            Hi nanette.

             

            I happened upon the topic for Neil W. Duffin and I noticed his various job titles.  For a person's employment history, we want to keep the title separate from the company.  So for Neil Duffin, for example, instead of:

             

            Employer=Exxon Mobil       

            Title=President, ExxonMobil Development Company

             

            it should read:

             

            Employer=ExxonMobil Development Company

            Title=President

             

            If the employer doesn't already exist, just create a new topic for it.  I happened to be adding some of ExxonMobil's major subsidiaries, and just added ExxonMobil Development Company.  I'll go ahead and update this particular example.

             

            Thanks

              Thank you for making the changes, evening. 

              Yes, we have the new guidelines and are given instructions to enter the subsidiaries.

            Hi Nanette,

             I see you've marked some things for delete, sometimes after removing types or properties from them, when those things are duplicates.  The better thing to do is simply to mark them for merge with the correct topic.  In future, just click on the flag icon and then choose "Merge with another topic" instead of "Delete".  Thanks!

              I'll take note of that, Skud.  I'm sorry I've messed things up. Thank you for the information.
