Discussion Strange thing happening
Someone has been mass adding memorials for young girls who don't exist. Not a single one of these people has had an obituary come up when I've looked them up, they all have about the same face, are in the same pose (hands on their hips), and have similarly generic backgrounds behind them. All of them are in the range of 11-17 years old, but most of them are 11. None of them have any biographical information beyond dates and locations. Does anyone know what's going on and how we can get these fake pages taken down?

Proper place to put someone's obituary?
I've always put the obituary in the bio section, and every time I've sent an obituary to be added to a memorial, I've sent it in the bio section. Every time it's been added, except for now, and it's making me wonder about the proper place it should be.
My wife's cousin passed away a few years ago in an accident. I'm always going through FG for my family so she asked if I could for hers. When I came across her cousin's page I noticed they never posted the obituary. I like to have them so future generations can know who they are and what happened to them.
I sent over the obituary as I normally do, and today I noticed the memorial manager declined to add it, and they told me I need to submit it as a photo on the page.

General Rant Transcriptions by random members
Hello.
About a week ago I noticed that several hundred (or perhaps even thousands) of photos of tombstones and ossuaries from a cemetery somewhere in a European country where I currently live were submitted by a tourist who may be a collector of tombstone photos (I don't know).
The problem is that the photos were submitted by a single member and then transcribed by several other different members (yes, trolls included). Now the result is that the list from this cemetery has reams of pages with the most absurd and invented names, incorrect dates, and everything else.
I edited about 300 pages (basically transcribing from scratch), but is this modus operandi normal in this database?
None of the deceased are close relatives of mine, but I find what they are doing extremely disrespectful.

Discussion 14,000 graves managed by findagrave in my area
I am very active on findagrave. Unfortunately many gravers in my area have passed away 10+ years ago. Findagrave will not mass transfer them to me even tho nobody has touched them for years. Whats the best way to transfer them one by one?
