 Hello everybody. How are you Katie? I'm good eating lucky charms. We were both just talking about how neither one of us has had lunch so Katie is making up for that by having lucky charms. I'm having water. I've got my water here too. I'll go eat something. I'll be ravenous when we get done here and then I'll go eat something. Steven needs to send me a pie maybe because that that would be delicious. He has I think blackberries. Is it blackberry? Yeah. I'm sure it's blackberries that he was talking about two weeks ago. Mmm. Oh that's that does sound good. My mom made the best potato salad so I always try to make potato salad the way she did. My favorite has a little bit of mayo, a little bit of brown mustard, chopped up eggs. Now I'm really hungry. Steven said he could email you a slice of blackberry. Okay that'd be great. We'd have the least amount of calories in it. Welcome back Robin. Yes thank you Robin for being here. We missed you for a few weeks and there's Leah too and Lynette has been here. I think she was the first one in. Yep she was the first one here and then Kathy Nava and then they were making fun of me about something. Oh they said I was in disguise and wanted to know how long it took to take the makeup off and I'm like makeup. So I'm dense because I haven't had lunch I think. We're slow. Slow processing speeds. Yeah yeah exactly. Low blood sugar it'll do it every time. Janine and Kay also. Oh hello Janine and Kay. Oh you know I think how did I miss them? I don't see them on here. They commented. I don't see them. Oh they were up for like 350. Oh there they are. Hello ladies I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention and we have Mary Malarkey from Chicago. We're kind of neighbors then Mary. I'm near Chicago. So I think how many of you guys have been working on the challenge this week? We started a new one on Wednesday for oh I'm drawing a blank. I don't I'm not paying enough attention to the challenge this week. Oh Loreen McGinnis and we just finished up with Amy Johnson Crowe so that was fun. Oh fun. I had to go and watch that wrap up. I did not get to watch it yet. I was busy Wednesday night but I'm always busy at that time so. I know. Turns out she's my sixth cousin. Oh nice. Yeah the last I heard that was how far we had gotten so that's kind of cool. That's pretty close. Like yeah yeah if you think about it I mean you know not sisters but still pretty close. I like that. Oh John Tyner just dropped in. Talking about food as well. Oh of course Toffee Krispies sound incredibly delicious. Yeah. So we were talking about what we should talk about today because last time two weeks ago if you recall we took a whole hour. So maybe not an hour this time Julie. No. Carriage of hunger. Yeah we're gonna go a lot shorter. I thought I just purchased some statistics instead. Oh yeah Julie has good statistics to share. I do. We have a milestone approaching. Let me I'm just gonna share. I'll do the window. Brace yourselves. Here it goes. Of course now my dog wants out. I hear an echo. I can hear me on your computer I think. I know. Okay here we go. There we go. The infinite tunnel. Excuse me just one second. Casey you can't wait till I'm done. You know outside. She doesn't want to go outside. She's just sitting there looking at me. I don't know what she wants. Okay so here's the stats you guys. Can you see it? Now you can't. Look at that number right there. We are like just a little over a thousand away from 30,000 profiles improved. Added with dates added. That's just the ones in these suggestions here. So how many weeks has it been? Like when did y'all start this? Oh the first of November. Oh the one down here. What falls in? It's you know it's been what is that? Eight months, nine months I guess. I just lost my spot. Let me go back. I'm making y'all dizzy. Lynette says like Casey you want some food since we were talking about it. She's mad about somebody walking on the street outside or neighbors out walking his dogs you know like he has no business doing that. Not allowed. No. So yeah so in nine months we've done 28,979 almost 30,000 profiles and you know you guys work on these things so you know that sometimes it just doesn't go as quickly as you think it's going to. So I think that's a lot of progress and that doesn't include somebody was asking me earlier this week about finding profiles that just have incomplete dates. You know like they might have a birthday but they don't have a death date. Right. Or vice versa. So somebody I think it was Antonia was asking me about that and so she was going to start working on some things like that. So those are also improving. I mean anything that you can add like that is going to make it so much easier to identify duplicates when you're creating new profiles. So when somebody new comes in and they start creating a profile for an ancestor and they you know this stuff pops up it just makes connections so much faster. So this is just awesome awesome stuff that you guys are doing. Is there a suggestion for what Antonia was looking for? There is not specifically but there's a way to search on wikitree plus me hang on a second let me pull that up and then I'll bring up the help page and