Bad Image
Commentaires, suggestions :
If an image is bad (not loading, mostly illegible, etc.), please post about this bad image in the project discussion.
Note that some page images are quite large, and it is common for your browser to have difficulty displaying them, especially if you have several windows open or are using an older computer. Try closing some of your windows and programs to see if that helps, or post in the project discussion to see if anyone else has the same problem.
Wrong Image for Text
Commentaires, suggestions :
If there is a wrong image for the text given, please post about this bad page in the project discussion.
Previous Proofreading or Formatting Mistakes
Commentaires, suggestions :
If a previous volunteer made a lot of mistakes or missed a lot of things, please take a moment and provide feedback to them by clicking on their name in the proofreading interface and posting a private message to them explaining how to handle the situation so that they will know how in the future.
Please be nice! Everyone here is a volunteer and presumably trying their best. The point of your feedback message should be to inform them of the correct way to format, rather than to criticize them. Give a specific example from their work showing what they did, and what they should have done.
If the previous volunteer did an outstanding job, you can also send them a message about that—especially if they were working on a particularly difficult page.
Printer Errors/Misspellings
Commentaires, suggestions :
Correct all of the words that the OCR has misread (scannos), but do not correct what may appear to you to be misspellings or printer errors that occur on the page image. Many of the older texts have words spelled differently from modern usage and we retain these older spellings, including any accented characters.
Place a note in the txet [**typo for text?] next to a printer's error. If you are unsure whether it is actually an error, please also ask in the project discussion. If you do make a change, include a note describing what you changed: [**typo "txet" fixed]. Include the two asterisks ** so the post-processor will notice it.
Factual Errors in Texts
Commentaires, suggestions :
Do not correct factual errors in the author's book. Many of the books we are preparing have statements of fact in them that we no longer accept as accurate. Leave them as the author wrote them. See Printer Errors/Misspellings for how to leave a note if you think the printed text is not what the author intended.
