John Thanks for the comments. I changed the Web Page an hour or so ago to say that the Question and Answers will be incorporated into the "Rules". I will incorporate your suggestions later on today.

I have visited your +PAGE page. Please could we have four more rules rather than questions and answers. The rules should address 1 known blank pages, eg where a transcriber reports a blank tiff or tiffs. 2 the treatment of single giant initial pages 3 that +PAGE is obligatory at the end of the transcription of a complete tiff as a single file. 4 a clear statement of where the +PAGE should be typed. One of my transcribers tried everywhere but the surname field! If one is difficult to reconcile "It is highly desirable that...." with "but this is not obligatory". I would opt not to do it with given the choice, please omit from the rules or make it obligatory. Should we make clear that the rules only apply to scans? There is a general point in all this that we have to take great care to be sure we all share the same concept of what we mean by a page. I have deliberately started to use "tiff" when I am speaking of blanks. From a transcribers point of view it is the tiff that is blank.
