The residences after death are what will be affecting the quality score. The record that generates that residence "from 2 February 1991 to 1 January 2004" is from an index of various sources (Telephone directories, property tax assessments, credit applications, and other records available to the public) which makes it hard to pin down the veracity of the match Orr where exactly the data originated from.
Note that according to FS "Records in this collection contain data which has not been verified with other sources. Date ranges are not necessarily correct, and personal information about one person may have been combined with that of another. Please exercise caution when using information found in these records."
As the record is for an "E Marchini" it may be that it's not, in fact, a match for P49F-299 OR the dates are incorrect OR it's from a directory that was released after his death and his details weren't updated OR… the list goes on.
If, based on the information the record contains, you are confident it is a match despite the date conflict, you could try removing those residences dated after his death from the events section of the profile, and leave a note as to why you made that choice in the collaboration tab for others to see. That should clear up the Quality Score.

"United States, Public Records, 1970-2009" is a database that has a lot of very poor junk data.
As the data quality checker is pointing out, those cannot possibly be correct residences for Edward. You should definitely follow the advise of the DQC and delete them.
Whether the source for E is a source for Edward or not will depend on the likelihood that two E. Marchini's were born on the same day.

He also has two residences "from 2 February 1991 to 1 January 2004", and several events with no date at all.

Thank you for your help. When I removed the last source, nothing changed. However, when I removed it from the residence list, it changed to high. Good to know.

My low score happened because an obituary naming the person as the late Mrs. R A Yepst (Lonetta 9H73-ZLN) from Springfield, IL, a sister of the deceased C A Miller— The argument being death before residence.

@RitterNW Yes, the routine is correctly pointing out that you can’t live somewhere after you die. Unfortunately obituary indexes when opened in the source linker often create a residence with the date of obituary and either where the obituary was published or the person’s last residence. The options are:
- Don’t pull the obituary “residence” over in the source linker.
- Change the date from the date of the obituary to the date of death.
- Delete the residence event but use the information in it to create a custom obituary event.
The routine is working correctly. It’s the index and the source linker the have problems
