ATTENTION Curators, please assist

Erica Howton Thank you!

Can we fix his father, Ambrose Clark of Longhill to show as my 6th GG? He is in cousinland.

A recent merge showed Data Conflicts and upon further investigation I felt sure an incorrect merge occurred so I started a discussion to draw attention to the profile managers. See: http://www.geni.com/discussions/150160
Could somebody please assist to undo this recent merge.

I think we also need a curator to MP he profiles and add a message to be careful not to merge these profiles again.

Christine Clark Tucker is Ambrose Clark of Longhill's 6th great granddaughter!

Where to go from here?

Angus Wood-Salomon, I'll see what I can find.

The problem on Magdalena Maria Nel is solve. Thanks for all the help

Data Conflicts

The resolve data conflicts presents a window where in the listed values only can be selected.

I have come across a number of cases where even some of the listed values needs corrections. This requires accessing the profile again and doing the corrections. If the values are not noted down earlier or not in our memory, it will not be possible to do the corrections.

Is it possible to have an option to correct the values in the data conflict window itself. This will be of great help when multiple tree branches are being merged.

I know this is a tall order and should not be accessible to all but limited to curators only.

I have come across this problem while merging 3 stand alone trees with world tree in the case of sindhu Kallakuri = https://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000000473138745

For reference I have not resolved the conflicts so that the problem can be seen by any one. Request not to resolve the issues at present.

https://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000000473399315 is another one which requires corrections all over

I've got a lot of information on the Chandlers of East Texas, and there's a few of them in the geni data base; here's the earliest:

Randon Thomas Chandler

the manager doesn't seem to be around anymore, as far as I can tell -- can we make the profiles accessible, so that I can add data and sources and more family members? They will hook into the world tree eventually.

Please make Helen Watt Germann (Paterson) public.

Done

Why don't you build the Chandler tree out and then we could merge the other one in...please note the other tree only has 19 profiles

Fair enough! I'll check in later on this, Angus Wood-Salomon -- I know they're coming into the East Texas cousins one way or another soon.

Is there any way one can look at both profiles when profiles have been merged? When the same first names appears multiple times in a tree it's extremely difficult to compare a pending merge.

Charmaine that only happens in the South African tree multiple times, due to our name giving system.
That is why I have been begging to use first names in 1st block.
Judi

Putting the name in the first name block won't solve the problem. We need to be able to compare the whole profile with the one that's been merged to accept a merge already done by somebody else.
South Africa's not the only country with the naming pattern your are referring to Private Argentina, India, Nigeria, Romania and Poland just to name a few follow a similar naming pattern.

Agree with Charmaine, for a couple of weeks, I did find tree matches that is not at all related. And it seems that some of these matches getting merge.

Private User It looks like we are working on the same line. The manager Earl Josserand has abandoned the tree but I was able to clean that part up down to where the trees intersect.

It might be but the most of the incorrect ones is because of that. Charmaine and Marie. But I think it is also because people merge on the tree instead of looking at both profiles.
Judi

Can y'all help with this merge:

http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000016371284864?from_flash=1&...

the other manager isn't around; it's a small tree, with some things that need to get fixed; if it can be made mergeable, I'll finish up the merges and fix the data.

thanks!

Ok try that

Whee!

Can someone please help. I have added these sources on a very small tree. Merged and requested the merge to be approved by a Nicky Lategan.
Still nothing. Tried again but wont work.
Husband is double.

curators arent allowed to merge in trees not connected to big tree, try to link it to big tree first

Jason Scott Wills Thank you I will try. But it shows no path yet. I will research more.

re: "curators arent allowed to merge in trees not connected to big tree" -
so the permissions referenced here: https://www.geni.com/discussions/142108?msg=1000812
were a one-time thing, and permissions have reverted to how they were before that, or ???

Also - as long as looking at that - is anyone who finds that their separate Tree was merged and they do not want it merged -- can they actually successfully ask to have it unmerged - and is the suggestion Erica makes here to do so the correct - and only - way to do so? http://www.geni.com/discussions/145235?msg=1001384 - or would appealing here to Curators to undo the merge also work?

Once merged, a subsidiary tree stays "connected" to the Big Tree, even after it has been disconnected again. That flag, once set, cannot be unset.

Maven is correct. It's a simple flag in the software: tree is connected to big tree, yes / no. This applies even if the message is: no path found between A and B.
