Vol. | Index | AL? | % text[1] | Best scan[2] | Offset[3] | Glitches[4] | Comment[5] |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | index | 100 | [1] (poor) | 14 | Replaced with djvu from Google Books PDF. Good condition. Like the scan it replaced, without errata. | ||
2 | index | 100 | [2] (good) | 12 | New djvu, 100 dpi grayscale. Stray note stuck to one of the pages gone, but recorded. (may have had copyrighted material) No errata. | Index restored | |
3 | index | 100 | [3] (good) | 6 | New djvu file, while readable throughout, contains isolated blurred text.

Notes
[edit]- ↑ Percentage text added. Apart from vol. 1, text completed generally ranges between 2% and 4%. Text verified and marked is currently negligible. One point is that the project page suggests ligatures should be added; the æ ligature is very common in the DNB. Another point that needs to be visited is the use of strike-through text to show a "diff" for a later edition.
- ↑ The code here is "good" for the Toronto scans, "poor" for the Google scans, and "OK" for the Hyderabad scans that are of intermediate quality. This is the rule-of-thumb only: in some cases the Toronto scan for a page may be so corrupt that another scan works better.
- ↑ The offset is the difference of the djvu file number and the page number in the volume. This ought to be consistent throughout the volume: if it currently is known not to be, the entry is "n/a" and the next column gives details.
- ↑ The bot-generated initial postings have imperfections, to be noted here.
- ↑ Points include: the best scan may not have been used by the bot ("better text needed"); progress in formatting at least all the author templates.
