Examples of edits that will win points: census data linked to an online source; mention of the subject in a biography, history book or genealogy book; death certificate; birth certificate; mention in a newspaper article; burial information with photos of a headstone; finding and linking to subject's Wikipedia page. Edits that correct an error or dispute an earlier source may also receive a point at the discretion of the judges.
