The Jungle
[edit]Is there some reason that you're removing the header from all the pages you're creating? That creates more work for the next person to do, and they'll have to do it manually. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ah that's because I'm doing them with EditInSequence, which doesn't include yet automatic headings. I hope they figure out how to do it eventually Ostrea (talk) 07:35, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Why are you marking all of the text as “not proofread”? Your text looks very good, at the level of “proofread,” but I didn’t want to mark the pages as “proofread” myself in case you had some reason for not so doing. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 16:00, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's because it's text I haven't read and that I create by auto-transcribing with Google OCR, usually while doing something else on another screen. Google OCR usually does a good job, but from experience there's usually an omitted word/a typo every few pages, and all the touch-ups I do on the text are mostly formatting with typo corrections done at a glance, so to me it's not Proofread level yet. You're very welcome to put them at Proofread level if you want, I'll put them to Proofread/Validated at a later time, when I'll actually read the book (which could be in several months or years) Ostrea (talk) 16:34, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
