    It's also helpful to provide the batch code found in brackets so that the helper can take a look when giving suggestions or clarifying directions.

    @maryellenstevensbarnes1 See the following example.
    [MQLP-CZP] I see this as an example of what @Edgel Lola VeNae was referring to and about which I have been wanting to ask. This is an example of the types of indexing we've been doing in different projects but this project doesn't show the complete What to do When Records Span Two Images in General Indexing Instructions, the parts about 1) Not indexing the First Image if it began on a previous Image, then marking the first image "No, No Extractable", and then 2) If the Last Image continues to the next Image continue to that Image by using a Reference Image. Unfortunately, I have tried reviewing at least ten of the batches and all but one was done correctly. I personally think batches of this type should be marked Difficult since we get so many indexers trying to index without much instruction or beyond their level of experience. I will keep this batch up for a day or two until you get an opportunity to see it. I tend to index later in the day from MST.

    I forgot to say that this particular Indexer did this batch correctly with just one or two minor errors in entries.
