There are many wonderful things to be said about WikiTree and many of the persons involved are great. Unfortunately, too many of the leaders are control freaks who do not follow their own policies but do get upset if you don't or, as is too often the case, you don't follow their perception of the policy even when you can demonstrate that there was no conflict with the written policy.

They will often close accounts without following their own policy for account closures. My wife's account, was closed even though she was only lightly active, never violated any rules or policies, and was not even notified that her account was being removed. Their claim to have six levels of escalation before removing an account might be true in some cases, but certainly not all... and at times when it is utilized, it is used merely to project the illusion of a just process.

I would love to overlook these mean-spirited folks and recommend the site, but there have been so many others who have fallen victim to these folks that I can only recommend that one stay away.
