I noticed that the Help at the bottom of the page goes to a page that is language independent. It is fine for those that can read English but for others it does not help much.
So I would like some support for this feature request: http://help.geni.com/entries/52251560-Language-specific-start-page-...

If it is at all possible to translate the help page I offer to translate this.

Oops. This person was set as deceased. I set him living and the profile went private. He should have a public page as a notable person.

I made it a Master Profile so it will be Public again

Geni's message to "mark this profile deceased" was done. However the profile is private, without the blue ball indicating private.

Not sure what is happening.

Pam Karp,

You still have to make the profile public from the tree view.

Kevin

Private User,

All done and merged.

Kevin, now i understand the problem, I' m not on PC to do so from tree view.

Making it public from edit profile didn't work.

Pam,

Tree view is better to use as you can see other parts of the tree that may need to be made public as well.

Kevin

Kevin

Thank you for making Jette public !

Pam

As I was looking for the name Jette Metzgar I know exactly it is not the right name and I work on it.

Jeanne d'Arc, La Pucelle d'Orléans

change name in the title (jeanne d'Arc) ou/or (jeanne d'Arc la pucelle) cest un indigne insulte que dajouter un terme anglais a ce profile
let french name french ..do not englished this profile

Martin RhNegativ look again the proper name is Jeanne Sybille d'Arc
The display name is Saint Joan of Arc

In English speaking countries we all know her as Saint Joan of Arc

I read Martin's comment as suggesting that her Display Name should also be French -- that it is o.k. to have English "also known as" names, but the official name should be as she was known.

This is an on-going controversy about non-English famous profiles that are also well-known in English.

Such controversies are somewhat simpler since searches now will find "Joan of Arc" (since it is in the 'a.k.a.' field) -- but what name should be displayed? Both forms? Curator choice? (A technical alternative solution has been proposed, but it has not been implemented at this time.)

Martin RhNegativ

Dan Cornett

As a compromise can we show both names in the Display name i.e
Jeanne Sybille d'Arc / Saint Joan of Arc

Martin would that be ok?

on geni there is allways a controversy seems to be the norm and not the exception sadly.. and i don't mean that in a negatative way as some of these controversies are good.. LOl. I have no problem with honoring martin's request.

in fact until the whole controversy with king richard and where he was burried and all I didn't really understand complex dna.. so you do learn stuff from things like that

As the curator for Jeanne d'Arc I "had" had it set to the French version, there is no particular difficulty for English readers on French names. I do not like slashes in names if they can be avoided, they make it harder to read.

I am reverting to what I had set originally.

Thanks Martin for bringing it up.

NB I can't find support for a middle or alternate name of "Sybille" so I've removed it from name fields. If there's a citation for it, can be added to the "overview."

respect the soul if not the profile

elle est Jeanne d'Arc she free the french from english she fight~!!!!!!

not english plz respect that woman that die by force in a fire ,some decide to kill her not on a battle ground war but keep in a jail

michael for this one you probaly understand my claim and thanks / she never spoke a word of english she fight the english common dont put englished name on this profile...

some profile need to be acurate 100% not translate

alot of contreversy about that woman she been rape in jail?
who care now,,

i am sorry .i was in a very bad mood about this profile of jeanne, younger i learn her story .life of woman at those time was miserable ,,she apart of woman of her time,,,
martin

Martin it was a simple error easily corrected. I read the same stories as a child (in English translation). :)

I added images to her parents but there's no biography for them developed if anyone wants to contribute. I believe the tree is correct - at least it was a couple of years ago when I last looked at it.

like playing whack a mole at the county fair isn't it Private User just when you think you've got em all another bunch more pops up.. I'll sharpen my zombie killing skills and get on it.

They are all done.

looks like some one beat me in round one..
