Where do the "dirty" notes come from?: addon tooltips show Untidy instead of dirty
The second dirty note is much simpler, it only contains a bit of ''italics'' text; the tool will remove the <nowiki><i> and </i></nowiki> and convert the text in between to ''italics''.
===Where do the "dirtyUntidy" notes come from?===
The author of this addon has a lot of data that was imported from <code>ancestry.com</code> via GEDCOM. It seems that the <code>ancestry.com</code> software doesn't always do a great job of converting their web pages to notes for GEDCOM export.
The popular '''Family Tree Maker''' software, in conjunction with <code>ancestry.com</code> also seems to have a lot of these "dirtyUntidy" notes in their GEDCOM exports.
There are probably other ways that dirty Untidy notes get into our data, but this tool can help clean it up.
