It looks as if this file has not uploaded correctly on Commons. You might want to try that again. -- Beardo (talk) 20:31, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, but the problem is, I uploaded the file from the Internet Archive using the uploader, and it doesn't let me do it again with the same file. And I also can't download it and then upload from my device, because the file exceeds local upload file size limit. I tried uploading a .djvu version using the uploader, but that also failed and the file didn't upload at all! My only option is to upload the same file under a different name, but that would mean a different Wikisource page as well and this frustrating process just really demotivated me from wanting to bother with that. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. If not I think I will just try uploading it under a new name later. Thanks! Treebitt (talk) 20:56, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- I have tried with the uploader as well and it didn't work. I am not clear where on Commons one should ask about such matters. -- Beardo (talk) 21:51, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- I asked, and another user purged the cache, and it seems fine now. c:Commons:Help_desk#Problems_uploading -- Beardo (talk) 05:21, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- That's wonderful! Thank you so much! Treebitt (talk) 07:34, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- I've edited the page list of the work, and realized that a few pages are missing from the scan. There doesn't appear to be a complete version of the same edition anywhere that I looked. Should I just mark the work as incomplete and proofread it as is? Or should I upload a different edition as a separate work which would be complete but of significantly worse scan quality?

- Found a lower quality scan of the same 4th edition here: https://archive.org/details/bim_eighteenth-century_the-compleat-geographer_1723
- Is there any way to add the missing pages from this scan to the higher quality one? If any experienced users could help. Treebitt (talk) 11:42, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