share it there's a lush has some magic words. Yeah I do like the magic words. I'm over here. They're magically delicious. They are. When you have food in like seven hours. Okay so here we go again. Let's go back over here. Here is the wikitree plus help page. Could you guys see the URL up there or is are you just see I can't see what you're seeing. It's pretty small for me. I can see the the bar but I don't know. Okay it's just help colon wikitree space plus easy easy peasy and if you'll notice a lesh has all of these magic words that can be used with the tech search. So for example where did it go. No Chris now I'm not gonna be able to find it. I saw something that said missing. Up here. Missing location. Yeah there's it's like B zero or something like that. Dang it here. Oh here. So this is in the text search section. So birth date is the B prefix. Oh I see it. Yeah. So you can put in B zero to get profiles that don't have any birth dates. Same thing for the D zero to get all missing dates or deaths sorry. That's I didn't know that. I learned something new. Yeah I know me too because I don't I don't search like this enough. I don't I just don't get enough time to go out and do the stuff but I would like to. So this if you go to the wikitree plus help page right here. This is what you need to put at the end of your wikitree.com slash wiki URL. That's I depend on knowing how to put the URLs in because that's just the fastest way for me to get around on stuff. So if you just put this at the end of that URL you'll find this page and it has all kinds of fun stuff that you can do on wikitree plus. Should definitely check out that page. Yeah and if you're on if you are on wikitree plus let me go back over there. I'll share again. If you're on wikitree plus here and you click this little green question mark it'll take you right there. Easy peasy. I always use my control click so that it opens in a separate tab though. So fun times yes. Yeah so I don't know. Does anybody have any questions today because I didn't really plan a lot to talk about since I know Katie is taking off in a little bit and I'm starting. You too. I think y'all will get to 30,000 for next time. I think so because we did over a thousand profiles in the past week not two weeks since we did Friday date night two weeks ago but in the last week you guys did over a thousand profiles so I think by what's one does he run that it was on the 29th so the 5th so I think he runs it on Sundays. I think you guys will hit 30,000. So yay. I know it's pretty awesome. So Lynette says she's working on Arkansas unsourced profiles so that's cool and he has a box of suggestions at the top. Oh well let's go look at the unsourced list. Yeah I want to see what that looks like. This is gonna take a minute I won't take it back it didn't. Let's go look at Illinois. What if he only has it on Arkansas? No he doesn't. Oh right now it's limited to just my watch list. Let's see North America, United States. I know I'm not sharing it but I will and Illinois. Now I'll share. There we go. So yeah so here he's got the unsourced categories fun fun we'll call it the fun box up here on the category page so you can go by century and choose profiles to work on based on what's listed up here for unsourced which is very exciting. Oh and he look at Alish he even put the ones without dates up here. I didn't that's new to me I did not know that was there isn't that cool. They're working today. I know. So yeah here we have all these with no dates. Go ahead. Narrow down to state. I know do Georgia's. Let's go look at this one. There she is. There's almost nothing on here including no profile manager so have at it you guys. Oh it's a D-corsi. Oh yeah I didn't see that at first. Well that makes sense aren't they all. Sometimes I feel like they are. I feel like they're just all from the D-corsi. I think there were 10,000 people in that one. But yeah so we've got a pair of sisters here. We don't know who their dad was but we know that they were born in Woodstock, Illinois. So that's a possibility if I knew I'm gonna guess based on their names Haley and Brooke. These are probably for living people. Yeah I was just about to wonder. Yeah so I might just go ahead and take care of those after we get done here because they shouldn't if they don't have a parent. I mean I don't know how old they are but if there's kids out there and they don't have parents managing them they need to be deleted. We can't keep those so yeah There she goes. Thank you Lynette. I had not looked at that yet. I'm really happy you showed that to us. That's awesome. Some guy named James put up a bunch of undated profiles too I guess. There's another gentleman that you will find his name on a bunch of stuff. I'm not gonna share names out here but he put up he was very enthusiastic and I think he started like back when Wikitree was brand new and he uploaded tens of thousands of profiles and then he got overwhelmed and left so I don't know exactly what happened. I mean you can't blame him he was just trying to help you know he didn't know and everything was pretty we'll say unregulated back then so. Yeah I run into pioneer stock a lot. Yeah me too. Yeah there's this stuff