Leo VI 'The Wise', Byzantine Emperor - Name field usage?

please dont use slashes. original language in the name field, english version in the display, you can just mouse over the profile to see the display name.

the better soltion is to ask that the display name be shown in the merge box when merging

I'm anxious to do something that works well while we wait for Geni to have truly multilingual name fields. I find the biblical tree solution (with slashes) to work better for me than this one.

Opinions vary....

It's too bad so many of the name fields are locked by curators who seem to all follow different conventions. Maybe we can get that fixed.

I've noticed that...and I've noticed that you and I have crossed paths in our lines many times!! Hello Cousin!! Deb Allen Emerson

I've noticed that a surprising number of profiles have their Occupation field locked, and usually it is blank.

Alex what do mean by "Locked" ? Curator field locking is not currently available for the occupation field (and some others)

occupation field is non revisionable therefore you need to collaborate with the manager

Ah, it just shows up as a little padlock, i had been wondering why anyone would bother with locking empty fields :)

I assumed it was a relic of Gedcom uploads but that makes more sense.
