How do I get feeback to another indexer
I'm reviewing Italian records. I have an indexer who consistently needs correction. I can tell it's the same person because he/she always puts acute accents on Maria, Genova, Canepa, etc. That's not terrible, but this person always (always) put the date of the record transaction as the birth or death date, when the record clearly states "nato" (born) and the correct date, or "morto" (death) and the correct date.
It would save a lot of time not having to always correct that.
So, is the ANY way of getting feedback to a specific indexer. Does FS know who indexes a given batch?
I have tried returning to "Reindex" with an explanation (like "follow project instructions") but it still continues.

Yep there currently is not a method for a reviewer to send feedback to a particular indexer. 'Reindex with reasons' is as close as you can get currently - and absolves you of any responsibility (contact/education of the indexer then becomes the responsibility of FamilySearch). Perhaps go index some batches showing how you think it should be done - but Return Batch before completing - maybe that indexer will pick up one of those batches and wonder about the differences/location of fields in the records?

That's what I was afraid of. I guess that's why the use reviewers, else they'd be overwhelmed with feedback and indexer tracing. Kinda frustrating though. I never even made mistrakes while indexing <grin>.
