Data Quality Improvement

Share

There are many ways users can help improve WeRelate's data quality apart from improving their own trees. This page features something that administrators need help with currently, the tasks will change with time so check back regularly to see if something grabs your interest.

Permanent Opportunities

Wanted pages lists broken (red) links in the order of most commonly occurring.

Category:Sources Needed lists pages where someone has identified that sources are missing. Citation needed lists pages where a particular fact has been noted as needing a citation. Ideally such a list would be automatically produced, but for now this is what we have.

WeRelate:Data Quality Tasks/Events out of order lists a subset of pages where there is a fact/event before the birth year. This is a prototype - if there is sufficient interest, this list might get automated. Note: If anyone wants a list of the pages where they were the last contributor (even if only indirectly through a propagated change), please let me know on my Talk page--DataAnalyst 23:14, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Currently Featured Task

23 Apr 2021: Sort out a possibly conflated 16th century family.

Is this marriage the conflation of 2 actual marriages, or is it just bad data? Anyone willing to take a crack at it?

This page appears to be the conflation of 2 14th century people. Anyone willing to sort it out?

Tasks that Require Significant Research

22 May 2017: Old GEDCOM Davisfam2000 has been run through a desktop genealogy program editor to find errors (such as person born when mother was 1 year old) and potential errors (such as person born before parents were married). The list of errors and potential errors is below. Review and see if you can fix any of these problems. (NOTE: Ignore the number after each name - it is just the number assigned to the person by the desktop software.)

1 Sep 2017: The tree created by Genealogist84 requires sources for most of its 47,000+ persons. Birth and death info is also often lacking. Pick a century, find a page that has few watchers, and start researching.--DataAnalyst 16:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Tasks that Require a Moderate Amount of Research

25 May 2016: Visit Category:Sources Needed or Category:Source citations needed or Category:Date with no source to see pages that need sources; they currently have links to several hundred. Pick a family or person at random, or one where you have experience, and then see if you can find any primary or secondary sources to add to the page. You may get lucky and find a source for several family members. If you add sources, you can also remove the "sources needed" template from the page. If you find a possible source but are uncertain, add your research to the talk page of the Person or Family for others to see what you found; it may help them to confirm the data they have.
30 May 2016: James Davies and Jane Richards, this family and their descendants to 2001 are a mess, names all caps, lots of facts in the places fields, incomplete places and no sources for most of it. I have tidied their son John and added lots of facts and sources and will add the census details to his family page. They are mostly English and Welsh pages.
4 Jun 2016: Find some interesting pages to add to Featured Page nominations not strictly data improvement but it does give people an idea of what pages can look like. Any pages can be added, not just people, and you can nominate a page you have worked on.
14 Oct 2016: For anyone who is looking to add sources, the tree created by Inator needs a lot of work. It appears to be cobbled together from a number of other trees and most of the sources I have seen so far are WorldConnect and the like. I believe that this tree is largely US-centric and sources are not that hard to find (FamilySearch, Ancestry.com for census records). Inator has been inactive for 8 years, so there is no need to enter the Change Summary unless someone else is also watching a page. I am currently working on Living pages (and related families).--DataAnalyst 15:29, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
12 Nov 2016: Select one of the following sources (or your favorite "love-to-hate-it" source) and replace it with better sources on the pages that use it. See Usage Tips on each source page for why it is not the best source to rely on or to cite.
Ancestry.com - OneWorldTree - a failed automated attempt to do what WeRelate recognizes needs human intelligence.
Torrey, Clarence Almon. New England Marriages Prior to 1700 - should be used as a bibliography rather than a source
International Genealogical Index - mixed reliability
Ancestral File - mixed reliability
Pedigree Resource File - mixed reliability
RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project - mixed reliability, use as a bibliography where possible
Darrellwarner/11-24-03 Hughey-Jacob.FTW - this is a MySource with no further information (there are plenty like this - this one has about 35 links)
Note: This task is classified as requiring a Moderate amount of research because it is assumed that facts are available. However, it is recognized that some situations will require a significant amount of research.
24 Dec 2016 Pick one of the following primary sources (or your favorite source) and see if you can find matching pages in WeRelate that do not cite it. Take care to ensure you have found the correct page (for example, matching on parents' names and/or checking other sources). Enhance the pages accordingly, including citing the source if there is not an equivalent alternative. Consider adding children to existing families based on this source.

This task is assumed to require moderate to significant research (to ensure you are updating the correct individual).
18 Oct 2018: User Julescook06 loaded many pages where the year 2008 was obviously the default for a missing year, resulting in many pages where people appear to have been born and/or died in 2008 when that was not true. Search for people born or deceased in 2008, check for Julescook06 watching the page, and find the correct year.
Note: Many of these records are from England.--DataAnalyst 23:29, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
This task is assumed to require moderate research. Some records may be hard to find outside of other genealogy websites (such as Ancestry.com Public Member Trees, familysearch family tree, WikiTree, etc.).

Tasks that Require Minimal (or no) Research

5 Sep 2016: Wanted pages lists broken (red) links in the order of most commonly occurring. In some cases, a page could be created to resolve the broken links, but in many cases, the page with the link should be cleaned up so that the text is no longer treated as a link. For example, 896 pages have a place of Farmer, when this is clearly an occupation that should be moved from the Place field to the Description field. Many times examination of the page reveals additional cases of Place field data that should be moved to the Description field as well, thereby further helping to reduce the Wanted pages list. Clean up of these pages would make WeRelate a more inviting place to visit.
14 Oct 2016: A tree submitted by user OliviaRevits looks like it has been subject to a number of merges and consequently has lots of alternate facts. In many cases, there are exact dates with a source and approx. years with no source. There is no value in keeping the alternate facts with approx. years, and it makes the pages difficult to read. This tree is quite small (206 pages). She submitted 3 other trees which can be found on the Old GEDCOMs page, but I have not ascertained if they have the same issue.
Also, many of the pages in this tree have her WeRelate signature (see this example). There does not seem to be much point in that and maybe it should be removed.
30 Dec 2016 The second marriage of Person:Jean Belliveau (1), to Marie-Cecile Melanson, is in WeRelate twice, as is one of their children. Records need to be merged for one or more generations. If inclined, you can also improve the aesthetics of the pages by consolidating facts and moving source information from the narrative to sources.--DataAnalyst 20:24, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
I have completed the duplicate merging, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the aesthetics of these and related pages. Improving the aesthetics can range from no research (consolidate two identical facts) to moderate/significant research (select between alternate facts).--DataAnalyst 15:53, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
