites, those are really great places to add links back to too. But I think the majority of people are doing find a grave and family search. That's what I've gotten the most questions about, which is great because it's just another place. Yeah, any place is great. Actually, I popped in to just say thank you because this link building is huge for us. It's one of the ways that we can rank higher in Google, which is what we need because that's basically our business plan. So the more links, the better for sure. Yeah, eventually I want to get a group of people that would be interested in going through and adding to wiki data links to our location categories. Oh, that's cool. That's a whole thing too. Yeah. So I've done a few and some of the projects also like Quakers. Yeah. Very cool. If I looked lost, it's because what you just said just went right over my head. You want to see what I'm talking about? So just like the person page, the article for Shirley here, if you click on her location of Coffeeville, Kansas, there's the wiki data item for that as well. And then if you find, let's see, on Shirley's profile here, I've got the category for Coffeeville, Kansas. So if you just grab that ID, Coffeeville, Kansas, and go into the wiki data page for Coffeeville, scroll down to the bottom, add a statement, wiki tree, category or space page is another option besides person ID. Oh, okay. So yeah. So like there's space pages for different military, what am I trying to say, like regiments, you know, when somebody's you can do that for a space page linked to a specific space page. Okay. Because if there's a Wikipedia article about it, too, then you can build a link between the two. So let me ask this. Wikipedia has Superbowl pages. I've created some Superbowl pages in wiki tree. I can take that ID number, go to the Wikipedia thing, click the data thing and add the my Superbowl page onto that wiki data. So if someone looks at it. Yeah. Oh, okay. And like when we have a one-place study, or even if somebody's just made a page for a building or a school, and maybe that's a notable place, it's on the National Historical Register. If there's a Wikipedia article, you can do the same thing with that. So anything, pretty much anytime there's a Wikipedia article about it, you can link back to it because there's a wiki data, I had a property for it as well. So, yeah. But that's any of our IDs. That's not, I don't really don't really have a way to track that in the challenge tracker, because it's not, you know, we don't track a space page edit as a, or a category page edit as something that can be tracked on the challenge tracker. So that's just, I think, like extra credit. But it will help. Yes, it all helps. Yeah, definitely. So it does all help. And even like the, so like for those historical registered places that are on the National Park Service, the nps.gov, if there's a way we can make, like make a comment, maybe, I mean, just kind of start thinking outside of the box of the different websites that you can link back to wiki tree from. So I know I think it was, we did it in the wiki tree day presentation. One of the ambassadors mentioned that he is an admin for the city website that he helps run it. And so he's got links back to wiki tree from the site. So that's kind of cool. But yeah, just lots of different options. How are you guys doing tonight? Or Darren, you're in the morning, right? Afternoon. Afternoon. How's it going? Yeah, all right. First autumn storm probably happening. Wow. But yeah, just a little bit of dusting of snow today. It was like 17 degrees. Last night. I'm hoping it'll start warming up. Yeah, apparently there's supposed to be some snow down further south than we are. Okay, well, I'm going to go ahead and stop the recording unless there's something else that I can share or answer any questions specifically about link building. No, I just, somebody had messaged me because they were really living their childhood and googled the Baptist church in Connellsville, Pennsylvania. My fourth great grandparents, their name, both the husband and the wife, their name is on the stained glass window in that church. And on the church's website, there's a little information thing, and then it has like the before and after photo of that window before the restoration and after. And I'm like, oh my gosh, that's so awesome. Because he went and googled the name Samuel Trevor, my profile of him on Wikitree popped up. So that's why he sent me the message. So this link building thing actually kind of, it's cousin me. It's definitely cousin me. Yeah. Yeah. That's how I found Wikitree was because somebody had a picture of an ancestor that I had never seen before on the profile forum. So that's what got me started is a Google search. So yeah, I just, I hadn't experienced the cousin Bate Rilla before that. I mean, he's not related to the, he's not related to the family, but because he had found the, my profile of him on Wikitree, he contacted me about the church with the stained glass window and stuff. So now I got some research to do because they're like one of the founding members of that church. Me, that's really cool. So I can, I'm gonna link, I'm assuming I can link the church's website to his Wikitree profile. So I'll do that. And then let, let the church or the historical society or whatever know about the profile too, because maybe they'll, if you've got a nice write up, a nice biography for them, and you're mentioning them, then maybe they'll link back. Oh, yeah. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. I mean, his profile is, there's not a whole lot to his profile right now, but that's why I need to do the research, which once I do, I know it will become better. Well, another place to think about is, you know, chronicling.gov, where they have all those images, historical images. Right. You could also put, because you can put comments and just, you know, those things, you know, all. So we can put their, at least their ID there too. Yeah. And like Trove, the Trove website, that also has the ability for you to add comments, and you can link back to Wikitree for the profile that the article's about. I mean, a lot of most websites will have the ability to add a comment or something. So anyway. That's been interesting. All right. And hopefully people watching, later on, learn these new things too. Yeah. Or if somebody has ideas, more ideas, and share them, you know, leave comments on the video because we do get those. So all right. Well, we'll talk to you guys later. Thanks. Thanks for pitching in to help out.
