Ever since installing phpgedview 3 days ago I have been trying to access the wiki to read about the correct way of setting up the media firewall.
And yes I understand that outages are sometimes unavoidable but when it is extended over several days it would be nice if a redirect was put in place to explain the outage and give a target date for restoration of service.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
We don't have any form of monitoring service to tell us when the wiki is down. If the server has crashed, and the owner is on vacation, we'll just have to wait. If you are really desperate to read the wiki, try the google cache?
Thanks for the info guys. At least I know it's not my doing.
I wanted to use the wiki to guide me on a GED merge. I have two GEDs which overlap (some individuals in both).
The common individuals have more complete data in one GED than the other. I want to choose, on an individual basis which to add to the merged GED. Something like a drag&drop would be neat although I don't see a function like that.

As covered under multiple threads in this forum, PGV has no GED merge function, only a one-at-a-time INDI-INDI, FAM-FAM, SOUR-SOUR merge capability (that is very good) that is not practical for large overlaps. However, you may be able to use the clipping cart to segment overlaps and then import/merge those snippets into your PGV gedcom via other programs.
On a mac, Geditcom has an excellent join (not merge) with the possibility to renumber, if desired.

30-40, I'd do it with PGV, but are they in two separate GEDCOMS? If so, PGV can't merge anything.
If you wish to combine the two, and then have PGV merge the dupes, fast and pretty easy on this count.
Send me the two gedcoms, identify the Master and the 2nd gedcom, and I'll combine the two. If you wish it renumbered (you don't have any bot/spidering history about which you are concerned), then that's easy too. Just identify who is INDI-ID #1.

I did a side-by-side compare of my two GED's and the overlapping indi's vary in quality. I'll have to pick and choose which ones go into the merged GED.
I thought I'd create a new GED from the larger and better quality of the original GED's and manually add to/edit the new one based on data in the smaller GED.
If I get bogged down I'll launch another appeal!
Thanks to all.

Ahhh - This is EXACTLY the reason to use PGV's merge function. It provides a side-by-side, event-by-event, fact-by-fact selection option to use the best-sourced, best-detailed tag data. And therefore, this is the best reason (with so few overlapping details) to simply combine (not truly merge) the gedcoms. Offer still stands, but I'd recommend you experiment with the PGV merge option. Go and created a new INDI with yourself as the object of the data, but make obvious errors or differences in the information. Then go to Admin > Merge and in the first field, select your old INDI-ID and in the 2nd field, select/enter the newly-created INDI-ID. Then select Merge and see the function in action, with the side-by-side merge options.

My phpGedView wiki links aren't working:
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at wiki.phpgedview.net."
Is it me? or …
Thanks,

Yes, site is down. Don't you ever suffer an outage? Did you have a question that can't be answered otherwise, or simply anxious?

How many individuals in each gedcom. How many overlap?

I was hoping the Wiki would help to clarify this:
From Admin Menu: Data and GEDCOM administration / Merge records
From pop-up Help:
MERGE RECORDS
This page will allow you to merge two GEDCOM records from the same GEDCOM file.
This is useful for people who have merged GEDCOMs and now have many people, families, and sources that are the same.
…
About 30-40 individuals overlap. It may be easier to do a text edit on the raw GEDs, then import that.
30-40, I'd do it with PGV, but are they in two separate GEDCOMS? If so, PGV can't merge anything.

Thanks for the tip and URL about the Google cache. Should get my issues sorted pronto now.