that an Indie grandma, yeah K knows. I don't think I've run into that one. No I have. Yeah those are two to Jed. Jed comes that you'll run into quite a lot. There's another one. I can't remember what it's called but it has a lot of my dad's family in it. You know it's like it makes me think was I related am I related to the person that uploaded that but I don't know I share sure a lot there's certain lines out here that I share with a lot of our Wikitreer so that's kind of exciting. Mm-hmm and yes John the source of fun is coming up. Have you guys signed up yet? I have. Me too. I'm the captain. I have to be there. Actually last time for the connectathon you guys were like you did great without me. I like oh they don't need me. I'm just there to cheer for you guys anyway so and Robin does a great job. She's been taking her registrations so yay Robin. That makes me very happy and we lost to Aowyn today. I thought she was gonna come and join us but I'm glad I showed up. Me too. Yeah I don't know what happened to Aowyn so anyway I think we are gonna keep this short today we've been going for almost 20 minutes. I just don't have a whole lot to share. I'm really glad that Lynette is here though and showed us that the 131 through 134s are on that report on the unsourced categories. I'm gonna start using that like crazy. Fall down that rabbit hole. Stephen you can't be on two teams. Gotta pick one. Need to be. No you can't be on two teams. Charles wanted to know what is Sourceathon. Oh okay I'm sorry I missed that Charles. It's one of our quarterly marathons. We for 72 hours we all get together and we work on adding sources to profiles that don't have them. And so it's just the main well in addition to improving the tree which is of course the goal of the whole event it's just a lot of fun to hang out together and every four hours we pop in and do updates for you guys and talk about stats. Excuse me answer questions just whatever you know it happens to be going on and by the end of the 72 hours it gets a little punchy. So we just are here to have fun in addition to working on adding sources to the tree that's one of our fun community events that we have every every three months. Yeah like a really long wait between bonds and then like this one doesn't feel like any time. I agree I know we just had the Connectathon back in July and now all of a sudden we're registering for the Sourceathon and that will be the first weekend in October. So we have a month to get registered. So Charles if you go out to G2G go up to the help menu and click on the forum. The registration post will be pinned at the top of G2G and you can find that and get go pick a team and come enjoy 72 hours and you know if you guys can't do all 72 hours we get it. That's fine. Please sleep. Exactly. We just you know whatever time you you can spend is fantastic. We do have prices for the Sourceathon. People donate prizes and I think the list is getting to be pretty fun. I haven't looked at it in the last couple of days so we'll talk about that maybe in two more weeks because there'll be a lot more stuff out there but the prizes are awarded randomly. We just draw names with that. We use a random number generator and we draw names every four hours to award prizes to whoever is participating. So it's just a lot of fun. It is. I look forward to them and then by the end of the weekend I don't want to talk to anybody anymore. Fine. It's like I love you guys but I'll see you in big months. Yeah. Registration closes at the end of this month I think. I think we two days before. I think it's usually the Wednesday before. Yeah. I don't know. Mindy could answer that. That would be 29th. That's probably about right. I'm not in charge of the sign so I can't definitively answer questions but that's usually what happens. So sleep and eat Robin says. Yeah do it all now. You have a whole month. Just sleep and eat and then you can just go without for three days. That sounds better. Yeah. Water. Have like a big pack of like liquid food stuff on your back. Straw. Yeah. That sounds awesome. I can't recommend it. No. Your wrists would be shot and your eyes would be bloody. Not bloody blood shot. You'll be crying bloody tears. That's not bad. I think so. Yeah. So you guys thanks for stopping by. I'll see you out on Discord. I'll be popping in there in a little bit. I hope you guys will come join us there. I put I put the link to the Discord help page that will help you get to the Discord server for Friday date night. So the post for Friday date night has that link. Come join us and we will see you out there except for my doorbell is going to ring. My dogs are going to lose their minds in about three seconds. Oh, four make liars out of me. They're the FedEx guy just dropped off a chewy box. They never ring the doorbell. I know. They usually lose their minds though. They didn't even notice. Oh. All right. Well, I'm going to rock and roll and John Tyner enjoy your crispies. They sound delicious. I'm happy to see everybody. Oh, I see Billy Keefeber popped in too. I don't know if I said hi to June. Hi, June. Bye, June. So you guys have fun. I will see you out on Discord. I'll be out there in just a little bit. So bye.
