        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, firstly can I say this looks great as a concept &amp; will be incredibly useful, especially if profiles can somehow have their scores shown on trees and lists.</p><p>Here's a first chunk of feedback.</p><p>1) I really like the immediacy of this, edits to the profile are immediately reflected in the scoring. I shall be using this summary from now on to check the quality of my changes.</p><p>2) I really like the fact that you appear to ignore untagged sources in scoring.</p><p>A profile that is cluttered up with loads of untagged Person sources just makes the whole thing slower to work with, without adding verifiability in any usable way.</p><p>Maybe you could <em>reduce</em> the score where you found this sort of mess?</p><p>A good example is children's births - surely those sources should be limited to the <em>child</em>'s profile (assuming there is no way of tagging the child's birth source against the Parent/Child relationship).</p><p>3) However, surely tagged, indexed, accurate marriage sourcing should be very much taken into account in the scoring, given that couple relationships are so key to the overall integrity of the Tree?</p><p>GZPH-JK1 has no indexed Person sources (as the summary points out) but her Couple Relationship's marriage event does have 2 tagged sources (one of them indexed) which you do not take into account anywhere (you clearly know that they are there - see my next example).</p><p>Conversely, re LBBQ-SJV, the summary picks up the lack of a tagged Marriage source, but  indicates explicitly that this does not affect the scoring. (The relevant source is present against the Person, but obviously can't be tagged from there - another example of the clutter I mentioned above.)</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>This new "possible" feature Profile Quality Score may be of value to beginning genealogists, or those who are not familiar with FamilyTree at familysearch.org.   It could help them "flag" errors, omissions, etc.  </p><p>I have talked with several of my staff at our local FamilySearch Center.  One [expert level] thinks it is kind of useless, as she has been using FamilyTree since 2008, and can see, almost at a glance, if there are problems for a person on their 'person page'.  Another [a professional genealogist retired] thinks it can be a useful tool, mostly for beginners.  My sister in law [intermediate level] likes it.</p><p>I [expert level] agree, it may be useful for beginners.  Those of us who are experienced, [over 45 years doing family history, use FamilyTree daily, etc.] may not see it as a useful tool, because we know what to look for  "red flags" [indicates errors, wrong merges, wrong sources, etc. on FamilyTree]  I don't know that I would use it or pay much attention to it, and it may just confuse newcomers to the website.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>The 1895 New Jersey Census used wide age brackets, rather than ages: under 5, 5 to 20, 20 to 60, over 60.</p>

<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png"> <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=300, width=300/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png 300w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=600, width=600/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png 600w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=800, width=800/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png 800w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=1200, width=1200/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png 1200w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=1600, width=1600/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png 1600w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=2000, width=2000/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png 2000w, https://us.v-cdn.net/6032564/uploads/PB8W5GPOX85S/image.png" sizes="100vw" /></a></p>

<p>My grandfather (4th line) was born on 25 June 1893 and is appropriately classified as under age 5.</p>

<p>The Profile Score Summary throws an error message that the date of birth conclusion (exact) does not match the "date of +1890" (which I understand to mean after 1890).</p>

<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png"> <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=300, width=300/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png 300w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=600, width=600/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png 600w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=800, width=800/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png 800w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=1200, width=1200/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png 1200w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=1600, width=1600/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png 1600w, https://us.v-cdn.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80, format=auto, fit=scale-down, height=2000, width=2000/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png 2000w, https://us.v-cdn.net/6032564/uploads/UCW1Y46AX5XQ/image.png" sizes="100vw" /></a></p>

<p>The exact date of birth is documented multiple times on the profile, with birth, baptism, military, and Social Security records attached. A census is an inexact reference to age/year of birth at best. The broad ranges used in the 1895 NJ make it less exact than the norm. The wording of the inconsistency at least needs to be changed because it appears to indicate that the census is more reliable than records of the birth event.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>It would be helpful to have birth, marriage and death and all census records during the lifetime of the individual, with those sources, able to be locked down so they cannot be changed in the profile.  However, there should probably be a convention for adding additional information to that profile; particularly any information that would enhance with sourcing.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I have a relative born in Ireland in 1817. He is considered a high profile person, likely because there are 42 sources connected to him. However, most sources are links to his children and not to him personally. I do not know his actual birth place or date, marriage place and date, no record of his folks- yet his profile score is high. Not so much.......</p>]]>
