https://getsatisfaction.com/familysea...

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.

    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.
