Your contributions [29 December 2017]

I noticed your queries under "Support" and took an extra interest when you introduced Pottersburg in Middlesex County, Ontario. This led to examining the list of people you are contributing. The aim of WeRelate is to back up family trees with facts and sources of those facts, not just to add as many people as we can. So I was surprised to see that you did not list any places where the Labatt family lived and that your only source was a family history on a website.

As a Canadian ('though I have lived in the UK for more than 50 years), I am probably more familiar with the name of Labatt than contributors from south of the border. It would be very helpful to add more information about each of the family groups: census information and burial places could be found online, possibly for free. Land purchases would be registered at Ontario Archives. Some of the brewery owners are bound to have biographies in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. You have information from the online biography on the travels of John Kinder Labatt. These deserve to be added to his WeRelate page.

You may be planning to add this type of information in the near future. I sincerely hope so. Once it can be found in WR, you will have added a lot of interesting pages.

One of my great-great grandfathers, Person:Robert Arnold (20), was a failed Ontario brewer. Around 1860 he bought a brewery in Aurora. For the next ten years or so, until his death, he and some of his sons tried to make a decent brew without success. Poor man didn't understand that a brewery should never be located downstream of a tannery. Generations in between ggf and myself told me that the lack of success was due to the sons drinking all the beer, but the fact of the tannery came from a history of Aurora that I read online. There is the story of an unsuccessful brewing family. See what you can do to provide us with the story of a very successful one.

George Johnston (23) [20 August 2021]

The two marriages ought to be merged. Christian Forbes is on one; Christian Forbes Johnston is on the other. Does Christian F Johnston have parents given?

Sorry to be so vague. I was just checking messages before closing down. It is 9:45pm here.

/cheers, --Goldenoldie 20:44, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

I have no interest in Person:George Johnston (23). I have no idea what changes you are suggesting here. --fbax.ca 15:54, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Changes of Fri, Jul 9 at 5:08 PM to Wilbert H. "Red" Rosenthal [10 July 2021]

Emigration[2] 8 May 1922 - This date is an Alt. Birth, not Emigration. Please change it back to the way it was because there is no emigration information in his record.--Sharonlemley51 14:19, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the typing error; I see you already fixed it. I was changing events for persons with "Other - Alt. Birth" to simply "Alt. Birth" to help clean up this Events_out_of_order report. --fbax.ca 14:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Living person [20 August 2021]

Hi

just a heads up that I plan to delete the page Person:Hermina de Rooij (1) as she is considered to be living according to WeRelate policy. If you can find a death date, please enter it - I couldn't find one in a brief online search. Thanks--DataAnalyst 12:56, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


Isolated pages without dates [20 August 2021]

Hi

I found 6 pages you created where there is no information other than the name. These pages serve no purpose on WeRelate, as there isn't enough information to determine who they are, where they lived or when. Also, they could be living. If want to keep the pages, please add more information. Otherwise, you can just delete them (or I can, in a couple of weeks). Thanks--DataAnalyst 14:36, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Person:Catharina Boschaart (1) - probably created in error; still checking
Person:Cornelis Gans (2) - deleted duplicate
Person:Cornelske Jans (3)- deleted duplicate
Person:Edith Gordon (7) - connected to family
Person:Goosen Arkel (1) - deleted duplicate
Person:Joanna Lodewijckx (1) - connected to family


Doris Witter d 18 Mar 2017 [27 October 2021]

Greetings Frank I see that you added Stoney Creek ON as the place of death for Doris Geraldine Witter. Doris actually passed away in Hamilton ON at Idlewyld Manor on Sanitarium Road. She had no connection with Stoney Creek ON(other than the fact that she was cremated at Canadian Cremation Services which is located in Stoney Creek). Her obit published in the Hamilton Spectator in 2017 shows that she died in Hamilton ON.

cheers Rob Weil--Rob Weil 20:45, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Obituary in Hamilton Spectator does not mention place where death occurred; changed from Stoney Creek to Hamilton anyway. Clipping is now attached. --fbax.ca

Pages for potentially living people [3 September 2023]

Hi

We're trying to ensure that WeRelate doesn't have any pages for living people, so that we can archive the data at the Internet Archive. The pages below are for people who are most likely deceased, but we can't be sure. Could you please add dates for them so that we can be sure they are deceased. I'd like to get these pages completed by the end of Sep 2023 if possible. If you are unable to tackle this task by then, please let me know, and I will find whatever dates I can. Thanks for your help.--DataAnalyst 12:38, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Toronto [9 September 2023]

In looking at your very current alterations to Ontario, Canada, I looked down the list of Ontario places and noted that Toronto is missing. Metropolitan Toronto as it now exists was formed in 1971. It is not a part of York Region. Some mention of the capital city of Ontario ought to be part of the description of Ontario.

Newbies may be wondering what happened to Toronto. As a native now living in the UK, I am sure it's still in Ontario.

Regards, --Goldenoldie 07:41, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

I fixed a broken link in Ontario, Canada; I did not change anything about Toronto.—fbax.ca 12:09, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
There is still a place page for Toronto, in the county of York, which it appears was accurate in 1900. There isn't a place page for Metropolitan Toronto, which was formed in 1953, or for the City of Toronto which replaced it in 1998 (according to Wikipedia). It doesn't look like that's been a problem.--DataAnalyst 14:34, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

This took me an hour or two to put together but I saved my instructions so can do it faster next time. I don't think I dare do it for my own pages because I watch so many I'd be worried the query would take too long to run - but for you it was fine.

Take care.--DataAnalyst 23:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added WeRelate:Suggestions/List_Persons/Families for long term solution; then realised it's duplicate of WeRelate:Suggestions/List_of_families; I don't know how to merge these. --fbax.ca 13:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
You're welcome. Don't worry about the suggestion - I'll sort it out when I get around to planning more enhancements. I'm afraid that will likely be many months from now.--DataAnalyst 14:59, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
