Is there a review corrections made by reviewers

When reviewing batches and making several corrections, is someone else going to review this again. One indexer missed a whole page, which I indexed. Just wondering if someone will now review the work I did. (I hope so)

Yes. When a reviewer corrects more than 20% of the fields (which in this case would be), then the batch will go to another reviewer automatically. RowlandPedro, in that case, you should send it back for reindexing. Also, if the indexer omitted an huge number of records, I would return it for reindexing. Here's how to do that: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/the-batch-i-am-reviewing-needs-reindexing

I agree especially if someone incorrectly marked the documents with no content to review. Then I end up having to index the full document instead of review. It would be good to have either a field to add a note and or ideally return the document for indexing instead of reviewing.

Most problems I have encountered is on images of the same person in a different format. Instead of combining the info per instruction they make several documents of the same person. Which doubles their work and the reviewer

@Layle Jon Harmon Every project has different instructions and some, like naturalizations do not combine information and each document must be indexed separately even though those documents are for the same person. Happy indexing and reviewing😎

The only time a naturalization project merge documents is when it is a Declaration and Petition for the same person in the same image. If there is a Declaration and a Petition for the same person, but are on different images then both will be indexed. The pop-up box for every Naturalization project contains, in part:

When combining information from multiple non-overlapping documents on the same image for the same individual, use the record number and record date of the Petition for Naturalization.

The two-step process in Naturalization are definitely not the same documents. A Declaration is when a person declares his/her intention to file a Petition. This is the "first papers" in the Naturalization process. A Petition is when they file to become a US citizen. An Oath is when the applicant signs the Oath, forsaking any other allegiance(s) the applicant may have and are now a US citizen. These latter two steps are the "second papers," and final, step in becoming a Naturalized US citizen. The Naturalization process takes 2-7 years (median is 5 years), start to finish, with some exceptions made, especially Military naturalizations during WWI.
