Open data, not Open Source

Just because ABC Action News says GEDmatch is "open source" does not make it so. The source code that powers the website is nowhere to be found. It is actually open data, so I've changed the article to reflect this. Alexgleason (talk) 19:14, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

list of arrest made or dead people identified should get own article

we are running out of space on usage by law enforcement so the arrests made and the people identified should have their own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cadetrain (talk • contribs) 22:38, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cadetrain (your account seems to have been deleted) - you and 50.115.194.122 (was this you too?) moved most of the cases from here to a new article (List of suspected perpetrators of crimes identified with GEDmatch). Are you going to finish the transfer? Or has your account deletion prevented you from finishing? SylviaStanley (talk) 16:20, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Two other articles (Parabon NanoLabs and CeCe Moore) have similar Parabon information to that in the article List of suspected perpetrators of crimes identified with GEDmatch. I suggest making a link from Parabon NanoLabs and CeCe Moore to there. I suppose this might run into trouble in the future if Parabon didn't use GEDmatch for some cases (There is also a sub-section "List of arrest or identifications made with FamilyTreeDna" in the article Family Tree DNA) and/or if Cece Moore left Parabon. Anybody any comments? SylviaStanley (talk) 16:20, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Two other articles (DNA Doe Project and Colleen M. Fitzpatrick) have similar information to the data here under the sub-heading "DNA Doe Project." I suggest making and a link from here to the DNA Doe Project and from Colleen M. Fitzpatrick to the DNA Doe Project. Anybody any comments? SylviaStanley (talk) 16:20, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The much stricter opt-in policy used by GEDmatch as from May 2019 has caused The DNA Doe Project to say they will be switching as much as possible of their cases from GEDmatch to Family Tree DNA which still welcomes genetic genealogy as a method of solving cold crimes. Presumably Parabon will have to follow suit. SylviaStanley (talk) 03:25, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
