It's wiki tree Friday date night and It's linked in the g2g post and we just have our schedule out here And we have instructions on how to find profiles without dates Some different places to look we have the suggestion reports and Some other ideas to I my personal favorite for finding profiles without dates is To start searching for duplicates Because you always find profiles without dates So that's always a good good thing to get those cleared up So you could just work on your watch list and go through and see if you find duplicates there And then there are instructions for when you find a date We have a category set up In case you find something that is for a living person and it does not already have a manager You can put it in this wiki tree admin category and that means that I can go look at it later and See if I can find a date or somebody to manage it and We have How to estimate dates down here There's a help page. It's a great help page. I used to use this all the time Just has some good words of thumb and you know different dates that you can Estimate I right before we came on I Found a date for a lady based off of her marriage date. Oh, nice. There was at least that. Yeah I had that to go on and so I found her around on family search What else do we have hints and tips a Little bling we have a sticker if you want to put a sticker on your profile Do I I don't think I have an example to show for that yet. Can you see that? Is that shown up in the no? Oh No, it's not because I'm you just did the screen Yep, I just did the tab And We have stats. I love stats. Yes We made some really good progress since we started doing this in November hasn't been fast But as those of you who've already done this know, it's not fast Sometimes it's really hard to find dates But I wanted to point out That we are just a smidgen away from 5,000 profiles and I think we can do that today or tonight or Whatever whenever you guys feel but before we meet the next time very excited. I Think we can do it. We just need like 228 more profiles Isabelle's making jokes. Oh now what?
