WIKITREE Sources

So over the past couple days I have been in a discussion about WIKITREE sources.

I love WIKITREE because the goal is to have 1 person per record. We can all work on those records, together, and all of our research is contained in one place.

Recently, however, I have come under fire because I have been adding information without proving the information was correct.

The information I have been adding did not conflict with any information that was already there, it was based on research that someone else did, and was at least marginally supported by DNA evidence.

I was told on multiple occasions to cease and desist, but I am not willing to give up.

I have posted a couple of links to my discussions there. Your input would be appreciated.  I really believe I am right on this topic and am frustrated that I cannot see the other side.  I chalk it up to me being a computer geek and the others being scientific genealogists.  I embrace open source and they embrace control.
