WikiTree How To: Connect-a-Thon

YouTube

@splitbrain Some years ago, during my first #ConnectAThon at #WikiTree, where you basically sit at the PC from Friday 2 PM until Monday 2 PM, I decided that I can't sit at the PC all the time (which was kinda weird, because it's not like I didn't do that before ...). So I decided, that I will pretend to have a dog and take three walks with it per day. It felt good and I kept it up (although the frequency somehow decreased to two times per day after my COVID infection two years ago).

Like this, there is no poor dog sitting at home all day and it won't pee on the floor, if I decide to walk two hours later. Also, nobody sees its poo ๐Ÿ˜‰

Join me for the kick off of #ConnectAThon
A weekend of our global #CollaborativeGenealogy community coming together to grow the Free Family Tree on @wikitree
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Connect-a-Thon

Belated #3GoodThings, after skipping some days due to workload, exhaustion and #April2025ConnectAThon:
- beak cutting at the vet for #Gelbi went well, except being told that he's on the border of being too fat
- managed to create #WikiTree profiles for at least 2 direct ancestors during #ConnectAThon https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pfefferle-54
- 30 min after Thon, in which I showered, we approved the release at work, so it might get a little less hectic for the next few months until the next one

@WikiTreeExtensions: Including a feature for less clicking, when adding profiles, as well as one for less scrolling, when editing profiles. WBE is getting reading for #WikiTree's #April2025ConnectAThon.
