The title was just not that helpful.
I don't know that I need to index a SAMPLE batch; but it would be extremely helpful to be able to see 4-5 EXAMPLE batches which have been indexed correctly.
Often I have questions as to what the instructions mean. Examples would very helpful. Sometimes I don't know what is wanted in terms of overlaid images, court documents, affidavits, and forms continued on a second image.
Samples of correctly indexed work would GREATLY increase indexer satisfaction while at the same time increasing accuracy.
Good Job Sheri in starting this needed discussion!
ps: from my work as a reviewer, I realize that not all indexers read and understand the project directions. A sample would be so much more accessible to indexers! If you show us what you want, we will be more likely to give it to you!

David Roderick McLean said: I have now reviewed 705 entries in this indexing project:
US, New York—County Naturalization Records, 1792–1976 [Part I] [MMSV-8NB]
Because the project instructions are very complex, and not every indexer reads them, I have yet to review a single batch that did not have errors.
Examples would have mitigated this problem.0 -
I would like to know how you index what you see on the image. Click on what? If I see something that fits the instructions, I'm offered nothing to index it. I'm very new at this.
