Task List
Task List
 * NOTE: You can scroll through tabs on Google Sheets. Next to the first tab, there are four lines stacked vertically. If you click that, you can see a complete list of all tabs on the Google Sheet. Additionally, next to the last tab, there are right and left arrows that you can click to scroll through.

1. Open the task list and choose a tab to work on

2. Open up ChatGPT and create a free account.

3. Sign your name next to a municipality

3. Copy the cell in column D that corresponds to your municipality

4. Paste the contents into ChatGPT where it says, "Send a message..."

5. Copy the answer it gives you into column E and add in asterisks * to each different section of information. Let the cell open to edit.

6. Next, ask ChatGPT: Can you provide the sources for this information? 
 * ChatGPT may give you links or explain where the information is from. You may need to Google where it says it got the information if it doesn't provide a direct link. For example, instead of a link it may say: "Archivio di Stato di Chieti: The State Archive of Chieti holds a wealth of historical documents and records related to the region of Abruzzo, including the Municipality of Arielli." So, you would Google "Archivio di Stato di Chieti: The State Archive of Chieti" to find the website.

7. Fact check all of the information ChatGPT provided. ChatGPT is bad with dates and numbers. Use CTRL+F to search dates or numbers or scroll through the page to find the actual information and fix it in column E.
 * Sometimes ChatGPT will use Wikipedia but not mention it as a source. You can open Wikipedia and search the municipality to see if it grabbed anything from there.
 * If you can't find the information, just take the bullet or sentence completely out. You don't need to google or try to find the information anywhere else.

8. Add in the URL and Page Titles in columns F-O that you used to fact check the information so we accurately source the information.

9. Put the date next to the municipality when you are finished 

10. Start the process over on the next locality
