I've been off on some projects elsewhere in Family Tree but have hit a nice place to pause on them so have decided to start with myself and go through my seven generation fan chart and clean up all the data quality flags on everyone on that chart and their children as well as adding any new hints and cleaning up any flotsam and jetsam that has appeared on their profiles since last I looked at them. I suspect I'll have a few things to post here.

The first one is, is that the very first person I started on, my paternal grandfather, had about a dozen flags. One was a "no index sources tagged to marriage" which I fixed. Several were residences that needed tags so I tagged them. A few dismissed just fine. One refused to dismiss initially but did when I tried five minutes later. Two refuse to dismiss.

Why?

Can we have a brief explanation of what that something is that goes wrong, how long to expect it to be a problem, and how long we should expect to need to wait until trying again? (Not in the error notice. That would be asking too much. But rather here in this discussion.)

It's easier to be patient when there is a known reason for needing to be.

On a possibly related matter, there were four custom sources that I created years ago that I no longer need on his record. Three deleted just fine. One gives the same error message when I try to delete it. Would this be the same or a different problem?
