Can someone help me with this Li Longji (Emperor Xuanzong) + Lady Yang (Empress Yuanxian) → Li Heng

Shaun2233

I found an issue with楊元獻皇后 my 39th great-grandmother, I tried updating her profile with correct information from Chinese websites, and correcting the issue of Li Longji (Emperor Xuanzong) + Lady Yang (Empress Yuanxian) → Li Heng (Emperor Suzong) and 楊玉環 not being the birth mother. When I updated Lady Yang (Empress Yuanxian) with the proper historical information, it broke the connection to Li Longji (Emperor Xuanzong) and I also found duplicates. I only used information from trusted historical Chinese websites. I want to correct the issues with the correct information, but I cannot figure out why the connection does not update when I have everything correct from parents to child.

@Shaun2233 please provide the URLs/profile ids of the people concerned, that will make it easier for this to be looked at. Thanks.

It's always possible for conflicting relationships to be in place on a profile - you can remove a provably incorrect relationship by clicking the pencil icon against it on the Details tab - be sure to provide a suitable reason statement, and to ensure that the correct relationships are verified by appropriate attached sources.

Re sources more generally. There don't seem to be many sources attached to any of these profiles, and those there are seem mostly to be IGI entries with no underlying sources. With anything so far back, proper academic research sources would surely be preferable - I guess this is the sort of thing you have found?

I'd personally be tidying up the Sources tabs first and then editing the profiles and relationships to correspond with the good sources.

Given this is a collaborative exercise, talking to the other contributors who've had a go at these profiles and relationships would be good too (click on their usernames in the Change Log, though they aren't obliged to respond). A couple of the profiles do already have information on their Collaboration tabs, which may help also.

If this doesn't help (which wouldn't surprise me, especially given I have no Chinese) please do post again.

Thanks, your answer helps a lot. I am doing more research to see if I can figure out the errors and correct them.
