Hi, I see you are marking multiple pages that have text on them as "without text". This is incorrect. Please use either "Not Proofread" (pink/red button) or Proofread (yellow button), depending on how happy you are that you have caught any scanning errors.

 * Thanks for this note, Beeswaxcandle. I know which pages you're talking about, but I'm not sure if I should mark them as "Not proofread" quite yet, because I haven't cleaned up any of the actual body of the text yet (I'm working on the pages in batches and copying the text into my word processor, where it's easier to edit). As I understand it, if I mark the pages as "Not proofread", that's an indicator that they're ready to be proofread by someone else, which isn't the case here. Would it be appropriate to mark them as "Problematic" for now, and to add a note in the summary field explaining that I'm not finished with the initial clean-up yet? For the record, I'm planning on finishing the clean-up and marking these pages as "Not proofread" tomorrow. Thanks again for your help! --Baker 820 (talk) 21:40, 3 January 2020 (UTC)


 * What I do in this situation is to mark them as "Not proofread" and add the text "In progress". This flags that I'm still working on the page. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 21:50, 3 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Aha, that makes sense! :-) I'll change the status of those pages. I appreciate the tip, thank you! --Baker 820 (talk) 21:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
