Abraham I. Hobbs - Why is the image of two flags stating English American immigrant not an approved image

Someone keeps taking it off of image I put in profiles

To be honest, many of us prefer an image that is more personal and relevant to the profile than a generic flag. I personally am quite annoyed when my ancestors all get British flags as their image. But what I usually do is try to find a better, more relevant image.

People's reactions to images are quite subjective and differ greatly from person to person. It would be nice if you could see the image that appeals to you and others could see the image that appeals to them :)

I quit the fight. I stopped using Flags and maps. I am very good at images and will to help anyone that wants help. I will only put images on my own profiles. I would like to know how someone can remove the image and not show up in "Recently Viewed By" I was adding unknown, wife of Husband, relationships. I deleted them today.

Is this a "Proper Image" for Isabel of Cambridge, They were all removed from profiles I put them in.http://www.geni.com/photo/view/6000000001544554561?album_type=photo... .

I love maps. :(

Bill I think you're asking about newsfeed? Would show as "update profile." In the revisions tab of the profile the event shows as "photo ID."

Here is the link William the (in.) in front of http is causing the page not to load

Bill I have no problem with the image. If I had a better one (in my opinion - more specific as Hatte mentioned) I would add it to the profile, leaving the other images (unless they're just wrong), and rotate the gallery, selecting a "default" but not removing.

So for instance I will remove English flags if the profile was in fact born in the American colonies, because it's misleading. But your icon of English American ancestry would be good. BUT ... If I found a map of the property, that would be better, as it provides more information about the profile.

Actually looking at the closeup I like this image even more. You've labeled it; you've given proper attribution under the description field. And its a good reproduction, well done.

Unfortunately I can't tell what profiles it's been detagged from. If any were curated profiles you could ask that curator?

Here is another example of whathas happened. I just found a merge,

Christina Grossnickle (Studebaker) and

Unknown Profile

I added it June 13, 2013, before I knew where to put the credits and Location. I just fixed it and added more.

On Christina Grossnickle I just put the Flag in as that is a place holder until the merge was compleate, I think it is important also. Is there a way to put in maps and not have them as profile pictures. I can tell you where a county in England is and recognize the area, just by me making the maps. If it was availible to me in Highschool my life would have been much different. I saw no connection to History and now I have a difficult time stopping the search.

As far as house of House of Plantagenet Armorial of Plantagenet, I put it on thirty plus true House of Plantagenet, now they are all gone.

"Is there a way to put in maps ..."

Add as many images as are relevant to the profile! Then select "make this default" for the one that "best represents" the person -- a portrait if one can be found. The rest of the images (Map, tombstone, house, church, etc) "stay" on the gallery. In fact, associate them with timeline events! I have an image of my grandfather's naturalization papers associated with the date signed. We can see it from the media tab or from timeline, but the "default" or "main" image is a photo.

As to losing the image from other profiles, it is possible there was a bug that de tagged from multiple profiles; or that another manager removed from profiles. The "revisions" tab doesn't reveal all events in the revisions logs; it requires coding to make it a story we can read coherently.

When I look at "revisions" I see "photo ID". What do you see?

I am asking can you have a image in Media that does not show as the profile picture. If i add a image it is the profile unless there is soemthing else there. Occasonaly I will find images that are not visable and make set them as profile.

You can upload the image as a document instead (or in addition). I do that a lot - the image is then citable for sourced facts.

And if you have multiple images on a profile you select which one "shows." The others can then be seen on the media tab. So a map -- you may not want it as the main image, but as one available to study from the media tab. That's what I'm trying to say ...

I could link to the page. I will just work on what I know for now

I often use Yad vaShem testimonies about those murdered in the Holocaust, if that is all I have.

I agree with everything Erica said. I'm fine with maps myself William Owen "Bill" Irwin - On a Break studying for a new Job.. And your Plantagenet image sits well with me too.

I think what is aggravating is the Union Jack on an every one of somebody's ancestors who originated in England AND their descendants. That's misleading and overly generic.

I know some hate the Died Young image that I borrowed from Fay Baldwin. As I said, it's a subjective matter.

One thing I do is search Google Books and then Google Images for out of copyright images of manor houses or towns that people were associated with.

Or gravestones. Or monuments put up to remember them.

Heres one for you Irwin, I added the text and the frame in one and just text in another. I also stops pepole from adding children to them.

I got this from Bonshaw website
