ATTENTION Curators, please assist

I would like to take over the public profiles managed by Robert Levy.

Private User

He seems to have had no recent activity and has never answered my messages. He is part of my husband's Levy line.

Roberta Jaffer

Robert Levy was active december 3rd 2013. That is just 1 1/2 month ago.

@jadra - It was my grandmother Judith and her sister Adah not my mother.

Sorry Stephen
I was actually refering to them , grandmother and her sister
From what I can see it looks fine
Is it the path you have a problem with (in which case you just
Need to refresh it) or how it looks like in a tree view?

When I and my great Aunt look at her (Adah) profile, her sister my grandmother (Judith) is not shown as one of her sisters. It only show my other great aunt, their sister Edith.

Mike Stangel

Mike - your help is needed here
Have a look at these two sisters profile pages
Private
Judith Rothstein
On Adah page, Judith does not show up

@Remi Trygve Pedersen Thank you for checking.

No reason to involve Mike, - she was hidden in her immediate family section.

Thanks Jadra and Bjorn

Thanks Bjørn!

Dear Curators,
Could someone explain this to me? How can someone delete one of my profiles if that person is not a collaborator or a manager? I can see from the tree that this profile needs to be merged with a private profile, but the answer is not to delete my profile. Here is the message I got from GENi:

Dear Jessica,

Hamilton Richards has deleted the profile for Hamilton Richards. If necessary, you can use the link below to add him back:

Kind regards,

I am always happy to correct any errors I have made. If this profile has errors, please let me know. I have undeleted the profile. This is the person who deleted my profile:

Hamilton Richards

Can he be stopped from doing it again?

Thanks for your help,
Jessie German

Hi Jessie

I sent you a private message.

hi about this profile: Marie-Madeleine Blondeau

Replying to Jessica Marie German.

I received an unsolicited message from Geni drawing attention to entries for my family. The entries were full of errors, which I spent a few minutes trying to correct. Because the Geni user interface is unfortunately extremely clumsy, I lost patience before I got all the errors corrected, and the family profile is still a mess (my father occurs twice, as his own half brother!).

You don't have to worry about stopping me from "doing it again". I don't expect ever to visit this site again, and all future emails from Geni will be filed as junk.

What we need is a comprehensive user guide and that means some kind of stable enviroment of rights and functionality. Some users just don´t know how to act or behave and think the system is faulty. Yes, no system is without errors, making mistakes is humane and system is made by humans, but users cannot always be protected from their own misleads or inapt behaviour.

In regards to the issue of Hamilton Richards, father and namesake, an unfortunate situation occurred. I added the Grandfather, Henry Howe Richards, and father Hamilton, both deceased, to the line I was working on. A match popped up and I sent a request to the living Hamilton Richards to merge. The match on the grandfather was accepted. In an attempt to remove duplicates the living Hamilton deleted my Hamilton instead of merging. The error of his father being duplicated elsewhere as a half-brother was as a private profile not connected to my work. I'm sorry that Mr. Richards did not contact anyone before the deletion was made, and I see that Erica has corrected the half-brother business. I apologize if my actions caused the loss of a GENi user, as that was never my intent.

But, that does not answer my question. In the past, as a PRO, I've attempted to delete profiles as was flat stopped because either they were not my profiles or there was more than one manager on the profile. I was the ONLY manager on the profile he deleted and we are not collaborators. So, how, as a non-PRO, on any type of GENi user, can he delete one of my profiles? Is that how it is supposed to work?
Thanks,
Jessie German

Simply because these profiles was violating his privacy range and he had both access and full right to delete them, independent if he is a manager, Pro or not.

Annoying yes, but I think you would react yourself if some totally stranger invaded your privacy range with profile duplicates, even of your father which seem to be the case here. I think you would consider deleting them your self.

All profiles within a user's family group can be deleted or changed by the user, unless it is a claimed profile.

Private User
Theses profiles are duplicates of my father and I, and I can not delete them. The original profiles are private and we are still alive! I am not going to merge them because we do not know this person. What can I do? I am showing up as my own first cousin, and my father my uncle.

Use contact manager - these profiles are way out of his own family group as it shows in Geni today, but it might simply be because he is in the process of building this line.

The only way to find out is by contacting the manager Collin David Wargel before making more drastic actions like reporting him for violating your privacy.
He might be close family you did not know about and might be very helpful breaking down some of your brick-walls in your tree, so please contact him and give him a big welcome if it shows that he is closer related than you though, even if it is through a marriage.

Personally I don't know even the names on all my second cousins and definitely not on their spouses and their family, - not even on all my first cousins.

It makes no harm merging in these profiles, simply because you would get access to remove him as a manager of your close family profiles if they are not within the family group range of him self.

Private User

I have talked to him and he is related from my 6th great Uncles children and the Mitchell family Winton Marriage. However he has not been back on for a couple weeks. I seriously doubt he is within my immediate family group or I would know him.-lol I still don't want him being a manager of my fathers or my profile because I don't know him and we can manage our own profiles. I'm fine with him managing our family members that are passed on and common ancestors. So just talk to him and he can delete these extra profiles?

As I said: Just merge the profiles and remove him as a manager of the merged profiles where you feel uncomfortable to have him as a manager.

OK thank you, Private User

For profiles which are not within his family group, but within your own you will seen an [x] at his name on the Manager Options of the profile where clicking it will remove him.

If the profile is private he would loose access to it, but that is only on Geni, - practically making the profiles private for him does not matter when it comes to hiding your family details since he already had details enough to be able to add the profiles.

To get to "Manager Options" - click "Actions" at top right of profile, then click on "Manager Options" on the Drop Down Menu that gets you.

The only exception is when there is only one Manager. Then if that profile is within your family group, not the manager's, you will still see the [x], and can still click on it and will be told the manager was removed - but at least as of a few months ago, that actually did not happen - Geni would not leave the profile manager-less. (Not a problem in a case where you merged a profile you managed with the profile the outsider managed - but possibly for other profiles, and another reason folks may add duplicates).

Private User,
Jacob Nathan van Lier and Rachel Metz are now Nathan's parents.
