The Common Room / Re: Does anyone have experience of Wikitree
« on: Sunday 05 November 17 21:37 GMT (UK) »
I just answered another question here about WikiTree and privacy settings. Please see my response at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=781810.msg6364585#msg6364585
Several on this thread have expressed reservations about sharing "my tree" on the internet. That is great that you know that about yourself and your research. Clearly, WikiTree is not about "my tree" or your tree; it is about a one world family tree, so it is not a good fit for those who want to limit editing by others on "my tree". All donations of our family twigs (because in the worldwide, 15 million+ profiles on WikiTree, our individual contributions are just twigs) to the WikiTree are gifts to the WikiTree community, so it is a good idea to not give what you want to control.
Please see the Honor Code for details: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Honor_Code
I also saw a concern about WikiTree hijacking data. Please see this information about the commitment to a free, one world family tree: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:The_Free_Family_Tree
I would be happy to answer any questions about WikiTree. Please feel free to contact me!
