I have posted errors I’ve been finding while arbitrating. They might help you.

If the card says San Francisco and you add California, Yes I have to mark it wrong because California is not on the card

I will address only part of this here. But the thing is we can’t enter information that isn’t present on the record. This is across all projects.

The instructions are being reworked to clarify what exactly is a non-burial card.

If the infant has a Surname, enter that. If no name at all…. you’ll gonna have to ask wap.

I would like an official response from WAP on each topic; including, the issue of lack of burial location, designation of an infant whose name is not listed; field indicating state of death; – some of the cards say San Francisco, California – some only say San Francisco – last time I looked – San Francisco was part of California – so what is the harm of entering California when it is not on the card – or better yet – when the burial location is San Francisco, Calif – or San Francisco, CAL – but the death took place in San Francisco – are you really going to mark it wrong if California is entered into the State field?? trust me this is not any fun any more.

Correct me if I am mistaken but we are only “credited” with images we actually “correct.”
I do a batch of 20 sets with 10 cards per set every day.(Michigan Manifests)
Today my total only increased by 88 as most of the cards were name and date only and had few mistakes but I acutally read 200 images.
How can this be balanced with other projects that have more errors – fewer images etc.
Just wondering…
Regardless, it’s wonderful that all this info is getting digitized. I’m proud to participate.
