Request on how to post a Discussion as a Question

PABulfinch

1. Please state where the record is from
2. State the name(s) of the principal(s) in the record
3. If possible attach the image and the link to the image.
4. Attach one image per translation request
5. Once the request is posted, please review it to (a) make sure it makes sense to the reader; (b) the image is attached; (c) the image is legible (this could be checked before posting, too)
6. If you have a large number of requests, please post one or two at a time; wait for a response; then post one or two more
7. Please post the entire image instead of a snippet.
8. Please crop the image to see the entire page. It helps the translator to see the whole context and offers more material for comparison with the scribe's style of writing
9. Remember to thank the Responder
10. If you like the response, give the Responder a "Like"
11. Please post as "Ask as a Question" (Down arrown next to "New Discussion) and when the post is answered go back and mark as "Answered"

Thank you to all our German Group members. You are awesome!!

Ah, I should have read this earlier! I thought you'd prefer a snip, but I'll make a point of posting entire pages and specifying which parts I'm interested in.

For translation requestions, should that be posted as "Ask as a Question"? I had previously been told that these should be posted as "New Discussion".

Posting translation request as questions allows you to choose the translation(s) as a "best answer" which indicates to others that your request has been fulfilled.
