Profile photos

I do not know who removed the profile photos.

However, it seems hypocritical for you to scold others, when you unilaterally remove vital information from any profile you fancy.

Geni does not belong to you. You are not the arbitrator.

So far I have witnessed you as the most damaging and controlling user on Geni.

You have completely sabotaged my pedigree, and probably other pedigrees.

You lock all profiles to suit your needs alone, and refuse to apply standard pedigree practices.

The standard practice in pedigrees is to identity women by their maiden name. You unilaterally remove all maiden names from display view.

You then lock all profiles so that you can control all of Geni you want.

You pretend you have authority from Geni than you do, when in fact, you are not a staff member, and you misrepresent Geni policy.

You have removed vital information (the maiden name from all views except if one opens the profile) to suit your idiosyncratic personal preferences only.

You omitted the maiden names of your wife and mother. That's fine, that is your business, but then you also removed the maiden names of everyone else from the display field, which is not your business or right to do so. It is an abuse of curator privileges.

It ruins the affected pedigree.

Geni users cannot identify any female on profiles you vandalize, without clicking and opening the whole profile. Thanks to you, we can no longer see who these women are!

You render Geni pedigrees very time-consuming, hard to work with, because we have no idea who a woman's parents are unless we open every female profile. It is a great nuisance and inconsistent with normal pedigree practice.

Geni will be unusable if they allow you to continue to lock up all profiles you choose, and remove all maiden names from all display views.

If we cannot see the maiden name in the displays, users cannot work with Geni as we were once able to do.

Can you please have the courtesy to unlock the profiles you have vandalized to suit your preference?

Just because you happen to prefer concealment of the birth name from all display lists, does not mean you should impose this odd preference on everyone else.

Just set your own personal preferences to display married name only, to accommodate your preference. Then everyone wins.

The way you locked the profiles means we cannot see the maiden name along with the married name. You exclude the name for everyone. We cannot amend this with our preferences. You impose your idiosyncratic preference to display only the married name on everyone else.

All handwritten pedigrees identify women by their birth name, while you choose to conceal from display lists, all birth names, of all women, from all views.

The married name is secondary, yet you only allow married names in display lists. You deliberately removed all maiden names that I had entered, from all views, from all profiles. We can only finally see the maiden name when one opens the entire profile.

Please amend. Unlock these profiles. Stop abusing curator privileges to suit your personal agenda of hiding women's identities.

You removed all of my ancestors maiden names from all display lists, rendering the pedigree useless.

We only see married names in all lists!

What you do is not customary practice on pedigrees. Women are listed by their birth name. Yet, you prefer to omit the birth names of all women from display views.

Unlock the profiles so we can return the profile to their prior functioning state when we could see the birth name in pedigree and search lists.
