Geni consistency & plausibility checker

Private User
Yeah, I have the jump to the top issue also but for small families it's not to bad
Now that the consistency checker is on Firefox' I use it and it is great. I didn't think to check SC defaults until I got burial dates after death dates, at least it does not show burial before death :-)

The ones I love to find are the ones who died in a cemetery, very convenient, saves time and money. Dig a hole and throw them in.

Jeff,

may be you can find something if you search google for something like: firefox jumps to top of page
It seems more people are having problems with Firefox

I found this:
If have added javascript in your customizer. Just make sure to add e.preventDefault(); so that it will prevent any other actions after doing that whatever actions you have in your code.

Got it again

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: moz-extension://c80532df-cde9-…53-8041-d3b4b5c0c551/jquery.js:2

This time on FaG. https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=144084111

It starts to load then chokes on the siblings.

Jeff, this is a wonderful addition :-)

v4.2.3 released - Updates to the consistency checker.

* Added baptism < birth warning
* Added additional date consistency checks: month > 12, day > 31.
* Added check when location is missing a country (defaulted to off)

Note: Firefox and Opera have been submitted but the approval process for updates is longer than Chrome.

I love the consistency checker, but perhaps it could behave differently about the birth surname for men. It comments if a man's birth surname is the same as his lastname. For example, have a look at
Private
with respect to her father.
Is this the behaviour that you want?

Clan: You may see some "unexpected" consistency check messages when there is a pending parent conflict pending resolution. I don't currently see any for Meri's father.

On Firefox I get a warning (death date after burial) when death and burial date are the same but death has circa checked and burial date not.

Job, can you provide a link to the profile? The checker ignores circa and considers whatever it is as an exact date.

Beatrix Theunisdr Ruychrock van de Werve
This is with Firefox and version 4.2.3

Sorry my mistake, it is (now) for a different profile: https://www.geni.com/profile/edit_basics/6000000023897174585.
It could be an issue with data conflicts (there was a data conflict on Beatrix Theunisdr Ruychrock van de Werve) and what I remember the message was about the profile itself (but I could be mistaken, it is already late here, so I'm getting tired)

Job, that looks like an accurate error to me. He died in 1665 but was buried 10 years earlier, in 1655.

Jeff,

Yes, that profile has that error.
I thought I saw that error for Beatrix Theunisdr Ruychrock van de Werve as well (before solving some data errors), but I probably made a mistake.

Maybe you could block this since we don't want to mess with the HIDDEN profiles.

HIDDEN contains incorrect use of uppercase/lowercase in her name.[fix case]

Also NN for unknown has the same issue

NN contains incorrect use of uppercase/lowercase in her name.[fix case]

Maybe a [Fix All] for when there is a large number of corrections to be made?

Not sure if you have mentioned this yet. Consider identifying cases where month is greater than 12 and offer a fix to transpose the day and month. For example: 14/3/1860 > 3/14/1860.

NN shouldn't flag (I had already set to exclude that) and it should already be giving an error if the month is greater than 12 or if the day is greater than 31 (no quick fix yet though).

Could we have inappropriate "banned" titles such as Mr. and Mrs from both the suffix and prefix fields flagged and if possible the ability to remove/fix them? Be most useful - just about to remove such from an abandoned tree merged into one where I have worked.

In the Netherlands the titel 'mr.' is official for academical skilled jurists, so please do not remove it.

Mr is a world wide thing for acadamia

Jeff, I really like this. However, I noticed that Data Conflicts are not showing on mine, yet they are showing on Eldon's. Is there a toggle for that that I've missed?

Pam: Yes. Check the SmartCopy panel "Configuration" options (there are 3 'tabs').

Jeff

I too think this is a great tool.

Could I suggest checking for inconsistent use of the Tilte field as well as the AKA/alias field.

Notwithanding the current rules for the Title field a lot of profiles - particularly those entrered seveal years ago - used the prefix field to carry data that should now belong in the Title field. Also many older AKA fields follow a different format to the current convetion of delimiting with a simple (comma).
Some users (me included) clearly use the AKA and Last Residence fields as a temorary 'memo' field to parse out date and placename copy/paste then forget to clear the temporary data afterwards.

As the use of Mr for academia (commonly used to identify Consultant surgeons in the UK) seems to be regionally influenced, pehaps that is a selection that could be dependent on personal configuration?

Is this example of no county caused by locked fiels?

Rhis profile reported birthplace without country until I changed England to England, UK Jane More.

Although the United Kingdom, as a sovereign state, is a country, England, Scotland, Wales and, to a lesser degree, Northern Ireland, are also regarded as countries, though they are not sovereign states.Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have devolved self-government.. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom.

I'n not too fussed if I have to add ',UK. but you may have a better idea but don't spend too much time on it because Brexit could well lead to (at least )Scotland becoming independent again!

Will Chapman (Vol. Curator)
I always replace UK or United Kingdom with England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It would be great if Geni had a field for Kingdoms or Empires.

... while many other leave the state & fields (for more 'modern' profiles) as the Google API populates them.

Ideally, the birth, "baptism", and death locations reflect something close to the names as known at that time (with possibly a consistent, but 'made up' country, such as "Colonial America" when there really wasn't a country at that time) ... and then the field locked.

One reason I don't like to leave the Country field empty is because then one can more easily use the "Ancestor / Descendant Graph" tools to quickly find profiles which are "missing" location entries or profiles which might be "mis-placed" (e.g. where siblings are born in wildly different countries or states). It can also be nice to see possible siblings-'emmigrated' patterns and thus have a date-range to look for ship manifests, etc.

https://www.geni.com/profile/edit_basics/6000000032609800265 presents a series of 'missing country' where the Country (USA) is clearly included.
