My great great grandfather's profile is locked and can only be edited by a curator. This curator is vaguely related by marriage to a relative and says she is not contactable. I would like my great great grandfather's profile unlocked. Relatives offline who preserve his records with an acedemic historian have pointed out errors. Also most of the profile is an official biography written in 1993. It is not necessary to replicate this, the official biography should be referenced. There is other more personal information that can be added.

Jeroen M.W. van Dijk As you did say it locked by curator that is not at the moment active. But may I suggest that you try to another curator like me and ask directly or in discussion group monitored by curators this question. If you contact a curator please include a link to the profile that needs to be unlocked. I must say I have see your name before with another question or comment so maybe the two issues are related to each other. So again if you really like me or another curator to help you please try to find us and ask our help and we will do it if we have time. The curators are unpaid managers with a little bit more editing rights to be able to solve problems of the other paid and unpaid managers on Geni.

Sharon Danbrook Curators please assist. I am currently blocked from editing my own profile. Probably occurred when I reported another "manager" who was adding to my profile under my name. I need to have other managers removed from my account. Weird and untrue stories are being added as well as photos used without my permission. I would like my error corrected so that I can access my account and all others cannot edit. I notice that you claim to be a 42 cousin of mine descending from the chute family. Do you have a gedmatch number?

Jenna Gray Why are curators adding living people to Geni and editing the profiles of living (and active) people ? Surely you wouldn't edit a living person's profile without talking to them about it first. And yet that has happened to me. As for a remotely connected curator going through a family history book that we fifty-somethings agreed to being in, when we were children. It seems obvious that this shouldn't be allowed and can end up breaching the privacy of people even who have no interest in being added to a World Family Tree. Curators can you please help answer this question on policy?

Jeroen M.W. van Dijk I have to go in detail why your case it did go wrong. I will not do that on a public forum. Please contact me via Geni message system. I'm easy to find.
And your question about policy and way we do things on Geni is a very complicated question and English is not my first language.
And I'm missing a lot information to give a good answer.
The best I can do is give answer in Dutch and based on Dutch or european archive laws. And your name sound Britsh, but it could also be American.
But in very general that the information is viewable for you and the curators does not mean that is published the general public and released for the world.

Jeroen M.W. van Dijk The last words should read that information about living persons is not published for the general public and released for the world. The Geni software does not allow that.

Jeroen M.W. van Dijk @Sharon What I meant to say is please post your request in the discussion group named "Curator please assist" then that is what you need so search on. So the search term, the magic words are "Curator please assist".
