They can be excellent people but, I think that's a complete lack of respect blocking my ancestors' profiles having to ask for their permission. This, eventhough there's a mistake in what concerns the people in my tree. For example, I can't correct that Gunnor or Gonnor de Crepon's father (she's my 25th. great grand father) is not Herbastus de Crepon "The Dane" as Anne Marit, as curator, states in her profile, but "Herbastus de Crepon Arques who is a complete different person and so in this way, the mistakes goes up to the whole blood line ancestors.
So, as I've suggested before, let people who want to develop thier family tree without foreing help do so. At least, we should be asked so and not be unable to work in our tree becuase we can't make the necesary corrections 'cause this unrespectful blocking.

Yours sincerely,

Sylvia Bain

Sylvia, profiles this far back are the ancestors of hundreds of thousands of people. Because so many people want to edit and change them, the only way to prevent edit wars is to lock them. If you have good information, real primary sources not just copies of other people's research, then you should easily be able to start a private or public discussion about what needs to be changed.

So, it's not a lack of respect for you about your ancestors, but really an extraordinary respect for the whole user community and the ancestors we share!

You might want to explore the many discussions at soc.genealogy.medieval to better understand the scholarly evidence and the problems of documenting the de Crepon family. It's not as simple as it seems. Where scholars have debated for centuries, and a consensus has emerged only slowly, many amateurs on Geni are sure they have the answers ;)
