Chilean Zombies

Philip I don't know how "into" merging he is (or a savvy user), as there are duplicates of his entire family out there.
Unknown Profile Maybe that other manager knows how to get through to him.

Sharing a collaborator will NOT help you at all, regarding zombies (unless they are public), only Family Group members can touch those. You MIGHT be able to find some of those.

Shmuel, Thanks for the correction. I meant to write "if you would encourage him to kill his zombies".

Philip what relationship are you searching for to merge or collaborate with him on.
I am distantly connected to him maybe I could help with some info
Thanks,
Monica

Monica,
There are probably 100+ of his (mostly zombie) profiles that others have stacked onto the collaborative Chilean tree. I quit trying to merge with him a long time ago, and have undone a few attempts by others.

If he has ANY collaborators, they could complete some merges, if only you or someone else could get him to kill his zombies.

Philip

Sorry your having problems. Ok, just let me know if I can help.
Thanks,
Monica

Send your requests to me as I am able to merge Jorge`s trees.

Regards, Luis Echeverria

Luis,
I have PM'd you (Te envie mensaje privado).

The gentleman mentioned in the first post of this thread has departed Geni, and his managed profiles have been grabbed by others, including myself. However, the bulk of his profiles were multi-instantiated zombies, and not all of the new managers have corrected that.
If the reader is one who grabbed any of the profiles formerly managed by Jorge Alejandro Almanzor Gonzalez Moreno, please merge duplicates and make the zombies deceased.

Phillip,
If you can post links to those Chiliean zombies at http://www.geni.com/discussions/76010 a friendly curator Zombie-hunter will help lay them to rest.

Maria: Yes I'm a regular user of "Zombies please". My above post expressed the hope that those who also vacuumed up JAAGM's profiles would pay attention to their zombiness, and to the profusion of duplicates (JAAGM must have uploaded similar GEDCOMs three times), thereby spreading the labor out somewhat.

Thanks for the explanation, Phillip. If you don't get the response you need from those other managers, then you know you have other resources available to you. I don't know anyone else working in your area of the tree or I'd give them a friendly nudge.

Would it be possible to force someone who uploads a gedcome to merge duplicates, if the upload should be completed. I mean could Geni check simultaneously with the upload and stop when a duplicate came - wait until the uploader had merged or requested a merge- before going on to the next?

Michael, I'm not technical enough to answer that. Some of the other curators are. You could either find the "ask a curator" public discussion or you could start a new public discussion to get their opinions on your suggestion.

Michael,
Geni IS working on such a solution, BUT it is a rather complicated problem to solve. Especially so, as most GEDCOMs have very little information beyond names (often misspelled).

Great, that would solve a lot of merging in the future.
Merry X-mas and Happy New Year to all.
