Quality per separate element: e.g. Birth, Death
@FrankLittle has posted:
I notice that separate entries, e.g. Death, have their own quality level displayed top left after the category title. I just added a transcription of a digital extract from the civil Register of Deaths (from GRO England and Wales) which gives the date and place of death (as well as other information).
The current quality score is 'Medium'.
I'm wondering what it would take to make the quality 'High'. (Theoretically, the GRO entry could be inaccurate, since it is itself a copy of the local register, but the test does not have access to the actual data, I think.)
Similar sources are attached to the Birth for the same person. It has a score of 'High'
see: ID 9N41-Z67

@FrankLittle thank you for the feedback. A ticket has been created to look into this issue :)

Thanks fo looking into this. Perhaps a different sibling would be more useful, since I edited the one mentioned before. Look for example at ID: 9N41-Z6W.
By the way, could we have the IDs live linked here, as in the chats? It would save some extra keyboard tapping.

@FrankLittle I think the example you gave will work. But thank you for the second one, just in case. As for PID links, you can certainly add a link to the number. But I will ask about the possibility of grabbing the link as well as the number when doing a copy and paste. Good thought.

Thanks for that.
If you look at the Birth entry for ID: 9MRB-GCM (Lucy Maud Hildrith/Hildreth) it has a High Quality designation. There are three sources, but these census sources do not give a birth date (they do give the age (2, 12, 22, respectively) hence the year (approximated), and the place (Darlington, County Durham).
A birth date (21 August 1878) is given, but it is not sourced.
Strictly speaking, the entry as it stands should not be given a 'high' qualification, since the date is not supported by evidence. Perhaps 'medium' would be better?
The birth dates are probably from the 1939 Register (dates but no place of birth), or from an extract from the civil Register of Births (either directly from Darlington Register Office or from GRO England and Wales. Or perhaps from other sources (a military source might help—though in this particular case it only provides the date of the marriage for Lucy Maud to her husband John Davison Adamson).
A reference to the GRO online index (which also usually will give the mother's maiden surname) would be helpful, since an extract can be ordered from there.
Reference to any source with a birth date would increase the score imho, but without it I don't believe it's helpful to qualify the Birth entry as 'high'.

@FrankLittle Thank you for this latest example. You are correct. The tagged sources do not supply the birth date. Which brings the high rating into question. There is a better source that is not tagged that would qualify this. We will be looking at this :)

"By the way, could we have the IDs live linked here, as in the chats? It would save some extra keyboard tapping."
Just to note, if instead of copying the ID number and pasting it you copy the URL, when you paste the URL you will get a live link. Sometimes you do have to choose the right formatting for that work work properly: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/9MRB-GCM

"There is a better source that is not tagged that would qualify this. We will be looking at this :) "
I'm interested how that will work in future. It means looking "inside" the source to determine what it is saying. Where images are concerned, it raises a question about indexed transcriptions with inaccuracies (for instance, census details). Currently, I see I can't edit them or post a note on my reading of the image, although I can dismiss warnings with an explanation.

@FrankLittle Have you noticed that we can now see exactly what is effecting the quality score of individual items?

Am only just back after three weeks away and will review this soon. It does seem very helpful to have more data. Thanks for pointing it out. Frank
