"No guarantee that I will ... even clean it up" [2 May 2012]

The rest of your email is fine, those are reasonable statements, the above is not. This database is a shared set of pages for the use of all, not just to suit your purposes and should be cleaned up to match community standards. Particular examples are:

• no number of generation or reference number that is unique to you, i.e., all the prefix titles you are entering.
• the unnamed children should have the surname in the page title and no parenthetical information, i.e., Person:Son Hyde (5) instead of Person:Son (5). When you create the page, make sure you include the surname so this will happen. These pages should be renamed. No parenthetical information should go in the name fields.
• no living persons should be entered, i.e., Person:K Hyde (1) and Person:P Hyde (1). These should be deleted.
• sources are desirable since others have no idea what to believe unless they know what the information is based on.
