Review images labelled as 'No Extractable Data' but that is not the case

I have been indexing and reviewing the Middlesex Parish records 1539 - 1988. When opening an image to review, I have frequently found, usually burials for the parish of Stepney, that the first indexer has marked the image as 'No Extractable Data' but in fact here are 2 pages of data, which I have proceeded to index. Has anyone else found this issue? I wonder if it is one particular indexer who has problems reading the writing and, instead of returning the image unindexed, is marking it as 'No Extractable Data'. Perhaps the moderators could look into this.

I would send those back for reindexing using the new form "Reasons to Reindex Batch". To find the form, with the batch open click on the Help Tab, click on the Labs tab, follow the instructions for turning on the feature and using the form. This way if it is an indexer who needs extra help, they might be able to receive some!

@quatonga there is also an Indexing Chat if you need any further help.

I've been doing Cambridge parish records for some time and find the same thing from time to time. I think the indexer looks at the document and decides it's too hard and rather than just sending it back marks it No Extractable Data.
