We are now in the discuss mode on what constitutes a "half a page" and I have moved this topic across to the DISCUSS list.

Surely if a page does not contain any information after a point, then it is complete regardless of whether it is only one line or 380 lines. However, when I know there is about to be a rebuild, I upload my latest file regardless of how complete it is. I work on the basis that the more uploaded the better. If I have not completed a page there should not be a +PAGE at the bottom ( I am sure this is the instance that Dave was talking about) Obviously on the next rebuild, the remaining data will be added complete with its expected +PAGE marker. I guess another example would be if someone gave up half way through, or if a scanned page faded badly or was damaged after a certain point making it impossible to complete. Does that sound like sense, or am I talking complete b******t again:-) Regards Sheelagh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Powell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 9:33 PM Subject: Re: Half a page > In message <[email protected]>, Allan Raymond > <[email protected]> writes > >I'm intrigued and would like to know in which circumstance would > >volunteers only transcribe half a page (ignoring the particular > >instances where the actual page is devoid of the normal compliment of > >records when there is a change in the index letter or end of a time > >period) > > I suspect it is indeed the change in the index letter - I've had such an > occurrence in my last batch and my present batch. > -- > Philip Powell > > > ==== FreeBMD-Admins Mailing List ==== > Want to help FreeBMD? > Go to http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/Signup.html to find out how. > > ============================== > Ancestry.com Genealogical Databases > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist2.asp > Search over 2500 databases with one easy query! > > ==== FreeBMD-Admins Mailing List ==== Need to get a fast answer to your transcribing problems?
