And an additional 2,000 monitoring real-time entries for evidentiary correlations. And an additional 1,000 arbitrating wikiwars.<br /><br />Major misdirection in implying to present users that a source is acceptable rather than specifically evidence, and that sources are web-based. A couple of years ago Gordon Clarke stated that about 5% of genealogically evidentiary documents were on the web; no one pressed him to say how this estimate was derived. I estimate that at present the true figure is more like a 100,000,000th of that quantity, given the presence of practically no Asian and African genealogical material. For German material alone, the IGI extracts don't even count because the extractors omitted names of baptismal sponsors (whose identities constitute close to 50% of the genealogical content of each record). Duh.<br /><br />On the positive side, caution is being exercised regarding use of computer algorithms which would inevitably compound the horrorshow character of the present mess to make it even worse than Ancestry.com's OneWorldTree.<br /><br />A great pity that genealogical accuracy had not been the prime governing consideration before the thing was compiled.Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-22091179010259708842012-02-04T14:04:31.674-07:002012-02-04T14:04:31.674-07:00Wiki?

But in reality, this good thing already exists at WeRelate. I love what WeRelate does and have found it a great place to build my tree and connect with others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
