Could someone wake them up? Please?

Thank you so much! :-D

Here's another sleepwalker. :)

Maren Christoffersdatter

Thanks Jim! :) https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000030069628547
Any chance you could fix this too? I am not allowed to merge.

To Randi Kjærvik: Why did'nt you correct the profile Maren Christoffersdatter ? It is wery easy to do. Try to do it you self NeXT time you find profiles in the tree at Geni.com which is not correct. If you correct such profiles you will save other for a lot of work

Arnfred Nilsen

Actually, Arnfred Nilsen, I would do the work - if I could. But I am not authorized to open Zombies. Isn't that what this discussion thread is all about? Getting help to open profiles of people who are markrd as livimg, and thus impossible for regular users to access?

Please ellaborate how I could "save other for a lot of work"? Am I bothering you in some way?

Arnfred, Consider it a privilege to be in the position to help some one else.

Randi, Next time you have a problem contact Uncle Dries directly and together we will sort it out.

Private User, Louise was private (rather than a zombie). The manager agreed to change it to public.

Martin Andreas Karl (Dries) Potgieter, that is very kind of you. I greatly appreciate it.
I don't need special treatment though. :)

What I don't see is how me asking for help in this thread of almost 3500 posts, is a problem to Arnfred.

The problem with these four profiles involved, was that there was one mother (Maren Christoffersdatter) and three fathers (Oluf Olsen and Oluf Bentsen and a Zombie) of "Bent Olsen, tingmann i Grunnfjord".

I merged two of them, but as one father was a Zombie (Oluff Bentsen), I wasn't allowed to do any more work on those profiles.

Now I see, that the last father has changed sex and name, by Arnfred himself. I am just questioning his reaction towards me, who was just trying to solve the problem as best as I could.

"NeXT time" Arnfred says I should fix the problem myself, and save other people the work??.

Randi Charlotte Kjærvik

Please do not hesitate to ask for help in this discussion, we are always willing to help.

Thank you, Angus. It's nice to feel welcome to get help if needed.

Randi Charlotte Kjærvik,
You could not have fixed Maren Christoffersdatter by yourself. Only Curators or the profile manager(s), can switch zombies to deceased and private marked profiles to public.

This is one of the most used help discussions on Geni. We even have a 'zombie hunter' which sometimes helps to kill some of them :-)

Well done ! Continuing Your good work.

I believe that there are zombies in this tree:
https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000042533681049?highligh...

Alice Zoe Marie Knapp -- cleansed (mostly) that branch. (a parent conflict further up the "Trail" ... need more info to resolve)

Mary Sanford Drexler,
I went to his Adrian DeVries' wife, Ruth Lillian DeVries (Hoekstra) Ruth Lillian DeVries and she was already deceased and has been a Geni public profile since July 2014.

Curators: We've added a notification when the zombie killer task completes; has anyone noticed it, and is it working well for you?

Yes, it is working.
I also noticed two new filter options: merge requests and tree matches

Mike Stangel Judith "Judi" Elaine (McKee) Burns Erica Howton has private messaged me off geni and she said that Some profiles she had been asking about were now open Mike Did you see any grand big announcemennt of the new enahancment/aquistion ???? DId i miss soemthign All those profiles have been opened up for merging? The question is did we miss somthing I see nothing on the blog that says anything.. Maybe you got tired of people whining?

Private no announcement... I told the curators that they were free to make these long-deceased profiles public as they get merged into the big tree. If they're in stand-alone trees I'd rather keep them private for now.

oh. ok.. That explains it Maybe Judith was a little confused and thought it part of this whole Improvment thing you were rolling out...
I guess we both missed somthing...

Hester Sassoon
Hester GATTY died 1973

Elizabeth Schambach private sister is zombie match

Seth Hyatt, Sr. private brother is zombie match

James Pearce private brother is zombie match

Nicholas James Vetrovec -- the three you posted are now merged in; I'll leave it to you to clean things up.

cheers, Anne
