]]> Quality Scores in Fan Chart View https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/158469/quality-scores-in-fan-chart-view Sun, 03 Mar 2024 22:50:48 +0000 Social Groups Jennijaynelee 158469@/en/discussions I'd love to see an option for quality scores in the Fan Chart tree view. This would help me easily identify which persons need the most help.

That would help me to know which ones I need more information on.

This would allow me to hover over a person and then choose to work on those people with a low profile score.

Today there has been the only response to that thread, with immediate closure. I'm sorry, but I don't feel that's appropriate. If I had posted that information today, since the algorithm has been modified, the "that's out of scope" might have been warranted, but that's not the case.

Thank you.

For the quality indicator to appear on a page, all of the following conditions must be met:

  • User language set to English
  • Ancestor must be born between 1800 and 1920
  • Ancestor must be born in Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States.
  • Experiment enabled (using button below)

I'm running into a Catch-22 when working on profiles for persons who were born in Ontario, Canada before 1867. If British Colonial America is shown as the place of birth, the Profile Quality Score is absent.

If Canada is used as the place of birth, the following error is shown:

Alfred C Kelly L5JJ-65T https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L5JJ-65T and his siblings are examples of this issue.

We covered a slightly different Canadian placename issue in a previous post back in October: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/152878/the-place-is-the-same-but-the-algorithm-doesnt-recognize-it#latest That one has been greatly improved. Thank you.

Windows 10, Firefox 123.0 64-bit, both fully updated.

Thanks.

Somehow there also needs to be a way to indicate that there is some discussion that resolves the conflicting evidence.

I believe the algorithm for very old needs a re-think.

The first line I've discussed the issue.

The second line brings up an issue regarding spelling. The routine is pulling out the name wrong. It should show høyland, not hoyland, and the routine is not recognizing that Høyland and Høiland are the same name and used interchangeably in the sources for this person.

The third line is due to an indexing error:

I corrected the error:

But that third consistency problem did not go away:

no matter how many ways I used to force the page to refresh.

Does the routine only look at the original indexing and none of the corrections that might have been made to an entry?
