    1. RE: How do you report a whole page of errors?
    2. Kevin.S.Howell
    3. Hi, to report this sort of problem, that affects multiple entries on a page, all you need to do is 1) Submit a single correction against one of the entries affected. 2) Within the "Source" field on the corrections form, include text such as This page has an alignment problem between the names and districts. This error therefore affects multiple entries. This will prompt me to investigate the surrounding entries. I have investigated this particular page, but unfortunately the transcriber concerned does not accept corrections requests. I will therefore arrange to upload correct versions of the affected entries before the start of the next Database update. Kevin S.
