ATTENTION Curators, please assist

Now pro users can do all merges, just equal to curators, and non pro users cannot do any merge anymore, we ask the pro users of the Collaboration Pool to collaborate this way that non pro users can have their mergerequests executed.

Non pro users can then post their merge-requests here !

If non pro users want to merge two profiles they can use the mergetool. Pro users who want be helpfull can judge these requestst and accept or deny the merges.

Not everybody knows the mergetool, for that reason I mention the mergetool here:

http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/1stID?to=2ndID

copy this to word,
replace the 1stID and the 2ndID by the IDnumbers from the profiles to be merged, you find these in the address on top of the profile page,
copy the mergetool to this discussion,
enter
and a helping curator or pro-user will treat this request.

I have merge requests hanging too, Carole. Requests I made to pro-users with thousands of profiles to manage. Until Friday I worked with sidebranches and side-sidebranches to my tree in the name of the big tree. Not for my own purpose. I spent a lot of time by mapping my grandmothers family in an area of Denmark.

And for the records. The dobble profiles shown in my center, are not dublicates to my own tree. Peter Larsen, Lars Petersen, Søren Jensen, Jens Sørensen and so on, were and are common names in Denmark.

I wonder why Geni don't use birthdate, -place, and date and places of death, when they automatically try to find dublicates. My own profiles are well lit-up in that way.

Think I just lost a post.

Fred Bergman - your link says no permission to view :-)

But thanks for your always polite attempt to help.

@Henny Nielsen
You must copy the tool to word or anything else and edit further there, not execute the tool but just copy here are in the collaboration pool discussion. There is also more explanation, it works perfect !

are=or

OK :)

Carole (Erickson) Pomeroy,Vol. Curator just as a proof of concept I tested with merging my mother as non pro. It is not possible without paying. Geni is my mother's pimp now!

Henny and Arne we are relegated to the baby pool. We can privatize our tree, we can download it and put it elsewhere, we can delete it from this site, and we can make sure as many people as possible know how the whole loving world of Geni treats it's own, through face-book, twitter, and the like.

What are the parameters which curators can use to de-privatise private profiles? I have a number of 18th and early 19th century profiles which on which I would like to complete merges, but one of them is private.

e.g.:

Jemima W. Sloot

and some of her children.

I was unable to make this profile public Private. I assume it is withing the family group of someone and is claimed. Another curator might be able to tell you more.

Quite simple: We can only make profiles public if there are no claimed profiles (i.e. Geni users) within that profiles family group range.

In the Jemima W. Sloot case you have her husband's first cousin thrice removed: R. Moore which is the only one in addition to the profile manager that can make the profile public.

Carole (Erickson) Pomeroy,Vol. Curator

I don't see anything Pending on John Bray, the younger, of Eaton Bray, is there something I'm not seeing?

As always we'll work together, Carole, and get it sorted.

Brant Robert Gibbard I suggest you contact Private User who is manager of that profile and ask to collaborate.

A couple weeks back I was greeted with 89 emails in my inbox in quick succession indicating profiles that had been deleted.
One: William Klem (William Richard Klem) had deleted 89 profiles that I manage. No word at all for explanation. I messaged him, but all that resulted was that no more profiles have since been deleted. Still no word of explanation.

I'm wondering if it's possible to easily restore all these profiles, and perhaps if anyone here could look into the activity of this William Klem. Is it legitimate, or is he just wreaking havoc?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, but somehow (partially my fault, partially not)
Eleanor Huse has been married to her son. All of the correct info is on:
Abel Huse
I have all the source info there to show that Abel was married to Eleanor AND Mary. Can someone please help to untangle this? I tried to disconnect her but I think that only made it worse.
Thank you and I apologize!

Follow the link you got in the geni mail to undelete, or check your list here:

http://www.geni.com/list/deleted

My guess is the user didn't understand and stopped when you questioned. If you notice it again, use the help platform or report mechanism on profiles to raise a Customer Service case.

Jessica Marie German divorced Abel from Eleanor

lol. It's funny, Erica Howton, because I went to the help system first, and they told me to come here. :)

I know about the ability to 'undelete' via the deleted list, but I was hoping for an easier way to undelete all 89 profiles all at once. Oh well.

Thanks.

Thank you Fred!

Could someone please these. They do not look to be the same....

"unmerge" them I meant to say....

Linda, done

:-)

Thanks Ofir!

This one needs to be unmerged, too.

Looks like you already got it. Thanks!

Somehow the whole group of Humphrey de Bohuns have been lined up incorrectly for pending merges. Could anyone look at the entire group and figure out how to fix it?

Linda, can you send me some URLs for the profiles you're talking about? Thanks!

Private User, - I undeleted those profiles for you. It does not take many seconds to click the Undelete link on each item and if you are holding the Ctrl key down you does not have to wait for the result and can continue on the next link.

You obviously have common relatives so you two should start collaborating and merge profiles instead of deleting duplicates

Examples:
http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000000230300006?to=6000000004...
http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000000230298988?to=6000000004...
http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000000230298974?to=6000000004...

The importance of merging profiles instead of deleting duplicates is to ensure that both of you have full access to the result.

Private User Please note that with the new poilicies in effect, the merging can be detrimental for the plain user .
As everything is restricted to the realm of his/her managed profiles, every merge has 50% probability of degrading the plain user to the status of a follower (you probably have noticed plentitude of recent writings on the wall declaring that someone has started following somebody, these are post merge postfactum declarations).
So the plain user who earlier had an access to this profile has now been walled away from it.
Already plain users are forced to do the search on Google instead of Geni.

Arne I'm not sure what you mean by that. When profiles are merged, both managers retain full edit permissions. The "following" newsfeed story goes along with being assigned management; by default you are set to follow every profile you manage.

No Arne, that is not correct. Once you are a manger you will always be a manager and have rights to the profile even if it is merged and shared. "following" is something different entirely. What Following does is to provide you notifications about that profile in your news feed.
